About This App
RetroPaint is a painting app built for people who remember when drawing on a computer was simple. No layer panels. No blend modes. No transparency sliders. You pick a color, you pick a brush, and you paint on white. When you make a mistake, you erase with white. Just like the paint programs that came with every computer in the 1980s and 1990s.
The app works entirely offline. Your paintings are saved to your device gallery and never uploaded anywhere. There are no accounts, no cloud sync, no analytics, and no ads. You paint, you save, you share if you want to. That's it.
RetroPaint includes all the classic tools: freehand brush, eraser, paint bucket fill, line, rectangle, ellipse, and triangle. A 12-color palette covers the essentials. Undo and redo let you step backward and forward through your work. Load any image from your device to paint over, or start from a blank canvas.
