Abstrakt is a design tool for iPhone. Build geometric posters shape by shape, and bring your own ideas to life. Start with a shape and build outward. Place it where you want it, turn it, size it, give it color, until the composition looks like something you meant to make. Nothing is fixed until you decide it is. FULL MANUAL CONTROL Every shape is yours to place and adjust. Nothing is locked once it's on the canvas. A STARTING POINT, IF YOU WANT ONE Tap shuffle for a composition to work from, then reshape it into your own. Or start from an empty grid and build from scratch. CURATED COLOR A hand-picked palette library inspired by Bauhaus and mid-century design. Built for compositions that look intentional. PRINT-READY EXPORT Export at real 300 DPI, sized for actual framed prints, not a phone-sized PNG. Make something you'd hang on a wall. YOURS, ONCE One purchase unlocks everything. No subscription, no recurring charge. Your posters stay on your device. Never uploaded.
