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 a pen tablet or Sidecar.
MangaLoft is in open beta for Mac and iPad — free to use while the beta runs, with every tool unlocked.
Join the beta →When it reaches the App Store, creating manga stays free — drawing, all the tools, and screen-quality export. Print-quality export (full bleed and registration marks, 350 / 600 dpi) will be a subscription that supports an independent developer. Pricing will be announced at launch.
Artists publish episodes to the MangaLoft library — a growing gallery of work made with the app.
