DabDab - Flowing art at your touch
# Two drops, infinite ripples.
In 1886, Georges Seurat completed a masterpiece built entirely from millions of tiny colour dabs. The Impressionists called this technique pointillism: one dab births a point of light; two dabs set that light in motion.
Now imagine those dabs falling onto still water instead of canvas. Each touch sends ripples of colour flowing outward — expanding, colliding, merging into patterns no one could have predicted.
That's DabDab. A century-old artistic spirit, reimagined for your fingertips.
# The Story Behind the Name
"Dab... Dab..."
A dab is the brushstroke of the Impressionists — a single touch that captures light. Repeat it — DabDab — and light begins to flow. Each tap on your screen sends colour rippling outward, swirling and merging with the ones before it.
Two drops. That's all it takes.
# Not a Drawing Tool. A Conversation.
Touch the screen and watch flowing liquid colour react to your gestures in real-time. Move slowly for gentle ripples, swipe quickly for dramatic splashes. You set the rhythm; the fluid answers. Every moment is improvised; every creation is unrepeatable.
# Perfect For:
• Creating mesmerising fluid animations — record and share as videos
• Sharing stunning visual moments on social media
• Finding a moment of calm and mindfulness
• Exploring colour through curated themes inspired by nature
• Playing with physics to discover your own style of flow
# Features
## Real-Time Fluid Simulation
GPU-accelerated physics renders flowing liquid colour at 120 fps. Every touch produces a natural, responsive fluid reaction.
## Curated Colour Themes
Handcrafted themes, each with a unique visual character and mood — from deep ocean glow to cherry blossom softness. More themes coming soon.
## Video Recording & Screenshots
Capture your fluid creations, save to your library, and share directly via the built-in share menu. Send to social media, AirDrop, or any other app in one step.
## Attract Mode
Sit back and watch the fluid dance on its own, driven by graceful mathematical curves. Choose how long the app waits before it takes over.

What's New in Version 1.1
More colour. More room to create.
# More Free Themes
Three themes are now free — Deep Ocean, Sakura Blossom, and Nebula. Whether you prefer the quiet glow of the deep, the softness of cherry blossoms, or the warmth of a cosmic nebula, there's a canvas waiting for you before you ever subscribe.
# Four New Premium Themes
The collection grows. Aquamarine, Lake Hillier, Emerald, and Laguna Colorada are now available — each one inspired by some of the most visually striking bodies of water on earth. Unlock them all with a Premium subscription.
# Recording Countdown
No more sudden stops. As your recording approaches its limit, the timer shifts to a live countdown — giving you a moment to wrap up gracefully rather than getting cut off mid-flow.
As always, thank you for creating with DabDab. If the app has brought you a quiet moment or a beautiful accident worth keeping, a kind review on the App Store means more than you know.
