ManimStudio renders mathematical animations on iPhone and iPad using manim, the open-source animation engine behind 3Blue1Brown's videos. Type a Scene class, tap Render, and watch the math come to life as a video — entirely on-device, no signup, no cloud.
Built for math educators, content creators, and students who want to visualize mathematics without leaving their iPhone or iPad. ManimStudio bundles everything manim needs — there is nothing to install or configure.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Author Scene classes that produce animated videos using manim's full mobject API: Text, MathTex, Circle, Square, Arrow, Graph, NumberPlane, Transform, FadeIn, Write, Create.
• Render at multiple qualities (480p, 720p, 1080p, 4K) with hardware video encoding via Apple VideoToolbox.
• Compose mathematical formulas with LaTeX-backed Tex and MathTex mobjects — the LaTeX engine is bundled, no internet needed.
• Auto-detect every Scene class in your file with the built-in scene picker.
• Preview the rendered video the moment manim finishes — saved as MP4 to the Files app or shared to Photos, AirDrop, Mail.
WHAT'S BUNDLED
manim, numpy, scipy, sympy, matplotlib, plotly, PyAV, Cairo, and a full LaTeX engine.
ManimStudio works entirely offline. No account, no telemetry, no internet required.
Ratings & Reviews

Renders keep going when you leave
On iOS and iPadOS 26, a render keeps running after you switch apps, with its progress in a Live Activity. If iOS needs that time back, the render pauses instead of stopping and carries on when you return.
Save anywhere, at any size
When a render finishes, the save sheet is waiting, even if it finished while you were in another app. Save to Files takes every format at any size, 12K included; Save to Photos is there for videos and images.
Know what happened
A notification tells you when a render is done, needs the app, or was paused. If iOS closes ManimStudio mid-render, the terminal says so when you reopen it.
8K, 12K and 14K
The quality list now goes up to 14K. 8K renders even on devices whose H.264 encoder stops at 4K, by switching to HEVC.
Encoding controls
Choose the encoder and how many frames may wait for it, for Preview and Render alike. The panel shows what this device's hardware can encode at the size you picked.
Stop really stops
Stop now answers within moments, even during slow setup before the first frame.
Present any render
Presentation mode opens a library of every earlier render, each labelled with its resolution, codec, frame rate and length.
A key row for touch typing
Extra keys above the on-screen keyboard: esc, ctrl, tab, arrows and symbols in the terminal; indent, brackets, undo and completion in the editor.
A more capable terminal
Every command in help works or explains why it can't. Run JavaScript with js and node, compile plain TeX, and open what pdflatex, md and nb produce. requests makes HTTPS calls and scikit-learn imports.
