Built for real drawing
No clutter, no lag — just a canvas-first app with the tools that matter and nothing that doesn’t.
A GPU-accelerated, stamp-based brush engine renders every stroke the instant you draw it — built directly on Apple’s Metal, on iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Ink, paint, charcoal, airbrush, pencils and pastel — each pressure-sensitive — plus a Brush Studio to craft your own. Full Apple Pencil support.
Unlimited layers with opacity, alpha lock, clipping masks and 23 blend modes — total compositing control, GPU-fast.
Generate reference art from a prompt or your own sketch — privately, right on your device. No cloud round-trip.
Finger, Apple Pencil, mouse or trackpad. The same studio scales from your pocket to a full Mac window — one purchase covers them all.
No account, no tracking, no ads, no cloud. Every brushstroke and drawing lives only on your device.
Open FORMA and you’re drawing in seconds — no setup, no sign-in, no nagging. Strokes land exactly where you expect, the canvas never stutters, and your work is always yours. The kind of tool that quietly disappears so the art can happen.
