Lorien is an [[MIT License]] licensed drawing/note-taking app written in [[GDScript]]. - [Source](https://github.com/mbrlabs/Lorien) - Documentation - AlternativeTo > Lorien is an **infinite canvas drawing/note-taking app that is focused on performance, small savefiles and simplicity**. # Notability Just a neat little tool. Might also be interesting to reference its internals. # Philosophy > It's not based on bitmap images like Krita, Gimp or Photoshop; it rather saves brush strokes as a collection of points and renders them at runtime (kind of like SVG). It's primarily designed to be used as a digital notebook and as brainstorming tool. While it can totally be used to make small sketches and diagrams, it is not meant to replace traditional art programs that operate on bitmap images. # OS Support - [[Linux]] - [[MacOS]] - [[Windows]] # Features - Infinite canvas - Infinite undo/redo - (Almost) Infinite zoom - Infinite grid - Distraction free mode (toggles the UI on/off) - Extremely small savefiles ([File format specs](https://github.com/mbrlabs/Lorien/blob/main/docs/file_format.md)) - Work on multiple documents simultaneously - [Tools](https://github.com/mbrlabs/Lorien/blob/main/docs/manuals/manual_v0.5.0.md): Freehand brush, eraser, line tool, rectangle tool, circle/ellipse tool, selection tool - Move and delete selected brush strokes - SVG export - Rebindable keyboard shortcuts - Built-in and custom color palettes - Designed to be used with a drawing tablet (Wacom, etc.).
