Callipeg

Callipeg is a 2D hand-drawn animation app available on iPad, iPhone (Callipeg mini) and Android. It offers both frame-by-frame and keyframe animation tools in a workspace suitable for a range of projects, from simple scenes to complex sequences. The app is available through a one-time purchase, with no subscription required.

Users can draw and manage their animations using a timeline and onion skin features. The interface is built for both professionals and those new to animation, with support for left-handed users and customizable menus.

Callipeg supports organizing work by shots, scenes, and folders. It allows for asset management through drag-and-drop, color tags, and search functions. The app provides a variety of drawing tools, including different brushes, custom palettes, and a fill tool with adjustable settings.

Multiple layer types are available, such as drawing, video, transformation, audio, and group layers. Images, videos, and audio can be imported for reference or rotoscoping, and layers can be organized with color coding.

Animation controls include multitouch gestures, customizable onion skinning, and features like out-of-pegs (shift and trace) for advanced frame management. Users can adjust the workspace, import unlimited reference images, and export projects in various formats compatible with industry-standard software.

Callipeg supports high-resolution animation (up to 4K), unlimited layers, and includes automatic saving and backup features. The app is regularly updated, and users are invited to join the Discord community to share feedback and suggestions.
