Meet Krokito — a cheerful pencil who shows children that every beautiful drawing starts with one simple line. Krokito works differently from typical drawing apps. An animated pencil draws on the screen step by step while a friendly voice explains what is taking shape and what to look at. Your child doesn't trace with a finger on glass — they watch, listen, and draw with their own hand on real paper. That builds observation skills, a confident hand, and imagination — and every drawing is truly theirs, ready for the fridge door. Every lesson leads from simple shapes to a finished picture: big helper circles and ovals first, then the outline, then the details. You can pause the animation at any moment, go back, or replay a step — at the child's pace, not the app's. Who is it for? Children aged 4 and up who love to draw — or are about to discover that they can. No reading required: voice and picture guide everything, so little ones can use it on their own. What's inside: — 40 lessons in 4 categories: animals, faces, landscapes, and objects — a warm-up before drawing: easy ovals, waves, and dot-to-dot lines — voice narration in 8 languages: English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Dutch — a drawing journal: keep photos of your child's artwork and track their progress A fair deal for parents: — 14 lessons completely free; unlock everything with one small one-time purchase, shared with your family — no subscriptions, no hidden fees — zero ads, zero accounts, zero tracking — all lessons work fully offline: on a plane, on a trip, at grandma's — purchases and settings are tucked away behind a parent gate Grab paper and a pencil — Krokito is ready to draw. The first line is waiting!

Learn to draw one stroke at a time. When a part goes wrong, let the AI fix just that part. AI FIX House came out crooked? Can't draw hands or a face in profile? Circle that part and the AI redraws it in your own style. Nothing outside the circle changes. It works on drawings you make here and on any picture from Photos. Circle an empty spot and say what to add, and it draws that in your style too. Hold to compare before and after, then keep it, save it or share it. Two fixes are included; packs of 10 and 50 are sold separately, no subscription. Images are uploaded only when you choose AI Fix; see Privacy below for processing and retention details. AI Fix is not available in the mainland China App Store. LESSONS, ONE STROKE AT A TIME • A dashed guide shows the next stroke: where it goes and how big. • Draw over it with your finger or Apple Pencil. Every stroke is checked for shape, position and size. Redo it, or keep it and move on. • A kept stroke settles onto the guide, and the line still looks like yours. Switch this off in Settings if you prefer. • At the end, your lines appear beside the corrected drawing with a similarity score. • Then the guide goes away and you draw the same subject from memory. 233 DRAWINGS 114 are included: the whole Easy level, 110 drawings of 1 to 12 strokes across animals, food, nature, everyday objects and vehicles, plus four harder samples such as The Great Wave and Girl with a Pearl Earring. The Advanced Set unlocks the other 119 Medium and Hard drawings, up to 121 strokes: anime characters, chibi animals, scenes such as a torii gate in the water, a castle and a Ferris wheel, plus the Mona Lisa and The Scream as simple line art. One-time purchase, no subscription. Future advanced drawings are included, and the purchase restores on your other devices. ALSO INSIDE • Search drawings by name or category, alongside the difficulty filter. • Doodle Challenge: draw a named subject from memory in 20 seconds and see whether the app recognizes it. • A gallery of your last 500 drawings, shareable as images. • Progress for every drawing, a difficulty filter, pinch-to-zoom, and "skip this stroke" so a lesson never gets stuck. • An optional daily reminder, and Apple Pencil double-tap to undo. • Made for iPhone and iPad. PRIVACY No account, no ads, no tracking. Lessons, progress and your gallery are stored on your device. Purchases use Apple’s StoreKit. Optional AI Fix sends the selected region, a small reference image (or the whole picture in whole-picture mode), and your hint through our server to Google’s image model. A random installation identifier is sent only to our server for usage limits. We do not save the image, hint or result on our server; daily installation counters expire after 36 hours. Google may retain prompts and responses for up to 55 days for abuse monitoring. See our privacy policy for details.
