Description
Zellige App: Create stunning mosaic designs inspired by Moroccan art.
The Zellige App is a vector-based graphics design software for macOS that lets you explore, create, and export beautiful mosaic patterns. Whether you are an artist, a designer, a student, or a hobbyist, you will love the Zellige App.
With the Zellige App, you can:
• Choose from over 1000 different shapes that are carefully selected to recreate traditional Moroccan patterns and to invent new combinations.
• Customize your designs with a variety of colors, styles, and patterns.
• Export your designs in SVG, PNG, and JPEG formats. You can also export your designs as 3D files in COLLADA DAE, Wavefront OBJ, Stereolithography STL, and SceneKit SCN formats.
• Learn about the history and mathematics of Zellige tiles and Moroccan art. You can also access examples to help you get started.
The Zellige App supports features like Dark Mode, Quick Look, Touch Bar, Full-Screen, Tabs, Autosave, and Version Browsing.
It also works on both Apple Silicon and Intel processors.
With this app you will be able to create new mosaic designs and learn from traditional geometric examples.
Traditional Zellige mosaic designs are still created by cutting glazed ceramic tiles with a sharp hammer to shape and size.
Now you can create your own Zellige patterns from way over 1000 different shapes.
The shapes are carefully selected to recreate traditional moroccan patterns and to invent new combinations.
Create variations of your designs, by choosing new colors.
An ornament is created by joining multiple shapes edge to edge.
The shapes differ in their number of edges, their side lengths and in their angles.
No compass and ruler is needed using this software.
And your design will be precise with high accuracy.
Shapes can be grouped, copied and pasted.
Copying shapes does not reduce accuracy.
The Zellige App is a fun and easy way to unleash your creativity and discover a fascinating world of geometric art. Download it today from the macOS App Store and enjoy!

Please have a look at the Help and Examples menu.
There are also some videos on YouTube.
Please show me a sample image that shows which shapes are missing so I can add them in the next version.
Works great on Mojave, not so much with High Sierra
I installed Zellige on both my desktop and 8 year-old MacBook. At first, it worked reasonably well on the laptop with some annoying glitches (shapes not showing up on one session, only to work fine on the next). The past several times I’ve tried to use it on the laptop have proven to be useless. The program opens just fine, but all I’m getting is a blank screen, even when I select a starter shape.
I have Mojave installed on my desktop and have been using this app to make designs for the past week. If you’re new to Islamic geometric art, this app will take some getting used to as you have to memorize what shapes fit together in a seamless fashion. I’m getting the hang of it. Tip: Practice with the screenshots that are posted above to get a feel for how this program works. You’ll also find a couple of YouTube videos that will take you through the design process.
The only thing I find lacking is the ability to add a pattern on the shapes, once you have your tile finished. I like how you can export your design as a PNG or SVG to edit in Illustrator.
