The idea
Most brushes only lay down the pixels under your cursor. Nekudot also gives your drawing a memory - it remembers everywhere you've drawn. While you draw, a connecting brush reaches out to nearby remembered spots and draws faint lines between them. Hundreds of those overlapping threads build the soft, sketchy, spider-web texture that Harmony made famous.
Because that memory is shared and sticks around, your marks relate to each other: new strokes reach back toward old ones, and the drawing grows as one connected thing rather than a stack of separate lines.
Features
- Connecting brushes - Web weaves threads between your points; pick a connection style for the look.
- Connections - styles like Classic, Web, Fur & Lace; tune where the lines go and how they look (alpha, inset, dash, grain…).
- Symmetry - repeat any brush across a Tile lattice, a Radial kaleidoscope, or a single Mirror line.
- Pen & pressure - a stylus shapes every mark: pressure and tilt drive size, opacity, even the web; the Marker's chisel follows the pen's lean.
- Shape brush - Shapes stamps speed-sized squares or circles (pick which in its settings).
- Colour palettes - pick from palettes grouped by category, mix in OKLCH/HSB, and import or export GIMP
.gplfiles. - Layers - stack canvases with opacity; drag to reorder, duplicate & delete.
- Memory maps - what your drawing remembers; feed or reuse them across layers.
- Save & load - export a flat PNG, or a
.nekudotarchive you can reopen and keep editing. - Save to a folder (Chrome/Edge) - connect a folder and save artwork & settings straight to disk; point it at a synced folder for your own cloud backup.
- Record GIF - capture a few seconds of drawing, then preview it, change the speed and trim the ends before saving the
.gif. - Install & full screen - add it to your home screen and fill the display for an app-like canvas, especially on iPad.
- Runs entirely in the browser - your work is stored locally; nothing is uploaded.
