GMT

A modern browser with WebGL2. For comfortable real-time exploration, an RTX 2070 or equivalent desktop GPU is a good baseline — older hardware and integrated graphics still run it, especially with Lite Render enabled, but expect reduced framerates.

Browser note: Chrome and Edge give the best performance. Firefox runs at roughly half the framerate because of an open WebGL2 bug on its side — the app still works, just slower. Safari is fine but has its own quirks around video export (see the Exporting tutorial).

Partially. The core engine runs, and touch controls exist for the viewport, but the UI was built desktop-first and needs more refinement on small screens. Mobile-GPU framerates are modest on complex formulas. Serious work is best done on a desktop or laptop for now.

Yes. The GPL-3.0 license applies to the app's source code, not to the images or videos you produce with it. Your renders are yours — sell them, print them, put them in films, it's all fine.

Yes — the client is licensed under GPL-3.0. Source code is on GitHub. Contributions, forks, and self-hosting are welcome.

Not beyond what's necessary. No analytics cookies, no fingerprinting, no ads. The app runs entirely client-side — your scenes, renders, and settings stay on your device unless you explicitly share them. If and when the community gallery launches, participation will be opt-in.

GMT ships with 40+ built-in formulas plus a Formula Workshop that imports from Fragmentarium and the Distance Estimator Compendium — hundreds more shapes just a click away. You can also write your own GLSL or build one visually in the Modular node editor. See the Workshop tutorial.

Generative Math Tracer, GPU Manifold Tracer, Grand Mathematical Topography, Guy's Math Toy — a different name every time you load the app. The cyan M stays. It's for Benoit B. Mandelbrot, whose set started this whole territory.
