Also fixed: saved photo pieces no longer reopen upside down. Pieces you already saved correct themselves. - 📦Forgeplot updated to version 1.3Now designed for iPhone Duo. Closed, Forgeplot works like it does on iPhone. Open it flat and you get the full studio: art on the left, controls on the right, with Apple Pencil (USB-C) support. Half-fold it and the art fills the top half while the controls sit below, so you can tweak sliders and watch the piece redraw live. Your piece, scroll position and open sheets stay put as you fold and unfold. Wallpaper export has two new exact-pixel targets, iPhone Duo (outer) and iPhone Duo (inner), recomposed for each screen rather than cropped.… more

- 📦Forgeplot version 1.2New: Keepsakes, a family of drawings made as gifts. Star Chart draws the sky over one of 20 cities, or any latitude and longitude, on a date and local hour you choose, with the stars, constellation lines and names. Moon Calendar draws a year or a month of moon phases, with the dark side hatched. Text Art sets your own words in single-stroke lettering on a line, circle, spiral or wave.
New generators: Weave, Swept Circles (up to twelve weaving tubes, each in its own pen if you like, in flat or turnable 3D), Recursive Cells (inside a page, circle or letter), Isometric City, Perspective Lawn, Perspective Blocks, Hex Mosaic, Tree Rings and Distance Grid. Circle Packing can now fill each circle with a spiral, and Voronoi accepts up to 4000 points.
Fractals: a new family of eight: Dragon Curve, Koch Snowflake, Sierpinski, Mandelbrot & Julia, Penrose Tiling, Barnsley Fern, Pythagoras Tree and Fractal Tree.
Math & Physics: seven generators built on classic mathematics: Ulam Spiral, Multiplication Grid, Apollonian Gasket, Newton Basins, Wormhole, Radiating Dipole and Hopf Fibration.
Legends: add a single-stroke title block to any piece, with the title, seed, your settings, an edition number and your signature. Put it in the margin, shrink the art to fit, or overlay it. Full page is still the default.
More colours: Colour By can split a drawing into as many colours as you have pens, up to nine, with a new Colours control. The Pens section shows which layer plots with which pen. There is a new Nine Inks pen set.
Also: controls that don't apply in the current mode are greyed out, with a line saying what to change. De Jong attractors can be drawn with dashes, the legend's text-size slider explains when the margin limits it, and long option lists now show as a menu. 60 generators in all.… more - 🆕Forgeplot released on the App Store

About Forgeplot
Now on Mac: one purchase covers iPad, iPhone and Mac.
Designed for iPhone Duo. Forgeplot adapts to every way you hold it: the closed outer screen, the open inner display, and half-folded with the art above the fold and the controls below. Pieces redraw live as you move the sliders, nothing resets when you fold or unfold, and wallpapers export at the exact pixel size of either Duo screen.
Make generative art that a pen plotter can actually draw.
Forgeplot turns simple sliders into intricate line art built for pen plotters. Pick a style, tune it by feel, and export a clean, ready-to-plot SVG — correctly sized for your machine, organised by pen, and optimised so the pen takes the shortest path. Not plotting today? The same piece exports as a crisp wallpaper at the exact size of your iPhone, iPad or Mac.
Everything is real single-stroke vector art, built that way from the ground up. No raster tracing, no import-export juggling, no code.
SIXTY GENERATORS, WITH MORE IN EVERY UPDATE
• Fields & flow — Flow Field, Topo Contours, Ridgelines, Warp Grid, Moiré
• Growth & organic — Differential Growth, Space Colonization, L-System Plant, Fractal Tree, Particle Trails, Flocking
• Packing & mesh — Circle Packing, Voronoi, Dot Field
• Tiling & symmetry — Truchet Tiles, Wave Collapse, Subdivision, Mandala, Maze
• Curves & lines — Harmonograph, Lissajous, Spirograph, Superformula, Space-Filling Curve
• From your photos — Hatched Photo, TSP Portrait, Stipple, Halftone, String Art, Low-Poly, Squiggle
• Simulations — Reaction–Diffusion, Cellular Automata, Strange Attractor
BUILT FOR REAL MACHINES
• Presets for AxiDraw (A4, Letter, A3, SE/A1, MiniKit) and iDraw, plus any custom size
• True physical sizing — a 210 mm piece measures 210 mm in Inkscape
• One layer per pen, in drawing order — plot one colour at a time and swap pens between layers
• Colour By: every generator can split its lines by what they mean — trunk and canopy, old and new growth, tile orientation, tone — so a two-pen plot says something
• Path optimisation that typically cuts pen-up travel by 90% or more
• Hidden-line removal and multi-pass for ink saturation
• Plot preview: watch the pen path and see time, ink and stroke count before you commit
ONE PIECE, EVERY SCREEN
• Export wallpapers at your device's exact resolution — iPhone, iPad, Mac, 4K, square
• Recompose regenerates the piece to fill a new shape instead of cropping it
• Ink-on-paper or inverted
YOURS, EXACTLY
• Every piece is saved as a recipe — generator, seed and settings — so it reproduces identically, at any size, forever
• A personal gallery on device; nothing is collected, nothing is tracked
Pen plotters connect to a computer over USB, so Forgeplot exports and hands off: AirDrop to your Mac or save to Files, then plot from Inkscape (with the AxiDraw extension) or saxi.
