About Linearity
Linearity ships a steady monthly drip of effects and workflow polish across iPad and Mac.
Linearity ships Curve (vector design) and Move (animation) across iOS and macOS on a roughly monthly cadence. Recent releases layer in on-trend effects (glass, noise), workflow refinements (corner smoothing, path bending, snapping), and AI-flavored image tooling (Super Resolution). The product reads as a maturing Apple-platform alternative to desktop vector and motion suites, prioritizing polish and reliability — 6.7 was explicitly a stability and restoration release.
