Metaspace for iPad and iPhone

Your sketchbook,
in three dimensions.

Draw ideas directly in space with Apple Pencil. Move around every stroke, build depth naturally, and turn rough thoughts into scenes you can explore.

A new kind of canvas

Think in the dimensions your ideas actually occupy.

Metaspace removes the distance between imagining a spatial idea and seeing it from every side. Sketch quickly, change your viewpoint, and keep building - without ever opening a CAD app. When the idea is ready, it can leave the screen entirely and stand in the space it was made for.

Spatial drawing

Sketch in 3D.
Stay in the flow.

Draw on a clear plane inside three-dimensional space. Move closer, step back, or orbit around your work while every stroke stays exactly where you placed it.

Natural from the first mark.

Familiar drawing tools, responsive input, and simple gestures keep the interface out of the way. Use touch to navigate and Apple Pencil to create with precision.

Layers and viewpoints

Build freely.
Never lose your place.

Separate ideas into layers and save important camera positions as viewpoints. Complex sketches remain easy to understand, revisit, and present.

Augmented reality

Step inside the idea.

Bring a drawing into the world around you and review it at human scale, a digital layer set into physical space. Seen where it will actually stand, an idea reveals its true proportions and presence. Share complete projects so the spatial thinking continues across devices.

More than meets the eye

Everything you need to keep ideas moving.

  • Infinite spatial canvas

    Start with one mark and continue building outward without being constrained by a page edge.

  • Drawing tools

    Move from precise lines to expressive marks with pens, pencils, brushes, shapes, rulers, and adjustable widths.

  • Portable projects

    Package scenes, layers, metadata, and previews into a shareable .mtspz project.

  • Fast exploration

    Move between viewpoints, isolate layers, and review a scene from multiple angles without rebuilding it.

Made for spatial thinkers

From the first loose sketch to an immersive review.

“A little bit tricky to use, but quite powerful. Pretty much the only useable option for quick 3D sketching on iOS.”
Useful tool · Canadian App Store
“This is a really good app so far and it has the potential to be very big too.”
Love it · Australian App Store
“The drawing here feels explorative.”
At last an alternative of mental canvas · UK App Store
