Tracer
Anchor any image in AR and trace it by hand, anywhere
Tracer turns your iPhone into a tracing tool. Pick any image, tap a real surface to anchor it in augmented reality, and trace over it by hand on paper, canvas or a wall. No projector, no light box, no printing. Dial in the opacity, pinch/twist/drag to position, then lock it so your hand can rest on the phone. The screen stays awake and Tracer remembers your reference between sessions. No servers, no analytics, no accounts, no photo library permission. First 5 images free, then $9.99/year.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Facu, maker of Tracer.
Tracer started as a weekend project to solve a very physical problem: getting a reference drawing onto paper without a projector or a light box. The idea is simple: point your iPhone at the surface, pick an image, tap to anchor it in AR, and it stays locked to that exact spot while you draw over it by hand.
The details that ended up mattering most came from actually using it: an opacity slider so you can see both the reference and your own lines, a lock so your hand can rest on the phone without moving anything, a screen that never sleeps mid-session, and memory of your setup so you can pick up where you left off the next day.
It's built for illustrators, tattoo artists placing stencils, muralists scaling a design to a wall, and anyone learning to draw. Zero servers, zero analytics, zero accounts. It doesn't even ask for photo library access.
Your first 5 images are free; after that it's $9.99/year. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who draws for a living.
