The universe never asked you to spend your life wrestling with clunky animation tools. Cartwheel just lets you animate, and leaves the existential struggle for another day.
Cartwheel is built for creators who'd rather bring characters to life than argue with software. Type what you want, or stitch together motion from a massive library. That means no endless keyframing, and no 'how do I rig this again?' headaches.
Need a custom character? Describe it or upload your own art. You'll get a fully rigged, ready-to-dance model without ever opening a 300-page manual. Already have 3D characters? Import them and animate in a fraction of the usual time.
Your work stays yours. Everything you upload is private, so you control your creations, not the internet.
Cartwheel also works from your phone. On a train, in a meeting, at the dentist - you can turn ideas into motion anywhere. And if you need a little spark, the community gallery is there for a quiet moment of inspiration (or comparison).
For game studios dodging crunch, marketers churning out content, or filmmakers short on time, Cartwheel removes the usual friction. You'll animate faster, with fewer roadblocks, and finally stop envying the people who 'just know Blender.'
