Sketchbook

Purpose: Sketchbook is a drawing app for creating anything from quick sketches to finished artwork.
Brushes: The app includes customizable pencils, markers, airbrushes, paint, smear brushes, and other brush types.
Drawing tools: It includes rulers, French curves, Predictive Stroke, and vertical, horizontal, and radial symmetry tools.
Layers and color: Sketchbook supports layers, blend modes, color fill, and linear and radial gradients.
Stylus input: Sketchbook represents stylus pressure and tilt in strokes.
File compatibility: Sketchbook imports and exports PSD files across Android, iOS, Mac, and Windows, preserving layers, groups, names, and most blend modes.
PSD limits: PSD export rasterizes text layers, changes Sketchbook-specific Glow and Alpha Mask blend modes to Normal, and may change the background layer color to white.
Premium Bundle: The mobile Premium Bundle unlocks advanced brush creation, color management, layer management, and export options.
Integrations: The help page documents importing and exporting PSD files and exporting sketches to other apps or to device and cloud locations configured in the Files app.
Downloads: The help center lists the Microsoft Store, Mac App Store, Apple App Store, and Google Play as download sources.
System requirements: The listed desktop requirements include Windows 10 or 11 and macOS 12 or later; Android requires Android 9 or later.
Enterprise licensing: Direct licenses are cross-platform between Windows and macOS, are node-locked to a device, and can be deactivated and reactivated on another device.
Support: The company lists [email protected] for product support inquiries on its App Store listing.
Privacy: Sketchbook's privacy policy says Sketchbook Inc. is the data controller for personal data provided through its services and says it does not sell customers' personal information.
