Faster everywhere. Brush presets are warmed up before the first tap, so the library opens, pinches and scrolls without a stutter. Documents load under the opening zoom instead of after it. The editor chrome, menus and gallery no longer spend from the drawing frame budget.

About
Draw one stroke. Mecmua folds it into sixty-four at once. Mandalas, kaleidoscope rosettes, Islamic tilings and Turkish ebru marbling — all drawn by hand, all folded live by a real symmetry engine running on the GPU. Free to start, with no account, no ads and no watermark. WHAT YOU CAN MAKE • Mandalas and rosettes — 2 to 64 mirrors, with or without reflection • Kaleidoscope art that moves as you draw, never stamped and never copy-pasted • Repeating patterns — 7 frieze groups and all 17 wallpaper tilings, the geometry behind arabesque and tezhip • Ebru marbling — drop, comb, wave, vortex and stylus tools that move a real simulated ink surface, the way paper is marbled on water • Arabic and Ottoman calligraphy — over 400 brushes modeled on real hands, across Thuluth, Diwani, Ruq'ah, Wissam, decorative and diacritic-marked (tashkeel) styles, with a dedicated reed-pen (qasab) set A FULL DRAWING APP UNDERNEATH • Layers, blend modes, masks, clipping and unlimited undo • Pencils, inks, markers, airbrushes, wet blending, smudge and eraser • Curves, gradient maps, color balance, Liquify and Clone • Text, QuickShape, crop and resize, drawing guides and perspective assist • Apple Pencil pressure and tilt, plus Pencil Pro squeeze and barrel roll mapped to whatever you choose • Import brush files made in other drawing apps A QUIET PLACE TO DRAW The ink keeps flowing after your hand stops. Many people open Mecmua to relax — the way a zentangle, a mosaic or a slow ASMR doodle works — and let the symmetry finish the sketch for them. It is a pattern maker as much as a drawing app. SYMMETRY THAT IS NOT A STAMP The fold lives inside the renderer, applied before a single drop of ink is evaluated. That is why sixty-four mirrors run as fast as two — and why changing the symmetry re-folds the drawing you already made, in one tap, fully undoable. Your work stays resolution independent. An export is re-rendered from your strokes at full size, never upscaled. EXPORT • PNG stills with transparent layers • A looping video of the symmetry turning • A time-lapse of the whole session • Live Photo and wallpaper sizes for iPhone and iPad FREE, AND UNLIMITED Free keeps every brush, every tool, every layer, symmetry up to 12 mirrors and 4K export — permanently. Mecmua Unlimited adds 8K stills, video and Live Photo export, 13 to 64 mirrors, all 17 wallpaper tilings, and spherical and hyperbolic symmetry. Available yearly with a free trial, or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Built for iPad and iPhone. Drawn on the GPU with Metal. Privacy Policy: https://apps.cihat.dev/mecmua/privacy-policy/
