Krita on android is honestly, quite unintuitive. As expected, a direct port from desktop to mobile platform. Which both have smaller screen and different workflow isn’t going to produce great result. ![DSC_0059](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/6/66bd8827156c2675fe22656ec7f5ad25849dfd3b.jpeg) So I’ve been thinking. Doesn’t we, used to have a more simplified version krita?. I remember seeing it on steam as Krita Gemini or Krite Sketch. It has a simple UI and pretty accessible tool (no traditional menu, many drop down elements, or preference/settings burried behind something). ![DSC_0052](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/3/6/36e3b4a876ba725cb3ddeb556c88d22abfd47878.jpeg) Today, it’s seems more and more people start doing art on their mobile device quite seriously. Pushing a lot of company to put out dedicated mobile app for them like Medibang, Sketchbook, Ibis, and even Clipstudio. Making me also wonders, is there any plan to make a dedicated version of krita that actually designed for mobile devices?. A true built from ground up to run on mobile, not a direct port of pc version. ![shopping center843](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/d/6df953e4f90b2fe5c8cf74f8cfcd80eb239e26e4.png) ---

Yes, we _know_… Krita Sketch and Krita Gemini had to be abandoned when we ported from Qt 4 to Qt 5 because the Qt Company rewrote Qt Quick from scratch, making it impossible to have a Qt Quick UI around and on top of our OpenGL-based canvas. For Qt 6 they have rewritten it once again… We’re looking into making a dedicated tablet/phone UI again, but we’re too busy with Krita 5 to take action on that, and in any case, we’d have to do that after the Qt 6 port or otherwise there’s a big chance all our workw as in vain. Btw, last time I looked at Medibang on iOS, it was also a straight desktop port, complete with dialogs and popups. ---

Glad to hear that the plan is still on the radar, looking forward to it. As of today it looks like this. . ![top-main-device-pc](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/7/675f6106ace77fe7b1ffbeba1da551c52ff56e31.png) ---

krita can also make some general changes. For example, the selection toolbar of csp. It is very convenient for both computer and Android users. I don’t know how complicated it is to transform krita’s existing toolbar into it. Maybe the python plugin can do it too ![image](https://krita-artists.org/uploads/default/original/3X/2/e/2ed7077ee6ed299e18be34604e9cbb8da2779e2c.png) ---
