ShapeCue

ShapeCue is a geometric composition inspiration tool for designers, illustrators, and creative professionals. It transforms the way you explore visual ideas by turning composition creation into a playful, parameter-driven experience.

CORE FEATURES

Composition Generator

Choose from five shape types — Circle, Rectangle, Triangle, Line, and Arc — and adjust parameters including quantity, size, spacing, rotation, and random offset. Every adjustment updates the canvas in real time, giving you immediate visual feedback as you explore endless layout possibilities.

Color Engine

Select from six thoughtfully designed color presets: Monochrome, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Neon, and Pastel. Fine-tune the Color Rhythm slider to control how frequently colors change across the composition, creating everything from subtle gradients to vibrant contrasts.

Inspiration Book

Save your favorite compositions with custom names and browse them in a clean grid view. Revisit any saved piece to continue editing, generate randomized variants that keep the spirit of your original while exploring new directions, or delete the ones that no longer inspire.

Variant Generation

With one tap, create a new composition that randomly adjusts shape type, quantity, size, spacing, rotation, color preset, and rhythm. This feature helps you break creative blocks by presenting unexpected yet coherent alternatives to your current design.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

ShapeCue embraces Bauhaus design principles — clean geometry, purposeful color, and a focus on fundamental visual elements. The dark interface puts your compositions front and center, while the subtle grid background helps you perceive alignment and proportion.

WHO IT IS FOR

Graphic designers seeking fresh layout ideas, UI/UX designers exploring pattern directions, illustrators looking for geometric references, and anyone who enjoys the meditative process of adjusting parameters to discover unexpected beauty.

ShapeCue works entirely offline. No account, no login, no data collection — just you and the shapes.
