Qalma for iPhone

An Offline Drawing App for Quiet Daily Practice

Qalma works without an internet connection. Your canvas, the day's quote, and every day you have saved live on your iPhone, so you can draw on a plane, on a trail, or anywhere the signal drops.

Made to work anywhere

A drawing practice should not depend on a good connection. Qalma runs entirely on your device, so it opens the same whether you are online or completely off the grid. There is no loading spinner waiting for a server and no feature that quietly stops working when the WiFi does.

No profile, no feed, no sync required

Because Qalma is not built on an online account, there is nothing to log into and nothing to sync. You are not maintaining a profile or feeding a timeline. The app is just you and the page, which is exactly what makes it easy to return to.

Your days are saved on the device

Each day keeps its own canvas, stored locally. Move back and forth between days and each one returns exactly as you left it, your saved marks even replay as the day opens. Nothing needs the cloud to come back.

Quiet by design

Offline also means undistracted. No feed to refresh, no messages arriving mid-thought. Qalma pairs the canvas with one quote a day and a short reflection, and an optional daily reminder if you want a gentle nudge. Everything else stays out of the way.

Questions

Does Qalma need an internet connection?

No. Qalma runs fully on your device and works offline. You can draw and read the daily quote with no connection.

Where are my drawings stored?

On your iPhone. Each day is saved locally and reloads when you return to it. The App Store listing states no data is collected.

Do I need to sign in?

No. There is no account and nothing to log into.
