Direct manipulation of static images on the Mac platform
Bitmap images are still, even in 2026, a hugely important medium of communication. Which is why I made Mojave Paint – a Mac-based image editor that lets you really own the production of these bitmap images. They've been making image editors since the original Mac and the Amiga and I'm sure even long before that. But somehow the choices in the modern era fall short. So I have a new option, presented by an upstart software shop in Seattle. If you're looking for AI features, look elsewhere.
I get a little depressed when I see Reddit threads of people asking for AI tools to make screenshots for their iOS app. Just make them yourself! You're not a great designer, so what? Ugly is better than AI-loooking. And Mojave Paint is just one of many tools you can use to make graphical assets. I'm not saying it's better than other options, but it's an option, and a pretty darn good one if you're on an Apple Silicon Mac.
