Ready for your Mac. • On a Mac, click the trackpad with two fingers for Undo and Redo. On a touch screen, tap with two fingers to undo and three to redo. • The app now opens straight from App Store events. As always: no accounts, no ads, and your drawings stay on your device.

Small things, done with care. • Tap with two fingers to undo and three to redo. • Restore purchases now tells you what it found, and the store explains when it can't reach the App Store, with a way to try again. • Light inks are easier to see on the tool bar, and labels follow your text size. • Better VoiceOver support throughout, with gentle haptics on iPhone. As always: no accounts, no ads, and your drawings stay on your device.

Made for iPhone Duo. • Stand it like a small laptop: draw on the half on the table and watch your whole drawing come to life above, line by line, with every tool in reach. • Hold it like a book: your tools and drawing on one page, the sheet on the other. • Open it flat for a bigger page, in either orientation. As always: no accounts, no ads, and your drawings stay on your device.

Three new watercolor collections. • Sea & Shore, Sky & Night and Seasons: ten new watercolors each, to find a fish in a wave, a moon in a wash or a fox in the ferns. • Each collection is a one-time purchase. No subscription, nothing to renew. • The ten original watercolors stay free, as always. • Your collection now groups the free watercolors and each collection you own. As always: no accounts, no ads, and your drawings stay on your device.

Additional fixes and improvements

Color Before the Lines is now on iPhone. • Now on iPhone — the same quiet pages, laid out for a smaller screen. Draw with your finger, no Pencil needed. • A gentler welcome — the opening artwork draws itself, line by line, and the welcome screen is better balanced on iPad. • Easier to read — Enhanced readability brings larger, darker text and clear edges around every page in your collection. • Calmer motion — Reduce Motion now also stops screens and sheets from sliding in. • Apple Pencil double-tap now follows your system setting. • A steadier timelapse — pencil grain no longer shimmers, and the video always ends on your finished drawing. • Many small fixes for a smoother, more dependable canvas. As always: no accounts, no ads, and your drawings stay on your device.

A refreshed opening animation adds a gentle touch of motion when you launch the app.

A calmer, warmer redesign — soft paper tones, expressive type, and tools that feel like little drawn objects. New: share a timelapse of your drawing, from the first mark to the last. Plus a cleaner canvas, six neutral inks, a focus mode, and an undoable reset.

Color Before the Lines now runs on more iPads — iPadOS 18 and later.
