Chalkwork
A real chalkboard in your hand
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Chalkwork is a chalkboard that behaves like one. Draw with your finger or Apple Pencil and the chalk goes on dry and grainy, builds up where you go over it, and smears when you rub it out. Wipe the board and a faint ghost of what was there stays behind until you clean it. Dust drifts to the ledge. Press hard, press lightly, let a stick wear down: it all shows.
Use it for lessons, menus, chore charts, a kitchen wall, a sign at the door, game night, or just to draw.
FREE
One board that stays between launches, as big as you like (pan and zoom with two fingers), five chalks, three widths, the eraser, undo, and sharing a picture of your board.

CHALKWORK CLASSROOM ($4.99, once)
For teachers who only want the teaching tools: ready-made starter lessons, Present and Reveal in Steps (with the projector and a laser pointer), PDF worksheets to chalk on, and narrated replays.
WORKS WITH GOOGLE CLASSROOM
Share a board as a picture, a PDF page or a replay video and attach it wherever you hand out work, including Google Classroom and Google Drive. Bring in a PDF worksheet from Files, Drive included, and chalk over it. Chalkwork never signs in to Google and never sees your students' names.
