Concepts App

Concepts App

Concepts App is an infinite, flexible sketching tool that treats every idea as a concept. The product, built by TopHatch, turns a single canvas into a studio for notes, mind maps, mood boards, plans, and finished illustrations. It has been recognised as an Editors’ Choice on the Apple App Store, the Microsoft Store, and Google Play, and runs across iOS, Windows, Android, and ChromeOS.

What sets Concepts App apart is the way it blends analog feel with vector precision. Sketches start from hybrid brushes that mimic pencils, pens, wire, and markers, and every stroke becomes an editable vector that can be moved, scaled, recolored, or rewritten without redrawing. Professional COPIC colors licensed from Too Corporation sit alongside HSL and RGB color wheels, while grids, line smoothing, live snap, shape guides, real-world scale, and measurement help teams turn loose sketches into accurate deliverables.

Collaboration is built into the experience. A Presentation Mode shares the live canvas with teammates or clients during video calls, which makes Concepts App a useful remote whiteboard alongside apps like Zoom. PDF and image files can be imported and annotated, then exported to PDF, PNG, PSD, SVG, DXF (AutoCAD), and other formats. Object libraries, infinite layers, custom brushes, and custom grids give design teams reusable assets for ongoing work.

Pricing follows a region-aware, layered structure. The free Basic tier delivers an infinite sketchbook with five layers, COPIC/HSL/RGB color wheels, paper and grid types, and basic JPG exports. A Pro subscription unlocks more than 200 libraries and features for $4.99 per month or $29.99 per year, with a seven-day free trial. Essentials and add-on packs such as brushes, object libraries, and PDF exports can be purchased once for $1.99 to $39.99 per item. Businesses can deploy managed Pro access, and qualifying schools can unlock the product free of charge through the Education program.

Concepts App is suitable for architecture, illustration, note-taking, product design, UI/UX work, visual thinking, and remote whiteboarding, especially when paired with a stylus. The publisher is steadily expanding platform parity so every feature behaves the same across iOS, Windows, Android, and ChromeOS.
