Amadine is vector graphics software for making and editing scalable artwork, with raster effects available in designs. It runs on Mac, iPad, and iPhone; listed requirements are macOS 11 or higher and iPadOS or iOS 15 or higher. More than 30 tools cover selection, drawing, editing, and typing, including Pen, Draw, Width, and Image Trace. Text can follow a path, sit inside a shape, or flow between linked text boxes.

It exports vector artwork as SVG or PDF and other work as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, or PDF. Images can also be imported from Pexels, Pixabay, and Unsplash, with an internet connection. The free version is operational, but exporting, printing, and image tracing require a license. iPad and iPhone in-app purchases start at $2.99 a month; Mac lifetime licenses are listed at $29.99, paid once for one user and $49.99, paid once for five seats.

ProtoSketch currently exports PDF, imports and exports PNG and JPG, and supports SVG data exchange; SVG import is planned for a future version. On iOS, Dropbox can import documents and images, while “Open in…” functionality is also available. iCloud syncing across Mac, iPad and iPhone is planned.
