Kleki was created by Bitbof, an artist who loves to paint and code. The application was intended to bring those two activities together. The application hasn’t been widely discussed, but has earned positive reviews and comments from users and others. Some have labeled the site as one of the most useful on the web today.

Kleki has a basic look to it that works very well, thanks to its sleek, modern design. The interface and canvas background are covered in gentle grey hues. Symbols and text identify various buttons and functions. The overall appearance is very basic, which allows the user to focus on the canvas rather than flashy things bordering it. Kleki brings together simple style with a modern interface that encourages users to create and be creative.

New visitors to the Kleki homepage can begin drawing right away. There is no registration requirement. Users are not given a login option at this time.
