Pocket Easel is a color-study tool for painting on the go. Built around gamut masking — a color theory used by traditional painters — it helps you capture harmonious color quickly, right from your phone. Gamut Mask Color Picker Choose from preset mask shapes on the color wheel to constrain your palette. Every color you pick stays in harmony with the rest, without needing color theory expertise. Joystick Color Adjustment Drag or long-press the current color swatch to bring up a joystick for fine color control. Adjust hue and saturation with your thumb, designed for one-handed use while holding your phone. Canvas Zoom & Pan Pinch to zoom in on details, pan to reposition, and reset with one tap. Shape Tools Draw lines, circles, and rectangles with precise geometry alongside your freehand brush and fill tools. Color-Process Time-Lapse Export a time-lapse of your painting session that shows not just your strokes, but where each color came from on the gamut wheel. Landscape Mode for Two-Handed Painting Rotate your phone and the toolbar and color dock move to either side, so both thumbs stay free to paint and pick color. Pocket Easel is built for quick color studies, not detailed illustration — the constraint is the point. All painting tools are free, including watermarked export. A one-time purchase unlocks high-resolution export and time-lapse video.
