Navigate an infinite mathematical universe in real time.

Mandelbrot Flight Simulator renders the legendary Mandelbrot set directly on your device's GPU

Pinch to zoom into breathtaking fractal detail, drag to explore, and watch the companion Julia set update live as you move through the plane.

Every point in the Mandelbrot set corresponds to a unique Julia set — an infinite catalog of alien geometry, generated from the simplest possible rule

This app lets you browse that catalog in real time.

WARNING: YOUR MIND WILL BE BLOWN!

Hunt for the most intricate and beautiful Julia sets at the chaotic border of the Mandelbrot set.

WHAT YOU'RE SEEING

The Mandelbrot set is the collection of all points in the complex plane whose orbits stay bounded under the iteration z → z² + c

Its boundary is infinitely complex — zoom in anywhere and new structure always emerges

The colors show how quickly nearby points escape to infinity.

The Julia set is a companion fractal

For any point you pick in the Mandelbrot set, there exists a unique Julia set with that point as its parameter

Points deep inside the Mandelbrot set produce solid, connected Julia sets

Points near the boundary produce intricate, fragmented ones

This app makes that relationship tangible and explorable.
