Uglytude

The only goal is to pick up a pen and draw something ugly then take a photo and share it

Uglytude is a minimalist drawing focus app. Slide to start. Slide back to end. No judgment. No comparison. Just one rep after another. Auto timer — focus begins the moment you start Random reference images — no more deciding what to draw Take a photo when you're done Today's and all-time stats at a glance Share your progress to social media with one tap Uglytude isn't about drawing better. It's about showing up, again and again, and finishing each rep — even when it's ugly. Your only goal is to draw something ugly. Uglytude started as a prototype shared on Xiaohongshu. The journey from that early test version to what you see today on the App Store would not have been possible without the OG supporters who were there from the very beginning. As an indie developer, the most magical moment was realizing I wasn't building this alone — I was building it side by side with all of you. Every bug you caught on different iPhones, iPads, and OS versions, every freeze you reported, every broken share card — these were blind spots I could never have found on my own. You paid to try a prototype that wasn't even finished yet. In my heart, you were never just testers — you were co-creators of Uglytude. I'll never forget scrolling through your feedback late at night — your suggestions, your wild ideas. Some have already become features. Others are on the way. Fixing bugs fueled by your messages became my morning alarm clock. It was a kind of pure joy I had never felt before.
