Square Sketch

Square Sketch is a professional tool for visualizing your ideas on a square grid.

It combines the simplicity of pen and paper with the advantages of a vector drawing app and is thus a kind of digital graph paper.

Features:

• Pen & paper UI: The window shows only the drawing area and, like a sheet of paper, has no toolbar, no options bar, and no shapes palette to avoid distractions. The draw tool with a pen-shaped pointer is active by default so you can start drawing right away.

• New interaction concept: By removing the toolbar, the app introduces a new interaction concept that eliminates the need to constantly switch between tools. Instead, there are a few simple tools that perform multiple functions depending on the pointer gesture and can be combined.

• Less is more: There is a deliberate focus on essential features and a style that is ideal for drafts: one font size, two pen colors, and two stroke widths.

• Flexible: On the unlimited drawing area, you can start anywhere and expand your draft in any direction. Even after drawing, all objects remain fully editable.

• Clean & precise: Typed text instead of handwriting, exact geometric shapes, grid with three levels of detail, and automatic snapping.

• Adaptive colors: Colors can be individually set for the drawing area in light and dark mode, as well as for export and print, and change according to the situation.

• Auditory feedback: The lack of haptic feedback, as with real pen and paper, is replaced by auditory feedback, creating a similarly immersive experience.

• Offline storage: The drawings are saved locally in an XML format.

• Export & Print: PNG and SVG files can be created directly using the export function. PDFs can be generated using the print function and the operating system.

• One-time purchase: Support a small indie studio with your purchase.
