Get started with OpenGL ES 2.0 shader development on your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch today. Create your own vertex and fragment shaders using the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL) and compile them on your mobile device. Tweak your shader code and the values of the uniforms and see the effects immediately.

Wether you are an experienced developer or a beginner, Shaderific is a powerful and fun tool to work on your shaders on the go or to do some prototyping on the couch.

*** FREE VERSUS PAID VERSION ***
This is the free version of Shaderific. It has the same functionality as the paid version, but whenever you quit the app all changes are discarded.
