About

Napkins

Features
Read full description

I built Napkins because I was working on a logo and wanted to quickly draw many versions of it. Every drawing app I tried made me create a document first, pick a canvas, choose a color. By the time I was ready to draw, I had lost the idea. So this one opens on a blank napkin. You draw. You swipe sideways and there is a clean one. You draw the next version. That is the whole app. WHAT'S IN IT β€’ A blank canvas the moment you open it β€’ Swipe for a fresh napkin, swipe back to see the last one β€’ Three brushes: pen, marker, pencil β€” fine, medium, or bold β€’ Four papers: plain, dots, lines, grid β€’ No layers, no color picker, no menus NOTEBOOKS By default your napkins are one long roll. Notebooks lets you keep named stacks instead β€” one for logos, one for a client, one for whatever you are working through. It is optional, monthly or yearly. Good for logo studies, app screens, a floor plan, a seating chart, or explaining something to someone across the table. Your sketches stay on your iPhone. No account, no sign-in, no sync.
