Mandelbrot Metal is an independent software studio focused on creating breakthrough experiences at the intersection of art, science, mathematics, and high-performance computing. Founded by developer Michael Stebel, the studio pushes the limits of hardware and graphics technologies to build apps that are not only technically advanced but also visually extraordinary.
Our flagship app, Mandelbrot Metal, is a breakout success on the App Store. The app brings the infinite complexity of the Mandelbrot set and related fractals to life on iPhone and iPad through high-performance, real-time rendering. It climbed as high as #3 in the App Store’s Paid Graphics & Design category and has remained in the Top 100 every week since launch, consistently charting alongside long-established creative tools. Engineered as a showcase for Apple’s Metal® framework, Mandelbrot Metal supports ultra-deep zoom up to 10¹⁶×, HDR color workflows, 8K+ exports, 3D visual effects, and over 150 curated color palettes, transforming abstract mathematics into a precise, immersive visual experience.
