Graintouch is a drawing app with the soul of print. Inspired by Risograph™ aesthetics, it lets you layer, blend, and create with the warmth of real ink—right on your screen.
BOOL BRUSH
A bold, organic vector brush that stacks colors like ink on paper. Blend, overlap, knockout and build rich textures with effortless strokes.
PRINT SIMULATION
See your artwork as if it just rolled off a risograph. Offset imperfections, layered tints, and the charm of real ink—without the mess.
MINIMAL UI
Nothing in your way, just pure drawing. A clean, focused space where tools feel like an extension of your hand.
COLORFUL CONSTRAINTS
A playful palette of 18 handpicked inks, straight from the riso universe. Instead of endless choice, you get meaningful constraints that spark creativity—just like mixing real inks on a print run.
VECTOR STENCILS
Every Layer becomes a crisp, resolution-independent stencil. Your drawings export as clean vector stencils, perfect for scaling, separating by color, and bringing straight to print—no loss, just pure shapes.
This is not trying to be a catch all app, if you love experimenting and like a riso type drawing tool, this is it. It’s hard to do production work on it as it’s not built for that but if you’re diligent and give it time you could use it in conjunction with another app to fish the work. For the price it’s worth every penny and the effort the developer has put into brining this to life.
Cool Concept, Poor Execution, Feels Like No QA Was Done

This app is a cool idea but after using it for over 12 hours (over 10+ sessions) I am just left disappointed. I’ve encountered numerous bugs and UI/UX issues. Most notable has to be the bug where my layers just move when I reopen a project. In many cases ruining my drawing because a layer in my project from last night just moved a few inches in one direction when I open it again the next day to keep working on it.The minimalist UI is a fun concept but in practice it just feels like no actual QA happened, or at the very least no external testing by people who didnt design the app interface. It looks very clean and does have some intuitive design but half the time it just feels too gimmicky, and I am left holding multiple nodes with 3 fingers or 2 hands so I can do a specific function, breaking me out of the flow of actually working on my piece. In other cases I am left trying to find out how to do a basic function and what points of the screen I need to touch and hold and drag to copy a layer. Oh and I can’t forget the frustrating fact that the default mode for transform is shape, not gradient. So half the time I start pinching to adjust a gradient texture and it just transforms the position and size of the layer, without any ability to undo. So I have to manually move it back.Overall I feel like the app just gives off the vibe of a snappy modern app that looks good on the surface, but actually sucks to use. Resulting in so many little hoops to jump through or work around that I start to question why I am even using it. Classic case of the look and design of the app coming before the actual usability and user friendly functionality. Im sure from the designers perspective it feels super initiative and minimalist so they didnt bother with QA because it feels great in their bubble. But any outsider opening and seeing the app for the first time is just going to be burdened with an experience that wants to be sleek looking more than it wants you to enjoy using the app. It is basically just a toy.
Love!!

I absolutely adored Looom and IORAMA projects as a whole, and this absolutely has the same charming limitations with a deceptive amount of depth. It's such a unique approach to art, and feels sooo refreshing to explore with when in a creative rut. Keep up the amazing work ❤️
