A native macOS animation sketchbook for hand-drawn motion. Designed for learners, indie creators, and anyone who wants to draw frame-by-frame on a real keyboard with a real timeline.
Eraser, pencil, four texture brushes, fountain pen, fill — plus rectangle, ellipse, line, and arrow shape tools with floating-shape editing (move, resize, copy/paste before commit).
Frame strip with semantic zoom (S/M/L), keyframe markers, jump-to field, and frame range navigation. Pose-to-pose six-step workflow built in.
Three onion-skin modes for previous frames, next frames, or both — see the motion before you commit the next drawing.
Two drawing layers per frame (Middle + Foreground) plus an optional shared Background. Per-layer visibility toggle for distraction-free work.
Pinned and Recent sections, search, sort, focus mode for zen drawing. Project library lives inside the app's sandbox so your work survives between sessions.
Export your animation as MOV, MP4, GIF, or AVI. Pick resolution and FPS at export time. Your project file (.ad2) stays editable.
Framevia Studio is built by Joy Truepath Pte. Ltd. in Singapore. The app is a single signed binary — no analytics, no telemetry, no third-party SDKs. Everything you draw stays on your Mac.
