MandelKit

Explore fractals in real time, dive into extreme detail, shape illuminated 3D reliefs, tune color and effects, save complete regions, and export high-resolution artwork.

MandelKit is a precision fractal explorer for Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Navigate Mandelbrot and Julia structures fluidly, travel into deep zooms, and turn mathematical detail into expressive images.

Explore more formulas

• Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship, Multibrot, Multijulia, and Multicorn
• Stable pointer- and touch-anchored navigation
• High-precision coordinates and deep-zoom reference orbits

Create your own look

• Built-in and custom gradients
• Procedural color sources and coordinated style presets
• Contours, orbit stripes, traps, field lines, distance effects, boundary glow, curvature, interference, and more
• Configurable supersampling and detail-preserving filters

Sculpt in 3D

• Convert fractal measurements into an illuminated height field
• Orbit the relief camera independently from fractal navigation
• Adjust height, smoothing, material, light direction, and horizon
• Adaptive visible-area rendering keeps interaction responsive

Save and export

• Save exact regions with their coordinates, colors, effects, lighting, and 3D camera
• Keep private regions in sync through iCloud
• Publish a separate public copy only when you explicitly choose to
• Export the visible composition as PNG, JPEG, or TIFF up to 8K or a custom size

MandelKit includes a complete in-app manual and an interface tailored to each Apple platform.
