Description
Qalaris turns your Apple Pencil into a real reed pen — not a brush. Flat-cut nib with real ink physics: the angle turns with your wrist, ink runs dry as you write, and pressure drains it faster the harder you press. Draw a letter, tap Analyze, and AI reviews your stroke like a master's red pen — red for errors, green for what's right. It marks up your own drawing, not a generated "perfect" one. Slow, mindful strokes make it a calm, meditative practice. The first AI calligraphy teacher for iPad.

Could you build this?
Partial While the iPad UI and PencilKit integration can be vibe-coded, simulating realistic fluid ink dynamics for a flat-cut reed pen and evaluating Arabic calligraphy strokes require non-trivial physics simulation and computer vision fine-tuning.
What it would actually take: A full build requires Metal or OpenGL custom shaders to model ink depletion, angle-dependent nib width, and paper absorption, paired with a stroke analysis model (likely fine-tuned CNN/ViT on annotated classical calligraphy datasets like Thuluth or Naskh) to evaluate proportions and curvature against traditional calligraphy rubrics.
