Works with the other AANK apps
Send a production to XUDHAKANTHA, the mother app, or to SRINIBARAN, XUNPAKHILI, BURHA LUIT, AAROHAN and KUMSUNG, and open their work here: characters, scenes and the stage size come across.
Choose Send to in one app, then Open from in the other. On aank.org the work moves across at once; elsewhere it travels as an .aank file.
Guides and downloads
Read the Installation Guide first: it shows how to open, install and keep your work safe on a computer, a phone or a tablet.
Devices
Computers, tablets and phones, in Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, online or offline. Phones are good for viewing and small changes; for full work and large drawings use a laptop or desktop with Chrome or Edge. The 3D views need WebGL, which every recent browser has.
Your work stays on your device
Everything you make is kept on your own device. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. Five automatic backups are kept, and Save file gives you a copy to keep.
Scan with your phone camera to open the web app.
