Description
Tracer turns your iPhone into a tracing tool. Pick any image, tap a real surface to anchor it in augmented reality, and trace over it by hand on paper, canvas or a wall. No projector, no light box, no printing. Dial in the opacity, pinch/twist/drag to position, then lock it so your hand can rest on the phone. The screen stays awake and Tracer remembers your reference between sessions. No servers, no analytics, no accounts, no photo library permission. First 5 images free, then $9.99/year.
