Learn to write by hand — really write. Meshk is a handwriting and calligraphy trainer that guides your pen stroke by stroke, scores every stroke in real time, and covers 140 writing systems in one app. From Latin cursive and Arabic calligraphy to Chinese hanzi, Japanese kana, Korean Hangul, Devanagari, Tamil, Thai, Cherokee, Ge'ez and N'Ko — 73 scripts in living use today, 66 historic ones, 163 practice packs and 12,818 characters, every one with authentic stroke order. WHAT YOU PRACTICE 140 writing systems Latin (print, cursive, formal script, school manuscript) and Cyrillic · Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac and Thaana · Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Japanese kanji and kana, Korean Hangul and hanja, Bopomofo · 39 Brahmic scripts including Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Odia, Sinhala and Tibetan · 17 Southeast Asian scripts including Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, Javanese, Balinese and Baybayin · African scripts including Ge'ez, N'Ko, Tifinagh, Vai, Adlam and Bamum · Armenian, Georgian and Greek · and 66 historic scripts from Egyptian-era alphabets to Runic, Gothic, Glagolitic, Old Turkic, Brahmi, Linear B and Cuneiform-era writing. Hat — classical Arabic calligraphy Five historical styles taught the traditional way: Naskh, Thuluth, Diwani, Ruq'ah and Kufi, with right-to-left guides and reed-pen (qalam) simulation that reproduces the angled nib of a real calligrapher. Hat Studio Meşk the way calligraphers learn it: 896 Arabic compositions, from single words and joined words to full lines, stacked compositions, panels, the tughra and mirrored writing, each written stroke by stroke with a reed pen. Eight more pen hands (Foundational, Uncial, Cyrillic and Greek broad pen, Hebrew Ashuri, Hangul Panbonche, Chinese Kaishu, Japanese Kaisho) and a drawing shelf of 84 exercises in line, ellipse, form, perspective, value, contour and construction. Real stroke scoring Not tracing theatre. Every stroke is compared with the master stroke for direction, order, shape and placement, then scored. Hints show exactly where your stroke went off. Animated stroke guides Watch each character written stroke by stroke, replay at your own speed, then write it yourself over a dotted outline, on lines, or on a blank page. Courses, lessons and exams Every script has a structured course: single letters, lowercase and uppercase, connecting letters, words, then an exam that scores you and awards stars. Kids Zone Playful, age-appropriate letter tracing for children — shapes, letters, words, badges and streaks, with a progress map they want to finish. Your own practice material Add your own words, your own texts and blank practice papers. Meshk builds lessons from whatever you want to write — a name, a poem, a vocabulary list. Import your own fonts Bring any writing style in as SVG and Meshk turns it into a guided, scored course. MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL Low-latency ink, pressure and tilt response, paper-texture haptics and hover support. It feels like a pen on paper, not a finger on glass. Works on iPhone too.

ITFlowPro puts the tools IT pros reach for every day in one fast, tidy app: network tests, security utilities, converters, and a help desk reference library. NEW: A HOME SCREEN THAT WORKS Home is now a set of live tiles, not a list of icons. See your ping time, check a certificate’s days remaining, size a subnet, generate a password, hash some text, or copy the current Unix time without opening a single tool. QUICK CHECK Paste an IP address, domain, or MAC address and ITFlowPro runs the checks that make sense together. • IP address: ping, reverse DNS, location, and common open ports • Domain: DNS records, ping, SSL certificate, and Whois • MAC address: manufacturer and address type Pin the result to your Home tiles to keep an eye on it. MAKE IT YOURS Choose Edit Home to show or hide tiles, make them small or wide, and drag them into the order you want. Prefer the original grid? Switch back to Classic in Settings. On iPad, Home sits at the top of the sidebar with a full-width tile canvas. NETWORK TOOLS • Subnet Calculator: CIDR, ranges, masks, host counts, and binary • IP Converter: decimal, binary, hex, and octal • DNS Lookup: A, AAAA, MX, TXT, CNAME, NS, and SOA records • Ping and Traceroute: round-trip time from your device (TCP based) • MAC Lookup: identify the manufacturer from a MAC address • Wi-Fi Info: network name, BSSID, and signal strength • Network Scanner, Port Scanner, SSL Inspector, Whois, IP Geolocation, HTTP Builder, DNS Security, and Wake on LAN (Pro) SECURITY • Hash Generator: MD5, SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-384, and SHA-512 • Base64 encode and decode, including URL-safe • Password Generator with entropy estimates • QR Generator for text, links, and Wi-Fi sign-in • Breach Check (Pro): see if a password has appeared in known breaches. Only a partial hash is ever sent, never the password. CONVERTERS Number bases, storage units (SI and IEC), and a transfer-time calculator for any file size and connection speed.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IT Flow Pro at 5.0 against Meshk's 3.9. IT Flow Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Meshk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
