Amadine Overview

Amadine for Mac is a vector design app built specifically for macOS, with matching apps for iPad and iPhone. It supports SVG, PDF, AI, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and HEIC files, along with its own .amdc format for saving projects. Designers use it for logos, icons, illustrations, and UI mockups, thanks to tools like Fusion, boolean operations, and pressure-sensitive tablet support. It's often compared to Affinity Designer for its clean interface and one-time purchase option, avoiding the subscription model that Adobe Illustrator relies on. Files sync across Mac, iPad, and iPhone through iCloud.
