"Minimalistic and functional" Posted 2025-09-19
Pros: It's easy to use and supports multiple file formats. I used it to draw a favicon for my website and I did not want to use GIMP for such a simple task.
Cons: Some menus are open only while you hold a mouse button which is unusual.
Overall: I liked it. A tiny tool for drawing icons, not overburdened with functions you will never use. Simple & stupid.
