About

SUPSKETCH

Features
Read full description

SUPSKETCH is a garden design app for people who would rather draw than fill in forms. Sketch beds, terraces, paths, hedges, ponds and walls at true scale, drop in plants that grow year by year, and lay out an irrigation network with pipes, sprinklers and valves. Everything you draw stays on your device. There is no account to create and no server to trust: the app works offline, and your plans are files, not a service. • Draw at real scale: areas, lines, rectangles, circles, arcs and walls • Materials with real patterns: paving, gravel, decking, lawn, planting, water • A plant library with mature sizes, so year 1 and year 10 look different • Irrigation: pipes, sprinklers, drippers, valves, with lengths and trench volumes • Quantities: surfaces per material, excavation, topsoil, pipe lengths • A printable report with plan, legend and quantities • Works offline, on iPhone and iPad • Six languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Italian The free version lets you draw everything and keeps one garden. The monthly subscription adds unlimited gardens, duplicating a garden and the printable report. It renews automatically and you cancel it in your Apple Account. SUPSKETCH monthly is an auto-renewable subscription: EUR 9.99 per month, with the first week free. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings.
