Hane by Sloom · Chromebook
A free painting app for Chromebook.
Hane is listed on Google Play for Chromebooks that run Android apps. If your Chromebook shows the Play Store, you can install Hane Starter free and paint with a supported stylus, a mouse, or the trackpad, with a real keyboard for shortcuts. There is no account to create, no ads, and nothing marked onto your artwork.

Made for a keyboard and a pen
- Assignable keyboard shortcuts for tools, undo, layers, selection and canvas navigation. Reassigning a chord moves it rather than double-firing.
- Mouse and trackpad profile: each button can paint, pan, sample color or do nothing; the wheel can zoom, resize the brush or rotate; Space-drag pans.
- Stylus pressure and tilt where the Chromebook's pen reports them, with a guided calibration that stores a profile for the device.
- Landscape layout with collapsible tool rails, so the canvas stays large on a laptop screen.
Brushes that behave like paint
Hane's engine, Tiltmark, simulates the brush as an object. Brushes carry a finite load of pigment, pick color back up off the canvas, get dirty, and run dry. Oil stays wet until you dry it. Watercolor spreads on a wet substrate. Graphite, colored pencil, charcoal, pastel, ink, marker, gouache, acrylic and blenders are in the free tier, with the same physics as the paid tier.
For classrooms and school-managed devices
Hane has no login, no chat, no feed, no ads and no cloud; artwork stays on the device unless the artist exports it. The privacy policy is short and public. Teachers running the First Hundred prompts as exercises can write to support@sloom.studio for a batch of Full codes for a class.
