Made for Indie Animation

Frame Drafter was originally designed by our animators at Chronokin for our indie animation projects currently in production. We decided to release our tools to give back to the animation community and build support for our projects as we create them. Because this software is used by (and constantly updated by) us, you have the guarantee that its standards are always being elevated to meet the demands of real deadlines and working artists.

Zero Telemetry. Absolute Privacy.

Frame Drafter never makes a network request. No tracking, no cloud, no cookies. Your artwork stays exclusively on your hardware — the tool runs flawlessly, even on a permanently air-gapped machine.

OS Windows, Linux (.AppImage / native binary)
Window Frameless, hardware‑accelerated, always‑on‑top transparent layer
