Feelings Forge

Mortimer holds still while you rearrange him. Choose a puddle, drag his parts around, write the caption you have been sitting on all week. Everything happens on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is tracked, no wallet needed.

Drag any part to move it. Grab the lime square to scale, the round knob to spin. Arrow keys nudge by 6 px, hold Shift for 30. Press F to flip, D to duplicate, Delete to remove.

One tap, one toad

Each thumbnail is rendered live by the same engine that draws your canvas.

how the forge works

  1. Start from a shelf template

    Six finished scenes are waiting. Load one, then bend it until it sounds like you. The template only changes the canvas, never your saved history.

  2. Everything is a layer

    Mortimer himself is a layer, so are his eyes, his tiny tee and that suspicious coin. Reorder them, flip them, stack three hats. Nobody is checking.

  3. Captions render on the canvas

    Two lines, four typefaces, live colour and tracking. Long lines wrap and shrink on their own so the words never fall off the frame. autofit() does the worrying.

  4. The PNG belongs to you

    Export is a plain 1080 by 1080 PNG drawn locally. Your last canvas is kept in this browser so you can come back mid thought.
