About Aether - UI Design for iPad
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.
