Bitmap images are still, even in 2026, a hugely important medium of communication. Which is why I made Mojave Paint – a Mac-based image editor that lets you really own the production of these bitmap images. They've been making image editors since the original Mac and the Amiga and I'm sure even long before that. But somehow the choices in the modern era fall short. So I have a new option, presented by an upstart software shop in Seattle. If you're looking for AI features, look elsewhere.
finally a paint app that just gets out of the way. loved how the brushes felt on my m2 air, no lag, no weird cloud sync nonsense, just pure editing.
Mojave Paint 1.4 just released today with rich typographic controls. This, combined with Layer Styles that released a couple weeks ago, makes Mojave Paint a pretty capable design tool. Try it out for making flyers or posters or brainstorming on web design ideas.
love that you kept this purely about the craft—no AI gimmicks, just a real bitmap editor. the handmade-from-seattle approach reminds me of the old shareware era, which feels like exactly what mac image editing needs right now.
