Problem
Designers and marketers often need to create precise vector illustrations, logos, and animated brand assets quickly, but existing tools are fragmented across desktop and mobile, require complex workflows, and lack seamless synchronization on Apple devices.
Solution
Linearity provides a native Apple‑focused suite consisting of Curve, a vector illustration app, and Move, an animation tool. Both apps run on iPad, Mac, and iPhone and sync in real time, allowing creators to work anywhere without switching devices. Curve offers pen, brush, shape‑builder, node, and auto‑trace tools that convert raster sketches into editable vectors, while Move adds auto‑animate and timeline features to bring designs to life. A built‑in library of 4,000+ templates, custom fonts, and brand kits accelerates production of social media graphics, ads, and branding assets. Integrated cloud storage and Figma/Illustrator plugins enable easy import/export and collaboration across teams. The platform is offered under a free tier with core features and paid plans that unlock unlimited files, exports, and premium support.
