The Microsoft Garage project application SketchPal is now available on the Microsoft Store. The painting application provides a modern inking experience on Windows 10 devices.
It features inking specific tools such as coloring assist or stroke cleanup and supports classic features such as layers and custom brushes.
Designed for touch-based input, it works great on devices like Microsoft Surface that support digital pen input or dials. The app supports multiple screens and tilting.
SketchPal is no Photoshop or Paint.net replacement, but it is free and a good option for Windows 10 users who want to use inking functionality on their devices.
The free application displays the lyrics of the songs that the Spotify client is playing currently on the desktop.
The app pulls the data from the services Musixmatch and Genius and displays the lyrics in an independent window on the screen.
