About

Gutterly

Features
Read full description

Gutterly is the fast way to make comic pages. Pick a layout, tap a panel, draw. No accounts, no cloud, no clutter — just you and the page. MAKE PAGES, NOT FILES • Six classic panel layouts: splash, 2x2, 3-row strip, splash+3, 2x3, big-left • Tap any panel to zoom it full screen and draw with pen, pencil, or marker • Undo, redo, and autosave on every stroke • Build multi-page comics — your library shows each book as one stacked cover LETTER IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT • Drop captions anywhere — even punching through panel borders for that live, kinetic look • Drag, resize, and scale text with simple handles • Name your panels with classic corner captions DRAW OVER ANYTHING • Import a photo into a panel and draw right on top of it — references, backgrounds, collage • Move, resize, and crop images by reframing them • A floating scratch pad for trying out colors and sketching ideas — never shows up on the page SHARE THE FINISHED THING • Export any panel, page, or whole comic as crisp PNGs • What you see is exactly what exports — same rendering everywhere PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything lives on your device. Gutterly collects nothing, tracks nothing, and never phones home. Made for getting the idea down while it's still moving.
