Patatap
What it is
Patatap is a web-based animation and sound kit for creating melodies with moving shapes. On a computer, users click the page and press keyboard keys to play; the description also supports making melodies by touch. Animations and melodies act together as an interactive instrument, and multiple color palettes can be paired with matching soundscapes. The hosted Web plan is free. A listed iPhone and iPad app costs $1.99, paid once and is described as the official offline version of the website. The App Store lists Mac compatibility requiring macOS 14.2 or later and an Apple M1 chip or later. The official site says the web experience was made with Two.js, a two-dimensional drawing API. The App Store reports that the developer indicated usage data and diagnostics may be collected without being linked to the user, while Apple says it has not verified that information. The listing does not specify accessibility features. Patatap warns that it contains flashing images.
