A focused manga drawing app for Mac & iPad. Panels, screentones, inking, print-ready export — free to create.
Coming soon to the App StoreMangaLoft is a from-the-ground-up drawing app built around how manga is actually made — a frame system for laying out panels, screentone families (集中線 / 流線 and more), pressure-aware inking brushes, and layers. Drawing and screen-quality export are always free. When you're ready for the printer, print-quality export unlocks the full page with bleed and registration marks.
Split, merge, and resize panels with a cadence built for manga layouts.
Tone families with editable regions — dots, gradients, speed lines, focus lines.
Pressure-aware brushes with taper, stabilization, and custom brush libraries.
A layer panel made for daily use, with folder groups.
Bleed and registration marks (tombo) at 350 / 600 dpi, PDF or PNG.
Draw with Apple Pencil on iPad, or on Mac with Sidecar.
Creating manga in MangaLoft is free — drawing, all the tools, and screen-quality export, always.
Print-quality export (full bleed + registration marks, 350 / 600 dpi) is a subscription that supports an independent developer:
$2.99 / month · $19.99 / year
