Folks! Join in the fun: Infinite Canvas is now officially available in iOS and macOS App Stores all around the globe as a free download (with optional premium features).

About the App

InfiniteCanvas is a simple, delightful “whiteboarding” app. It’s not for fine art, but for conceptual drawings, and gets out of your way so that you can get ideas on the (digital) paper quickly.

It’s called “infinite” because you can pan around the canvas for ages. And zoom in and out.

Zoom!

Infinite Canvas is like Prezi (the presentation app) for drawings: you can nest drawings ‘inside’ others by zooming in, then use the space between existing strokes for a whole new drawing.

Why constant brush strokes?

Infinite Canvas has a peculiar brush. The stroke width is relative to the current zoom level, so that you get a consistent level of detail of your drawing as you see it at that moment.

The eye is tricked easily, so here’s three zoom levels (100%, 200%, 400%) with the same brush stroke. In the screenshots, I superimposed a black rectangle of the same pixel size around a stroke make comparing what you see easier: the brush strokes I framed are of equal width.

I’ll write about the experience, soon, but today is release day, so let’s party and you have fun playing with the app 🎉

Thank You!

Thanks to my wife for the support and lending a hand when it came to seeing colors (I’m red/green deficient) and working with assets in Adobe.

Thanks to my daughter for playing with the initial app prototype – with so much joy that it inspired the direction of what came after, including the silly but fun colors everywhere. (Can you find the rainbow mode easter-egg I added for her?)

Thanks to the couple of hundred people signing up for TestFlight so quickly, and especially thank you to those who sent in feedback! I’ll release some of the changes you requested in the next update.
