Wand

Wand is a purpose-built AI drawing and editing app for iPhone and iPad, now part of Krea.ai, that pairs a custom brush engine with private, secure model training. It lets you blend hand-drawn sketches with AI in real time, so you can go from a rough sketch to a fully rendered piece in seconds. The app is positioned for artists who want AI as a collaborative partner—not a replacement—and it rewards visual art skills over prompt engineering. Core to Wand's appeal is privacy: your trained models stay private and protected, accessible only to you. That's a genuine differentiator for artists who want to experiment with their own aesthetic without it leaking into a shared dataset. A dataset library lets you store and reuse reference images, streamlining repetitive work. Multi-layer support handles complex compositions, regional iterative editing lets you tweak specific areas, and dynamic morph intensity gives you control over the strength of each modification—so you can refine without losing your hand. The app is natively iOS, designed for iPhone and iPad with full Apple Pencil and iPadOS support. Real-time drawing and editing mean you can sketch and iterate instantly, and the preloaded style library offers a range of artistic templates. Export as transparent PNGs for design projects. Artists like David Salle (for his Gladstone Gallery exhibit) and Tiye Pulley use Wand to train custom models on their own artwork, blending traditional and digital methods. Wand is a strong option if you live in the iPad ecosystem and want to keep your style exclusive. It's not for those who need cross-platform support or extensive integrations—it's iOS-only. Built by artists, for artists, Wand gives you control: teach it your style and push your creative boundaries.
