Flying Chalk

Chalk that behaves like chalk.

Every stroke is stamped grain by grain — not traced with a smooth line. Flick your wrist and the stroke feathers and breaks up, the way a real stick skips across a board. Slow down and it packs in, dense and powdery. Press harder and it bites. Lay the Pencil over on its side and you get a broad, soft side-stroke — the same move a teacher uses to shade in a hillside.

Built for iPad, in landscape, with Apple Pencil.

FOR THE CLASSROOM
Pick the surface the lesson needs: a classic chalkboard, a green board, a whiteboard, kraft and sketch paper, ruled and grid pages, a character practice grid for handwriting, Xuan paper, a music staff. Change the board and your drawing stays exactly where it was.

Trace guides break a simple drawing into steps, so a class can follow along stroke by stroke — the point is the stroke order, not the finished shape. Shapes give you clean lines, arrows and polygons when you need a diagram instead of a doodle. Layers let you build a diagram up and peel it back.

FOR KIDS
It is just a board and a stick. Tap, draw, wipe it off. The trace guides turn into a quiet game: follow the guide line, finish the cat.

THE THINGS PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT
- A tip that goes thin when you want it thin, and stays thin.
- Pinch to zoom deep into the board and keep drawing at full grain.
- Palm rejection. Rest your hand on the glass; only the Pencil writes.
- The toolbar fades out the moment you put the Pencil down and comes back when you lift it. On a projector or a shared screen, what is on the board is all anyone sees.
- Mix your own colors. They are still there tomorrow.

KEEP AND SHARE
Save a drawing to your works library and come back to it later, filed by date. Turn any board into a share poster, with a QR code if you want one, and send it to a class group or a parent.

Chalk sound is there if you like it. Turn it off if you do not.
