The visual voice of your mind. A real-time visual programming environment for macOS — for artists and scientists who think in signals. The web you see moving behind this page? That's a Grafit Plexus — move your cursor through it.
Grafit 2.7 pushes one idea everywhere: a photograph, a mask or a live camera frame is not a picture — it is a force field. It spawns particles, collides with them, gates every force and steers endless motion across any texture. Then the same release turns the graph into an ensemble: six synthesizers, a pattern engine and a Composer that writes an endless piece and conducts every instrument in the patch. Plus a point toolkit that opens the whole Array library to point clouds, and 209 nodes with 154 example projects built in. Every preview below is live, drawn in your browser right now.
Any silhouette becomes a force field, sixteen ways: particles orbit a contour, condense on its edge, climb a photograph's brightness, follow its brush strokes, or collapse onto its skeleton. A GPU jump-flood distance field and a brightness landscape are baked into a vector grid, so every particle reads its force with one sample — a live camera costs exactly what a still costs. Region, Feather and Image Power decide where the force acts and how hard.
Any texture, moving forever. The Mask image — a segmentation mask, a logo, live video, or the source itself — becomes a vector field, and the picture is advected along it. Loop is the classic dual-phase flow map: two advections half a cycle apart, cross-faded, so displacement never accumulates and never smears, with per-cycle Jitter hiding the period. Advect is feedback melt. Chroma, Streak and one Speed clock for the whole effect — and Flow Field exports the exact field as an image.
The Audio Modular System is a container you enter and fill with instruments: Aura (modal resonators — bells, bowls, kalimba, 24 materials), Drone, Stardust (ornaments around a melody), Birds (synthesized from 752 measured syllables, no samples), Oriental Rhythm (a tabla performer on a 196-composition corpus) and Gamelan (one instance per section, all on one conductor). Everything renders in ONE audio block: one clock, no drift, voices that retire by audibility.
A point becomes a first-class value. Break Point has two faces: feed it one point and X / Y / Z come out as numbers; feed it a whole cloud and they become per-axis arrays — every point's X in one list. That is the door the Array toolbox was waiting for: sort a cloud by height, filter out everything below a line, remap one axis through a curve — then zip the axes back with Make Point, whose Match Indexes mode rebuilds the survivors with the Y and Z they had before the filter.
An image's palette, live: K base colours with subtones each, clustered perceptually in Oklab and warm-started every frame so a colour keeps its index — no palette flicker on video. Out comes a Colors structure carrying each group's colour, coverage, region centre and blob outline; Points, Lines Visualize and Plexus read it directly for one web per colour. Color Mask and Color Blob turn any one group into a mask or a finished cutout, on a perceptual edge.
Track Points finds trackable pixels in any video (Shi–Tomasi corners, pyramidal Lucas–Kanade tracking, stable slot identity) and outputs Points, per-point Velocities, Activities and Ages — the scene's real motion as numbers. Feed that into Points to Notes and any cloud becomes a polyphonic instrument: 46 scales, 25 chords, 24 rhythms, 13 play modes including a Grid Seq lattice the points press and a Scan mode where the silhouette IS the score.
Previously in 2.6: GPU rope physics, the Video & Audio Players with one shared audio clock, seven chainable audio filters, and the on-device ML ears — polyphonic pitch detection and a neural drum detector — all still evolving in 2.7.
Subscription is the most corrosive thing that has happened to creative and scientific software in a generation. Tools you rely on should not hold your work hostage to a monthly invoice. Grafit Pro is built on the opposite promise.
A studio tool you paid for shouldn't stop working because a billing cycle failed. Creative practice deserves instruments you fully own.
A scientific pipeline paid for once cannot suddenly become inaccessible because of a budget cut three years from now. Your methods have to survive.
We don't trust a business model that builds against its customers. Grafit Pro is funded by people who want it to exist — and Founders are at the core of that.
Grafit Pro wasn't built in a vacuum. It was born from a passionate collaboration between an artist and scientists — two ways of thinking that share one value: radical transparency.
We know what it means to create. We designed this tool specifically with you in mind — a visual programming sandbox that is safe, highly efficient, and boundless. The fastest way we know to translate raw feelings and ideas into stunning, complex visual art.
You shouldn't have to be a software engineer to make magic happen — but you also shouldn't be kept in the dark about how your tools work. Every algorithm, every node, every function is publicly explained. You can see the mechanics behind your art, and replicate or tweak any function as you see fit.
An environment that is easy to use, wildly creative, and completely honest.
Data tells a story, and how you visualize it matters. Grafit Pro is designed by people who respect the analytical rigor of your work just as much as the visual impact of the final result — a secure visual programming sandbox for building impressive, complex data visualizations quickly.
In science, transparency is everything — and we share that core value. Every algorithm, node, and function is publicly documented and clearly explained. You know exactly what is happening under the hood, and can verify and precisely replicate any function your research requires.
No hidden variables. No black-box mechanics. Your data speaks for itself.
The first 1,500 people buy Grafit Pro at the Founders price — €9.99, one-time, on the Mac App Store. That's the version shipping today — v2.x — and every v3.x release when it arrives. We don't say "forever" — that would be marketing. We say exactly what's included, and nothing more.
