Paintlet is a simple, native macOS paint app - Windows 11 Paint's features in a Mac app. Just the classic Paint tool set, nothing more: pencil, brush, shapes, curve, flood fill, text, etc. MIT license.
Finally a paint app on Mac that just works like the old Windows one. The curve tool felt surprisingly responsive and the flood fill was instant.
finally something that feels like the old paint but on mac, super clean and the curve tool actually works well. been using it for quick sketches all morning.
The native macOS feel is a nice touch, especially how the tool icons and canvas frame match Apple's design language rather than feeling like a Windows port. Glad it's MIT licensed too.
Love that you kept it faithful to the classic Paint feel rather than packing in features no one asked for. The native macOS focus shows in how clean the toolbar feels.
