What is Sketchware?

Our Vision

Sketchware started in 2016, when the founders quit their original jobs to dedicate their time and efforts to creating the most convenient and flexible app development tool for people without extensive programming background knowledge.

Our idea wasn’t about success, it was about change.

At the time, the field of app development was rapidly growing, but it was very difficult for everyday people to experience the fun of it. We wanted to create a tool that transformed people into app developers at the expense of a single tap.

Isn’t Sketchware paid?

Yes. We currently have a 1.99$/mo subscription. But please read our story below.

The current founders quit their original jobs to bring this idea to life for about 2 years without any monetary compensation. After, we did receive some funding, but it was difficult for us to continue building Sketchware while sustaining ourselves.

If you already are or have been a Sketchware user, you may have noticed some paid features being added/removed during the growth. We worked tirelessly to balance out the income and expense, but it has reached a point where it is difficult to even sustain our office space.

Sketchware is in danger of closing down soon if we can’t raise the funds to continue. We really want to keep Sketchware a freeware, yet our income is not enough to continue the service.

Here is how you can help us

Sketchware opened a Patreon page. For those who don’t know, Patreon is a membership platform that provides business tools for creators to run a subscription content service, as well as ways for artists to build relationships and provide exclusive experiences to their subscribers, or “patrons”.

We need approximately 3,500 patrons for current developers and founders to continue developing Sketchware, pay for office bills, servers, and most importantly, feed our families. If we reach the goal, we promise to try our best to head towards the goal of keeping Sketchware free for everyone.

What’s in it for me?

If you become a patron, there’s a bunch of stuff you can look forward to. Get invited to our supporter-only Discord channel, join our monthly live stream, have higher priority in your feature requests, or pledge to just help us maintain the server cost.

We always have, and will continue to welcome your suggestions and feedback to help us improve. :)
