“The ability to adjust the line is by far the most engaging and tactile part of Concepts.” - Evan Bronstein, Architect
Welcome to Concepts! An advanced sketching and design tool for iPad, Concepts is used by architects world-wide to design homes, enhance communities, build landscapes and plan renovations on-site, with clients, at home and at the office.
Architects can explore and sketch ideas naturally by hand, produce precision drawings to scale, iterate on designs quickly, export to software applications like AutoCAD, and instantly share their work for an efficient, mobile workflow. Designed as a smart yet natural replacement for all those reams of trace, Concepts is chosen by architectural firms, freelance architects, interior designers and landscape architects as their go-to mobile design tool.
Combined with the sensitivity afforded by the Apple Pencil, I was finally able to use my iPad as a true sketch pad.

Explore and sketch with realistic pencils, pens, wire, markers and more organic brushes in COPIC colors all over the infinite canvas.
Adjustable vectors allow you to iterate and change elements of your design without having to redraw anything.
Know one measurement, know them all. Set your project to scale and work with measurement to deliver a design with exact dimensions.
Infinite layers for as many iterations on a theme as you need to make your client happy. Quickly toggle between alternatives.
Precision tools like grids, snap, ruler and shape guides help you polish your sketch into a plan.
Export in standard and high-resolution file types or connect with other apps, including JPG, PNG, SVG, DXF (AutoCAD), PSD (Adobe), CPT (Concepts native) and PDF.
