Aether - UI Design for iPad

The design tool Figma should have built for iPad. Sketch, edit, prototype and animate with Apple Pencil - no Mac in the loop.

Aether is a full design tool built from the ground up for iPad.

Open your Figma files and actually edit them - pixel-accurate, fluid, fully interactive. Then sketch, prototype and animate right there, without ever opening a Mac.

SKETCH TO DESIGN

• Draw a rough screen with Apple Pencil
• Aether turns it into real, editable layers — not a flat image
• Go from idea to working screen in seconds

PROTOTYPE

• Link screens and add interactions
• Test it on the device in your hands
• No export step, no second app, no handoff

MOTION (beta)

• Animate transitions and micro-interactions
• Runs at full frame rate on device

YOUR FIGMA FILES

• Open and browse your own design files on iPad
• Bring across libraries, components and icons
• Your files, your credentials - your data stays yours

DESIGNED FOR iPad

• An interface rebuilt for touch - not a desktop app stretched to fit
• Gestures, panels and controls tuned for the iPad screen
• A focused workspace that gets out of your way

THE MAGICAL PILL

• A floating control that puts your most-used actions one tap away
• Move between tools without hunting through menus
• Keeps your hands on the canvas and your focus on the work

APPLE PENCIL

• Precise, low-latency input
• Point, select and navigate with pinpoint accuracy
• A direct, natural way to work the canvas

NATIVE CANVAS

• Text, vectors and shapes rendered natively - sharp at every zoom level
• Fluid pan and zoom across large, multi-page documents
• Glass and material effects with real backdrop blur
• Drop shadows, inner shadows, layer blur, blend modes and opacity
• Linear, radial and angular gradients
• Vector paths, boolean operations and precise masking
• Rich typography with real fonts - weights, kerning and effects

Built by an HCI researcher and former Google UX researcher who spent years studying how designers actually work.
