that feels handmade.
I'm Léo — an illustrator who got tired of bloated drawing apps. So I built the one I wanted on my iPad. No accounts. No ads. Just you, a canvas, and brushes that feel right.

What's inside
Small app. Surprisingly deep.
Every tool earned its place. If it didn't make a real drawing better, it didn't make the cut.
Layers that work
Blend modes, masks, clipping. The basics done properly — finally.
Quiet smart tools
Shape recognition and perspective guides that show up only when asked.
Color, the easy way
Curated palettes from real artists, plus a picker that actually makes sense.
Export, without drama
PNG, JPG, PDF, layered PSD. Sends to anywhere — even your old Mac.
Built native, not ported
Apple Pencil hover, Stage Manager, iCloud, Shortcuts. The works.
Kind words
From people who draw every day.
"I switched from Procreate for the brush feel alone. The tiny details — like how the ink dries — are unreal."

"It's the first app where I stopped fighting the UI. I've drawn more in two weeks than the last three months."

"I emailed support at 11pm with a weird Apple Pencil bug. Léo replied in twenty minutes. Twenty."

a quick note from me —
SketchFlow is built by one person in a small studio in Lisbon. There's no VC money, no growth team, no roadmap meetings. Just me, my iPad, and the quiet ambition to make something worth using every day.
If you find a bug, write me directly. If you have an idea, I'll read it. Thanks for trying it out — really.
