Moebius

Moebius is an ANSI and ASCII art editor that runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. It offers a “half‑block” brush that lets users paint with a level of granularity more akin to a raster graphics program than a traditional text‑based editor, while still supporting the keyboard‑driven drawing and cursor navigation familiar from similar tools. The interface retains most of the text‑editing capabilities found in PabloDraw, such as function‑key shortcuts and cursor‑based drawing, allowing creators to work with both blocky and finer‑grained elements.

The software is positioned for artists and hobbyists who produce ANSI or ASCII graphics and want a cross‑platform solution that blends text‑mode editing with more detailed brush control. Its open‑source nature encourages users to submit feature requests and bug reports through the project’s GitHub repository, and the project provides installers and packages for each supported operating system.

Moebius is marked as stable, indicating a mature core for macOS, and it is distributed as a macOS application, a Windows installer, a portable Windows executable, as well as Debian and RPM packages, with the source code available on GitHub.
