Pattern drawing app: Create beautiful designs with pendulums, cogs, and gravity
Pattern Sketch is a unique pattern drawing app that provides a relaxing way to make beautiful patterns. Watch physics and nature draw for you, then change the settings, save your favourites and share them.
Choose a way to draw:
• Pendulum – swinging pendulums trace flowing, looping curves.
• Paint can – a swinging can draws patterns as it moves.
• Cog curves – turning cogs and gears draw intricate spirograph-style shapes.
• Gravity wells – place bodies and wells, give them a push, and see the orbits they draw.
• Rosette – circles drawn one after another turn into a rosette.
• Bounce – place a ball inside a shape, throw it, and watch its path build a pattern.
• Chladni plates – sand on a vibrating plate settles into lines, with a sound you can hear.
• Wave interference – rings spread out from sources you place, and where they cross they weave a pattern.
• Web builder – watch a spider spin a round web.
• Snowflake builder – grow your own snowflake.
• Sunflower seeds – grow a sunflower head and watch the seeds spiral.
• Creative creations – combine the pattern categories to take your creativity to a new level.
Simple or Advanced
Simple gives you a few easy controls and ready-made examples. Advanced adds many more controls to explore. You can switch between them from the Home screen at any time.
What you can do
• Try ready-made preset examples in every category, or make your own.
• Save your patterns and come back to them later.
• Save a picture, record a video, or share your pattern with anyone.
• Set a pattern as your phone wallpaper.
• Turn on sound, calm sound or vibration, or switch them off.
• Colour-blind-safe colours, larger text and reduced motion are in Settings.
Fine control
In Advanced mode you can zoom in, use a snap-to grid to place things exactly, and fine-tune starting positions and speeds. Tiny changes at the start can lead to very different patterns, which makes experimenting part of the fun.
Features
• Twelve different ways to draw
• Simple and Advanced modes
• Step-by-step tutorials
• Presets to explore and adapt
• Pinch to zoom and a grid for precise placement
