In their own words
Callipeg
Callipeg is a 2D animation application for frame-by-frame and keyframe work on tablets and desktop computers. Its pixel-based hand-drawn tools include customizable brushes, dedicated erasers, freehand and geometric shapes, pixel and raster drawing, selection, and affine, perspective, and warp transformations. Keyframe features cover layer parenting, curve editing, tangents, and position, scale, rotation, and opacity controls. The application imports images, videos, image sequences, JSON, XDTS, audio, brushes, palettes, and PSD files. It exports images, sequences, videos, GIF, JSON, OCA, and XDTS files; OCA works with Blender, while XDTS works with CLIP STUDIO PAINT, Toei Digital Exposure Sheet, and OpenToonz. Files are stored locally, with optional platform-dependent cloud backups. It auto-saves every 30 seconds, supports up to 4K, and has no hard layer or sheet limit. Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, and Windows are listed. Prices are one-time purchases: $5 mini, $15 iPad, and $30 Studio.
