Privacy Friendly Sketching lets you create and save simple sketches in a
quick manner without having to endure ads or requiring additional permissions.

There is only one optional permission that this app needs if you want to access
the import/export functionality of this app, with which you can import an image
from the device storage or export a sketch into the device storage.
