Freeform is Apple’s newest productivity app with loads of creative potential. It’s a great place to bring ideas to life. You can sketch out projects, brainstorm ideas, or create mood boards with a flexible canvas, so you’re never out of space to express your ideas. In this video, I share a full tutorial and walk-through of the Freeform app, sharing my favorite features and tips and tricks along the way.

Check out the new update that brought Freeform! ⚡

@mariamangion21 Год назад

Downloading the update ❤

@muhammadbilalakhtar784 Год назад

@KDigitalStudio is there a way to add Audio as i saw the entire video and still cant find a way to add audio files If they add the ability to do voice recording or add voice notes then it can be awesome as it can be way better then notability and goodnotes 5 and other apps

@asmith7876 Год назад

You have presented a mind-blowing amount of information in a concise tutorial…is there a “standing ovation” emoji? 👏 😂. I’ve often wondered why Apple never offered something as simple as even Microsoft Paint but then they drop this in our laps! A lot to learn for an old fart like me, thanks so much for your outstanding presentation. Sadly many people can only absorb the new “shorts” format. This would make about a thousand of them 😅. Thanks!!

@richired7 Год назад

Apple should just integrate free form into Apple notes.. I use Apple notes for school and I wish I could have all of these features on Apple notes.. but I wonder why freeform doesn’t have the Apple fountain pen

@Majestic_King_Hunter Год назад

I too was looking for the fountain pen.

@jayfromQueenz Год назад

I thought the same why can’t they merge it with notes and all it scribe or something lol and put all this and notes jn one place

@jmbosquesillo7203 Год назад

Because one is a whiteboard, and the other is for notes. Maybe they will merge the two later

@thecleverkitten Год назад

Yes, I don’t know why they don’t just have all the native apps share all the features. Kept drawing shapes, waiting for them to snap in place and it doesn’t work!

@LuisDiazArtist Год назад

ATM at least you can divide the screen with notes on one side and freeform on the other. 🤷🏻‍♂️

@lindahealey6992 Год назад

I’m thrilled with the way this app lets me gather different media together and then clearly annotate and connect them in an attractive way. It leaves room for illustrating and saving ideas and resources all in one logical place. I find it’s superb at letting me see the whole picture and identify where the holes and gaps are.

@little.prince Год назад

I make character profiles and do timeline planning for my writing on Freeform, it’s honestly amazing.

@suethomas3064 9 месяцев назад

A superb comprehensive introduction! Thank you Kate

@MariixLuvss Год назад

Thanks so much you helped me once again thank you!!!!

@insightfuldreamer9146 6 месяцев назад

This was incredibly helpful. I bought an iPad to organize my work flow better. But have been overwhelmed with all the other apps out there that are a paid version. Honestly missed the built in apps. LOL. Excited to see that Freeform and Notes actually do everything I need for the work and planing that I do. Your tutorial was awesome and even spoke to a beginner like me. Thank you!!! I am now looking forward to applying what I just learned. Blessings.

@JaimeSuarez-Murias 19 дней назад

great job.

@WestonWoodfin Год назад

I was really excited when this app was announced! I've been waiting for a sandbox note taking app from Apple. Gonna have to review this one!

@Doctor_Manhattan777 Год назад

you are an ipad wizard lol , thank you for the video! great job!

@biblenestam Год назад

Excellent explanation. With your video i am able to use freeform confidently. Thank you very much

@MrsVLGreen Год назад

Hi K! 👋🏽 Do you think this could be used for digital planning and possibly integrate your Everything Planner?

@kquilts23 Год назад

Great tutorial- saved me a lot of time experimenting!! Anxious to use this new app!

@skirolf 5 месяцев назад

Nice video. I miss examples in using this tool. What do you use it for?

@angiejones4744 3 месяца назад

Great Video!!! Thank you

@BethScharwath 11 месяцев назад

Thank you. This was so much help.

@rickmortis Год назад

Think this app was in new update I received. I didnt think I would have a use for it until I began playing. I have a program on laptop for creating advertizing and fun but this app is amazing. Thank you for this video.

@HarryLong Год назад

App is only missing one thing (that I've noticed so far) - FOLDERS. Is there a way to create folders that I'm not aware of?

@bachplucked 6 месяцев назад

Thank you such a nice presentation

@ElisabethBucci Год назад

Great video! Thanks for sharing! This is the answer to my mind-mapping dilemma...all the better because I don't need to purchase Freeform! Mind blown....

@constancephoto6512 Год назад

Thank you. Very detailed and informative!

@aaronuws 3 месяца назад

Great video, but unfortunately I don't have a pen option on MacBook Pro. I do have a Wacom, but apparently, that won't help much. I suppose it's best on iPad (which I don't have).

@morningsniffles Год назад

Thanks for this. I am not into techie side of ipad. Just bought it for watching netflix or yt. But since we are moving into a new house and we are planning on renovating the kitchen, i thought i needed to use the freeform to illustrate and plan our project. Thanks

@GiveMeTacosPlease Год назад

Great video! Thank you so much for the clear and easy to follow tutorial. I will begin using this to map my social media strategies for my business. Thanks again!

@TonicMercantile Год назад

great video - thanks for the tutorial - learned a few new things! very concise and straight to the point!

@mnbaseer Год назад

Thanks for the lovely presentation. I had a doubt, if I want two animals facing each other, how should I flip the object. They tend to remain in the same direction. 🤔

@edwgwilym Год назад

Great tutorial! Thanks!

@denisemiller3675 Год назад

Awesome video. Thanks for putting this together.

@jessicaortins2611 6 месяцев назад

So sorry if this is a silly question... what does the first pencil with the A on it do?

@thekjub 9 месяцев назад

Most important question! Linking to another whiteboard .... as it is crucial for workflow. Or linking to a different part of diagram/view .... two most crucial options to better usage

@mariamangion21 Год назад

Can’t wait to watch!! ❤

@rayawesome6762 Год назад

What a good tutorial! Thanks!

@RobUKTH Год назад

Thank you for the really interesting video! I would be interested to know which paid for apps Freeform replaced for you? Keep up the great work! 🙏

@Meekismwisdom Год назад

Thank you Queen 🫅

I'm interested in understanding how you managed to rearrange the brushes in the small menu for the Apple Pencil? =O

@borokaferencz1883 Год назад

I wish it had the highlighter

@heinrichsinnreich2198 Год назад

Thanks!

@denisef3228 Год назад

If I have my iPad in an Otterbox cover, which includes a cover for the screen, can I still use the pencil with it? I found this so helpful, by the way! Thanks

@Mysteryqueen86 Год назад

great review, I like to know can you do storyboard on the freeform music sheets?

@user-wc6bl4zs4i 10 месяцев назад

Which is better? Free form or Goodnotes 6?

@joeyhelpish Год назад

thank you so much.

@ancky429 Год назад

Hi nice video, for the sticky notes can we write in it with apple pencil? Because when l use the pencil having to type and open the keyboard again is a bit time wasting

@danielledickey5864 Год назад

I’m going to make myself crazy. I’m trying to do a text box and I can’t figure out why I can’t indent the second line of the bulleted item. For instance I’m typing out a recipe and put a bullet point but it all doesn’t fit on one line. When the next line goes down the word starts at the bullet point instead of indented under the first word of the bullet point.

@robyzidni9586 10 месяцев назад

I cant find how to undo with shortcut like tap 2 finger or something like that. Can anyone tell me?

@chromatch704 10 месяцев назад

Can u highlight?

@casyli Год назад

Hey how do I select the outline of a pasted image and end up with just the outline without having to trace it ?

@Magmamom333 Год назад

Also, can we add an index and page numbers?

@chetanngoel Год назад

Can someone please explain me what’s the use of the first pen tool? The one with the capital A written on it

@alycewells1559 Год назад

What widget app do you use? Love the love heart ❤️

Can you create a digital planner in Freeform

Can white change to blackboard ?

@twilight7457 Год назад

Hi, what's the difference between the 2nd and 3rd pen in the drawing tools?

@denisearmas8747 Год назад

Lasso tool only thing missing here. Figuring out how to move things around

@KDigitalStudio Год назад

There is a lasso for moving anything using pencil kit. You would use your finger to move other content! It’s just like Apple Notes!

@amirmir3244 7 месяцев назад

What size is your IPad

@FutileGrief Год назад

How do you compare this app to Muse? They’re so similar. I can’t decide

@oscar09840 Год назад

Perfect 😊

Can we create a link to another freeform canvas?

@Huriangel24 Год назад

What do you think can freeform replace note taking apps like OneNote?

@piyushmajgawali1611 Год назад

is the pentool not available on Mac ?

@jamesrowenhorst6372 Год назад

I’ve noticed a few differences between the iPad and the MacBook versions. Specifically I am wondering if there is a way on the iPad to “make editable” for shapes and lines? On the MacBook I am able to make lines editable which I really like to be able to make curves all different directions and then extend or shorten. I have been unable to find a way to do this on the iPad. Any suggestions??

@jaysgood10 Год назад

Does the whiteboard become a blackboard in dark mode?

@jeffburger Год назад

Great preso, thx! Two mysteries: 1) I see how to select and manipulate multiple objects created with pencil box tools. But is there any way to select and move a group of objects that includes multiple object types (not created with the pen tools)? 2) Is there any way to snap the arrows' endpoints to the objects they connect so that they stretch/move along with the objects when moved. Both of these seem like standards in flowcharting programs. Thx!

@zelva012 Год назад

if you tap with finger on the board it gives you options to select things (everything not just writing)

@roycapropertyltd2101 Год назад

Hi, thank you for the great tutorial. Question: can you create a sticky note or a space where you insert elements and when you move that space, all the inserted elements move with that. I know you have the group functions but then it treats everything as one object and you can't access/view the elements like PDF or pictures etc individually. Thanks for your help!🙏🙏🙏

@BrennaDarazs Год назад

I have the same question. If I have text on a sticky note or a shape on another shape, how do you lock/group them together so you can move the entire thing? Now if I move a sticky note, then I have to move the text separately back on it. Thank you!

@ninokikira3623 Год назад

Freeform doesnt have that many tools as Miro. With Miro, you can do what you are asking and it has more tools. Freeform is very basic and it is more like having a digital blackboard. Until it let us work kn it for meetings and create or add more functions. The only way is taking a screenshot of what you wrote and add it as an image in other places.

@thecleverkitten Год назад

Did anyone else notice that the “snap-to-shape” feature doesn’t seem to be enabled in Freeform? 😢

@fasjackson3588 Год назад

Amazing app it’s been super fun getting used to it and using it for pretty much everything. Does anyone know if you can create or edit placed images transparency? I’d like to place an image and then make it like 50% transparent for instance. How can I do that?

@guidienband Год назад

They don’t let me freely adjust the sticky notes or videos proportion size :( when I take a landscape verses portrait view video they have to look different on the app and it drives me insane

@mariovh Год назад

Does FreeForm have a password protection?

@sumers9396 Год назад

I like to have the eraser on object eraser setting, however, every single time I launch the Freeform app, it starts with the pixel eraser setting and with the thinnest option. The same thing happens with adjusting my pencil thickness, I like to use the thinnest option available when using the pencil, however, after relaunching the app it starts with the middle thickness option. Can someone help me please? Is there a way to change the default thickness of certain pens like there is in Goodnotes? Likewise, is there a way to change the default eraser to be the object eraser? thanks in advance

@jjohnson6833 Год назад

Is Freeform like Endless Paper?

@EjectedAlready 3 месяца назад

Freeform but you cannot sort notes freely

@user_rinzler Год назад

How do you curve font ???

@Magmamom333 Год назад

Are there templates available on this app? For example, a wedding planner.

@KDigitalStudio Год назад

There aren’t templates. This is a mind-mapping, brainstorming sort of app.

@Feedback406 Год назад

I want to use it so bad but they need to let me add it to the widgets

@MrMonoTracer Год назад

My wife also always starts working with 21% battery charge 😂…

@GFa71 Год назад

When using the drawing tools pencil or crayon with Apple Pencil on iPad how do I draw a straight line, but not by using the line shape? In Apple notes it’s possible to hold down a drawn line to make it straight. Thanks

@KDigitalStudio Год назад

I mentioned it in the video, but they don’t have the hold to perfect feature in Freeform (yet! Not sure if it’s being added or will get this feature since you can technically use the shapes tool)

@LuisDiazArtist Год назад

Hey your other favs for amz is broken. FYI

@preciousmortel4139 Год назад

The arrow cant be moved it so hard

@jess-ez9bv Год назад

Hi I am currently struggling with the fact that every time I create a new note and I try writing with my Apple Pencil it just automatically changes to text. Does anyone know how to fix this?

@lukassury9114 Год назад

Use different pen. Not the one with letter "A" on it.

@ChrisLawley Год назад

Awesome video! 😁👍

@smileofdean Год назад

Is there any font type option to choose for textbox? it seems that I couldn’t find this feature.

@KDigitalStudio Год назад

Yes, check out the timestamps for using text. I cover choosing a font for text.

@smileofdean Год назад

@@KDigitalStudio Thank you for your response, gonna check it.

@RandallLeeReetz Год назад

contrast is so low that its almost impossible to see what you are doing on the iPad screen

@d-ski7639 Год назад

Of coarse…!

@hilaryneidhart7763 11 месяцев назад

Alas, the iPad screen is so small and so uncontrasty that I can scarecely see what is beiing discussed. The rez is not good enough to manually enlarge. Bummer, because it SEEMED like it was what I have been looking for.

@cekuhnen Год назад

it is a great app on the iPad - on the mac it is a fricken disaster because it is not adapted to common and fast macOS mouse and keyboard workflows

@michaelbobarev Год назад

Never … space … ??? Limited size of canvas …! Or what ?

@vangelina09 Год назад

I am disappointed with the paint tool… it’s unnecessarily finicky for me

@john-wiggains Год назад

They are in the description!

@divinesilence Год назад

Milanote is a much better app...lots more you can do...Apple, if you're gonna offer something, there's TONNES of apps to template off of, and improve on it...

@KDigitalStudio Год назад

I used to use Milanote. Freeform replaced it for me. Better handwriting experience in Freeform and I can add more file-types. But Milanote is still a great option!

@Stxr_G1rL. Год назад

@destudiokurse5527 Год назад

Нет поддержки давления, наклона в нейтивном приложении? В одном текстовом блоке нельзя использовать разное форматирование? - это какой-то отстой. Продавать стилус за 100 уе и не использовать его основных преимуществ... Такие себе разработчики.
