MandelKit: Fractal Explorer

Explore infinite Mandelbrot and Julia fractals on Mac, iPhone, and iPad. MandelKit combines native Apple Metal rendering, arbitrary-precision deep zoom, expressive 2D color, illuminated 3D relief, and huge tiled exports in one creative studio.

ZOOM BEYOND ORDINARY LIMITS

• Explore Mandelbrot, Julia, Burning Ship, Multibrot, Multijulia, and Multicorn formulas.

• Navigate smoothly with mouse, trackpad, touch, or exact high-precision coordinates.

• Continue deep into structures that exceed ordinary floating-point precision.

• Watch progressive rendering refine the visible image while you work.

CREATE A DISTINCTIVE LOOK

• Choose independent exterior and interior color sources.

• Use built-in or custom gradients, cyclic palettes, potential coloring, domain coloring, interference, orbit traps, and more.

• Add contours, field lines, distance bands, ambient occlusion, boundary glow, curvature, textures, and coordinated style presets.

• Fine-tune supersampling and detail-preserving filters.

SCULPT FRACTALS IN 3D

• Turn fractal measurements into an illuminated height field.

• Move the relief camera independently from fractal navigation.

• Adjust height, smoothing, material, directional or point light, and horizon.

SAVE, SHARE, AND EXPORT

• Save exact regions with coordinates, colors, effects, lighting, and 3D camera settings.

• Keep private regions synchronized through iCloud when you choose.

• Publish a separate public copy only after explicit confirmation, or share privately by link.

• Export PNG, JPEG, or TIFF while preserving the visible composition.

• On Mac, create disk-backed tiled 2D exports up to 100,000 × 100,000 pixels—even beyond the maximum size of a single Metal texture.

MandelKit includes a complete in-app manual and a carefully adapted interface for Mac, iPhone, and iPad.
