Keepsakes

Keepsakes: the sky, the moon and your words, in ink

A keepsake starts with something that matters: a date, a year, a few words. Forgeplot turns it into a drawing made only of single pen strokes, so you can plot it on a pen plotter or print it and frame it.

Star Chart

The sky from any night

Pick a date, a time and a place, and Star Chart draws the stars as they stood, with the constellations and an optional legend. The night you met, the night they were born.

A Forgeplot Star Chart: the sky over New York on the night of 21 June 2026, stars as small circles joined by constellation lines, with star and constellation names.
App preview: New York, 21 June 2026, 10 pm.
Reel: “He drew her the sky from the night they met.”
Moon Calendar

Every moon of a year

The moon on every night of the year you choose, one small disc per day, laid out as a calendar. A birth year, a wedding year.

A Forgeplot Moon Calendar for 2026: twelve columns of small moon discs, one per day, each shaded with hatching to show the phase.
App preview: 2026, one disc per night.
Reel: “Every full moon from the year she was born.”
Text Art

Your words, in one spiral

Type a few lines and set them along a spiral, a circle or a wave, in single-stroke letters a pen can draw.

A Forgeplot Text Art spiral: the words ‘I choose you, on the loud days and the quiet ones. Wherever you are is home.’ set in single-stroke capitals winding inward.
App preview: a few lines of vows, set as a spiral.
What a plot looks like

The same single strokes, drawn by a real pen

This isn't a Keepsake, but it shows what any Forgeplot drawing looks like on paper.
