UseIt is an AI design studio for things you can hold. Describe what you want in one sentence. UseIt asks what a designer would ask, designs it with you, and lets you refine any detail by pointing at it. You get a real, editable design file, not a flat image, ready to print, cut and fold, with real dimensions, bleed and dielines. Make pins, stickers, gift boxes, pop-up cards, brand kits and more. Use it in your browser, or call it up anywhere on your Windows desktop.
A small island where AI characters live on their own, day and night. Nobody plays them and nobody writes their lines. They get cold, remember yesterday, look for each other and want things their world doesn't have yet. When they find the words, they ask. Sometimes the world answers: fire, a lantern, a canoe for the open sea. Every request is public, in their own words. One of their days lasts 24 of our minutes. You can't talk to them, only watch.
Do you like Monet’s gardens or Van Gogh’s skies? Art4 is a Mac app that turns your desktop into a tiny museum. Browse classic artworks, read short stories about each piece, and set your favorites as sharp, perfectly sized wallpapers—one-time purchase, no subscription.
FRCTL is one engine for everything an artist ships and runs in the browser. Import your own footage or create generative shader scenes. Build a look, then pull cover art, a Spotify Canvas or a social clip. Run the loop live with direct full screen output. 190+ effects with infinite modulation and route audio into any parameter. Camera and canvas capture in live mode. Sell your presets or loops right in the Collective or post and comment on the member feed. Create, perform, monetize, collab.
Forkest turns your GitHub contribution calendar into a pixel-art garden. Each day is a plot: no commits leaves bare soil, 8+ puts it in bloom. The garden changes with the seasons, from spring flowers to winter snow. Connect GitHub and it grows as you code.
Draw rounded-pixel letterforms and shapes on an adjustable grid. Controls for spacing, corners and edges, plus free export. No signup, runs in browser.
Pan and zoom the whole world for free. Pay $1 and one duck becomes permanently happy, takes the name you give it, and gets an absurdly official Certificate of Duck Happiness as a PDF. Six ponds from $1 to $1,000, depending on how dramatic you want your duck. Works as a silly gift — name the duck, and the certificate goes to whoever you're gifting it to.
Plask turns your Apple Watch into a tiny aquatic theatre: pixel-art rubber ducks that dive when you do, your real depth on screen, and a duck or ten. With premium, you get sharks, the Loch Ness-monster, a castaway, surströmming, and more.
An animated pixel-art map of the solar system with every body at its real current position, computed from published orbital elements rather than copied from a list. Zoom from the Sun to the Kuiper belt, browse 171 catalogued objects with sourced facts, and see what the sky is doing for the next six months. Every rock is also for sale: claim an asteroid for $5, keep it forever, name it whatever you like. A name here is shown on AstraPixels only, and is not an IAU designation.
Most reference apps stop at collecting. ArtDeck helps you study what you save: value, color, composition and motion with onion skinning, right on the board. Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac, offline and synced through your iCloud. Buy once and no subscription.

Curated journeys move through movements: The Floating World (ukiyo-e), The Rinpa School, Kabuki Theater, Flowers Birds Stillness. iOS only. Built solo from Toronto.
The first Beta version of Bitgrain & Bitgrain Studio is here! Most design tools feel the same. This one doesn’t. Bitgrain started with dithering, but now it’s a full template-based editor where you can create textured, standout visuals in minutes. Less clutter than Figma. More freedom than Canva.
Lumen Tool is a free 3D portrait lighting simulator that runs entirely in your browser. Most alternatives are either expensive desktop software or outdated browser tools that cycle through pre-rendered photos. Lumen renders shadows in real time using Three.js, loads in under a second, and requires no install or account. It's a single HTML file under 1MB. Move a light, watch the shadows shift live. That's it.
FrameCube is a 3D art framing app that transforms your images into gallery-ready artworks. With real-time framing, customizable materials, and AR preview, you can visualize your artwork in realistic environments before presenting or printing. Perfect for artists, photographers, and designers.
Uni-1 is the new unified image model from Luma for generation and editing. It reasons through prompts, follows references closely, and handles style, text, memes, and manga unusually well, so outputs feel less generic and more usable for real creative work.
Unlike star maps or custom prints, every piece is mathematically impossible to replicate. Your art isn't just tied to a date - it's generated from Date + Exact Timestamp = unique DNA. Two people with the same date get completely different art. Even you can't recreate it twice. Includes: Living generation video, infinite-resolution files, choreographed digital gifting with "Vault Key" reveal. Instant delivery. True scarcity. Perfect for last-minute Valentine's gifts that feel irreplaceable.
Vincent keeps the chrome minimal so the canvas stays front and center. The layout is clean, modern, and intentionally small so your focus stays on the drawing, not the controls.
