From a gift to a community.

The SketchMate story, one doodle at a time.

  1. A birthday present

    It started as a gift for my girlfriend: a tiny app where the two of us could send each other doodles. Nobody else allowed.

  2. Bring a friend

    Friends wanted one too. So I opened it up: anyone could pair up with one person and draw together.

  3. Room for more

    Two felt cozy, but why stop there? One canvas became a room where a whole group could scribble.

  4. Meanwhile, I went travelling

    I packed a bag and went to see the world. Every time I checked my phone, more people I'd never met were drawing together.

  5. Hello, community

    So I kept building: real-time drawing, posting, weekly themes and much more. Now it's not my app anymore. It's ours.

The next chapter is yours

Come draw with us, and tell me what we should build next.
