What it is
pau. is a freeform adult coloring app for iPad, with hand-drawn pages and optional Apple Pencil support. Its free tools include Fill, Soft Round, Fineliner, and Marker brushes, plus undo and redo, stroke adjustments, an eyedropper, and recent colors. Premium adds watercolor, oil, gouache, pastel, and chalk brushes, along with Smudge and reusable custom palettes, including palettes created from photos. The maker says new hand-drawn pages arrive every Friday, at about four pages per week. Progress saves automatically on the device, and downloaded pages can be colored offline. Users can save finished images and automatic time-lapse videos; free exports carry a pau. mark, which Premium removes. The maker says there are no accounts, ads, or cross-app tracking, and that artwork, favorites, and progress remain on the iPad. Its privacy policy describes pseudonymous product-event processing by TelemetryDeck and crash and performance diagnostics by Sentry. Eligible non-subscribers can preview Premium brushes and Smudge once for 72 hours; this is not an App Store subscription trial and does not bill automatically. The app requires an iPad running iPadOS 18.6 or later. Premium subscriptions are billed by Apple and renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
