Stroka is a calm, ad-free coloring and drawing app for children — built to feel
good in the hand and sound good in the ear.
Every line you draw makes its own sound. Draw slowly and the pencil is soft and
wide; flick quickly and it thins and lightens, exactly like a real pencil on
real paper. Nothing is a recording — the sound is generated as you move, so no
two strokes are ever quite the same. Add a background of rain, waves, wind or a
quiet night, and the whole app becomes somewhere calm to sit.
WHAT'S INSIDE
Free drawing
Pencil, marker, chalk, neon, glitter and watercolour, on smooth, rough, canvas
or craft paper. Slide the tip from fine to broad. Fill with the bucket, rub out
with the eraser, and step back with undo at any time.
Coloring
Tap to fill hand-drawn pictures — animals, food, vehicles, castles and more.
Miss a small part and it still fills what you were aiming at.
Tracing
Follow the dots to trace pictures, the whole alphabet in capitals and small
letters, and the numbers. Trace the same letter as many times as you like —
there is a repeat button, because writing is practice, not a level to clear.
Rub to reveal
Scratch away the cover to find the picture hiding underneath.
Bubble wrap and sensory play
Pop a whole sheet of bubbles. Scrape a rainbow out from under the dark. Flick a
big bubble around the screen, catch it, squeeze it between two fingers and split
it in two.
Magic garden
Plant and grow a little garden that keeps living while you watch.
Quiet time
A timer, a soundscape, and a page with nothing to finish. The buttons fade away
while you draw so there is nothing on screen but the drawing.
Today's challenge
A different kind of small activity every day — a drawing prompt, a colour of the
day, a picture to finish, something to scratch and reveal, or a tiny scene to
build. It changes by the calendar, so it is the same for everyone and needs no
account.
Your gallery
Save your pictures, watch any of them redraw themselves stroke by stroke, and
share them.
