How Smudjo works

Short answers to what people ask us, one chapter a page, for Smudjo 1.1.1 on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

• Paint Together

  Host a painting and invite people with a code or a QR code. Up to eight on one canvas, on the same Wi‑Fi or anywhere.

• Brushes and smudge

  Twelve brushes that read pressure, and tilt and speed where a real one would. Smudge, the eraser, fill, brush settings, and brushes of your own.

• Layers and groups

  Add, hide and reorder layers; opacity, blend modes, lock, alpha lock and clipping; groups, and pictures to paint from.

• Selection and transform

  Select part of a painting, then move it, scale it and turn it, copy and paste it, or paint only inside it.

• The infinite canvas

  No edges: move around, zoom and turn, flip the view, fit the painting, undo and redo.

• Export and time-lapse

  Save a picture of the painting, or a time-lapse of it being painted, and share it.

• Your paintings in iCloud Drive

  Paintings are files in Smudjo's folder in iCloud Drive, or on the device. Open, move and back them up from Files and Finder.

• Smudjo Unlocked

  One purchase for iPhone, iPad and Mac: what it adds, what stays free, restoring it, Family Sharing.
