A Thousand Li

Ink Landscape

Each morning the phone hands you a Chinese landscape and names the school. The strokes are computed on the device from the old painting manuals — Xie He's six laws, Guo Xi's three distances, seven families of texture strokes. No neural network, and nothing leaves the phone.

What it does

Seven mornings

Hemp fibre, axe-cut, raindrop, folded band, rolling cloud, unravelled rope, Mi dots. The strip under the painting is the week ahead. Tap today and the colophon says whose brush, which colour, which distance.

The host peak follows your hand

Drag across the painting. One host peak — two hosts is no host. Density, mist and water move with it. The brushwork stays with the manuals.

Not a picture generator

No neural network, no training data, no network calls. The painting is computed on your phone from rules you could look up in a book.

Questions

Is this AI image generation?
No. There is no neural network and no training data. Every stroke is computed from rules in the classical treatises.
Does it need the internet?
No. Everything is computed on the device, and the app makes no network calls.
Is there a subscription?
Not yet. An optional yearly subscription comes with version 1.1, now in App Store review. It will add the handscroll — opening, developing, turning, closing — plus full-resolution export without the seal, and any past morning's subject. Today's painting, all seven schools, placing the peak, keeping and sharing stay free.
