About this app

Draw mesmerizing geometric art with your own finger — or let it draw itself.
Spirograph Maker is a math-meets-art tool with 110,000+ downloads as a series.

Spirograph Maker turns the timeless mechanical drawing toy into a digital playground for your Android phone. Choose your gears, pick your colors, then drag your finger to roll the gear and trace the pattern yourself, just like the real toy. Or hold one button and watch hypnotic patterns bloom on their own. No drawing skill required.

WHERE MATH MEETS ART
The patterns Spirograph creates aren't accidents — they're governed by GCD/LCM and parametric equations. Hypotrochoids and epitrochoids come alive on your screen with two rolling modes (inside / outside). A visual companion for number theory and parametric curves — whether you're a curious learner, a math enthusiast, or just love beautiful patterns, this is where math becomes mesmerizing.

In 2022, Spirograph Maker was acknowledged in an academic paper on algebraic combinatorics (Billey & Weaver, arXiv:2207.06508). From a child's toy to cutting-edge mathematical research — that's how deep these patterns go.

Ratings and reviews

This is a great app! The controls are there at the bottom of the screen (may need to scroll), to do almost anything you want. Any color you want iu there with YRB sliders, so you can mix colors. You can also move the start point for multiple patterns. I saved my design and sent it to my email to print. A lot of comments are not correct. Take time to figure it out!

Could only get two styles and couldn't start over easily

nothing for you to do... just watch...
