Tinta
Just draw. Pay once.
A deliberately simple sketchbook for iPhone and iPad. Real brushes, layers, shapes, and Apple Pencil — with no subscription, no account, and no cloud.
Coming soon to the App StoreEverything included
Five real inks + eraser
Pen, pencil, marker, watercolor, and crayon, with Apple Pencil pressure and tilt. Fingers welcome.
Layers
Up to 12 per drawing — opacity, blend modes, reorder, rename — in a sidebar that stays out of your way.
Shapes & ink bucket
Lines, rectangles, ellipses, and tap-to-fill. They behave like ink: erase, undo, paint over.
Zoom & pan
Pinch to 8×, two-finger pan, two-finger double-tap to snap back to fit.
Guides
Grid or dots plus rulers in canvas points — visible over any colors, never in your exports.
Import & export
Bring photos in from Photos or Files as layers; share flattened PNGs anywhere.
Any canvas
Square, portrait, landscape, screen-size, or custom up to 4096 points per side.
Dark mode
Easy on your eyes at night. Your paper stays white and exports always match what you drew.

Simple on purpose
Most drawing apps compete on feature count. Tinta competes on how fast you can get a thought onto the page. Every tool is one tap away, every control fits on one screen, and nothing interrupts you — no upsells, no "pro" banners, no login walls. It's the paper notebook of drawing apps.
And because Tinta never connects to the internet, your art is nobody's business but yours. Read the whole privacy policy — it's one page.
