Paintbrush
Paintbrush is a simple, lightweight image editor for macOS that aims to recreate the classic paint program experience from early Mac computers. It provides basic drawing tools like brushes, shapes, text, and color selection for creating simple graphics and making quick image edits. The app is designed for users who need straightforward image editing capabilities without the complexity of professional graphics software. It's particularly useful for basic image annotation, simple drawings, quick mockups, and light photo editing tasks.
