GeoMaker is a pattern studio that never runs dry. Pick one of 70 generative engines, move its levers, and watch original art redraw instantly — every piece grown from a seed, so anything you love can be brought back, tuned again, and saved to Photos in full resolution. TOUCH THE ART Fifteen engines respond to your fingers. Comb floating ink like real suminagashi marbling. Tap wave crests and clouds into an irezumi background. Fracture kintsugi ceramic and paint the gold vein yourself. Bend a maze through a lens, drag the focus of an op-art illusion, morph a living fractal. Turn on kaleidoscope symmetry and one drag becomes six. THE JAPANESE COLLECTION Made by a tattoo artist, GeoMaker goes unusually deep on classical Japanese pattern: sayagata and higaki frets, asanoha hemp-leaf, seigaiha waves, shippō, kikkō, kagome, yagasuri, uroko, ichimatsu, bishamon kikkō armor, matsukawabishi pine-bark, tatewaku rising steam, hanabishi, raimon thunder scrolls, kumiko lattices, kintsugi, indigo shibori, irezumi waves, clouds and mist, and kiku & sakura florals. AND EVERYTHING ELSE • Organic — flow fields, reaction-diffusion, differential growth, mycelium, Voronoi, terrazzo • Sacred & geometric — flower of life, mandalas, Metatron's cube, hex tilings, truchet, Islamic girih, Celtic knots • Wallpaper classics — polka-dot motifs, stripes & chevrons, herringbone parquet, fish scales, low-poly mesh, circuit boards • Mathematical — Penrose aperiodic tiling, Archimedean tessellations, spirograph, mazes & the Hilbert curve, Greek key frets, op art • Fractal — Mandelbrot & Julia, L-systems, the Apollonian gasket, strange attractors MAKE IT YOURS • 18 curated palettes, black & grey to neon — or desaturate any palette into greyscale • Line weight on every pattern, from hairline etching to bold marker • Paper grain and vignette finishing • Seeds: same seed, same art — copy a link that reproduces the exact piece • A favorites shelf that stores the full recipe of anything you make • Full-resolution PNG export through the share sheet Four patterns are free forever, fully featured. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else — no subscription, ever. Private by design: no account, no ads, no tracking, no data collected. Works completely offline.
