BlaezSketch is an iPad-only digital sketchbook built for Apple Pencil. Sketches live in private on-device notebooks with no account and no cloud sync of your drawings.

Does BlaezSketch require Apple Pencil?

Yes. Only Apple Pencil draws on the canvas. Fingers are reserved for navigation, panning, pinch-to-zoom, and moving UI elements — so a resting palm does not leave accidental marks.

Is BlaezSketch a subscription?

No. BlaezSketch is a one-time purchase on the App Store with no subscription and no recurring billing.

Is my artwork private?

Yes. Notebooks, pages, and strokes stay on your iPad — there is no account or cloud sync of your sketchbooks. Optional per-notebook passwords are salted and hashed on-device. Your drawings leave the app only when you export or share. The app may send anonymous crash reports and analytics that do not identify you and do not include your artwork.

Who it’s for

A sketchbook that respects the habit — and the privacy.

Built for artists who want to draw daily, look back on progress, and keep sensitive work locked on the device.

Daily drawing habit

Every page records when it was made. Flipping a notebook becomes a visual timeline of how far you’ve come.

Private by default

Life drawing, personal journals, and concept work stay on your iPad — with optional passwords that re-authenticate every open.

Thumbnails & studies

Fast, low-friction sketching that still hands off cleanly via layered PSD to Photoshop, Procreate, or Affinity.

Notebooks, not files

A sketchbook you can hold in your hands — digitally.

Unlimited notebooks with a name, optional label, colour (or custom), and cover image. Tap one and you land on the last page you were viewing — no project maze in between.

Secure notebooks

Password protection that means it.

Lock any notebook with a password and optional hint. Choose Face ID / Touch ID / device passcode as recovery — or password only, with a clear warning that a lost password cannot be recovered. Every visit asks again; nothing stays unlocked for the session.

Canvas & brushes

Pencil draws. Fingers navigate.

Three fixed layers — Background, Midtones, Line Art — with visibility, opacity, and blend modes. A categorized brush library (pens, pencils, ink & paint, textured, erasers) with pressure, tilt, and per-brush stroke stabilization. Procreate-style colour picker with swatches and hex.

Perspective grid

Vanishing points you can drag.

1-, 2-, and 3-point perspective grids with draggable vanishing points. Set up a scene in seconds, then draw over the guides instead of constructing them by hand.

Shape assist

Block in proportions, then draw freely.

Drag out rectangles, ellipses, polygons, and more as clean vector-quality geometry on the active layer — a fast scaffold before freehand detail.

Select & transform

Lasso, move, flip — or duplicate in place.

Lasso cuts cleanly at the edge so part of a stroke can lift while the rest stays. Move, scale, rotate, or flip with on-canvas handles. Duplicate keeps the original exactly where it was.

Reference images & text

Float a photo. Label the page. Keep drawing.

Import a photo as a draggable, resizable reference above the drawing layers — it never exports with the page. Add text boxes with font, size, colour, fill, and border; sketch straight through labels without them getting in the way.

Export

Hand off without rebuilding layers.

Export per page from the canvas share action.

Layered PSD

Every visible layer exports as a named, correctly blended layer with its own opacity — ready for Photoshop, Procreate, Affinity, and similar apps.

Flattened PNG

A single-image export of the page as drawn — for sharing, posting, or quick handoff.

Your drawings stay on the iPad.

No account, no login, and no cloud sync of your sketchbooks. Your drawings stay on the iPad unless you export or share them. Crash reports and analytics may be used to keep the app healthy — anonymous and non-identifying, never including your artwork. Passwords are salted and hashed on-device. Read the BlaezSketch Privacy Policy and Terms.
