Field notes
The project is distributed as a small native Mac application rather than a browser-only workspace, with the homepage emphasizing local files and offline use. The listed build is v0.1.42, weighs 3 MB, targets macOS 14 or later, and reports 235 passing tests. Its historical framing is unusually specific: it treats Macromedia Fireworks and early Sketch as reference points for combining bitmap editing, vector drawing, and a file-based workflow.
