If you're not already using the Freeform app, you absolutely should be.

It is one of Apple's best new-ish apps.

It's the perfect complement to Apple Notes

because it fills in a lot of the gaps for things that Apple Notes just doesn't do well,

especially when it comes to the Apple Pencil.

I like to think of Freeform as a digital whiteboard that I now have access to across all of my Apple devices.

So anytime I just need a blank canvas to work something out on a whiteboard,

maybe a flow chart, a vision board,

some mind mapping, Freeform is now my app of choice.

So this is what the app looks like and when you open it up it looks pretty similar to Apple Notes.

So you have your side panel on the left,

all of your boards here on the right.

You can change the view of the boards if you rather see them as tiles or as the list.

The side panel I will say I find lacking.

There's not a lot of organization options in Freeform like we're used to in Apple Notes.

I would love to be able

to create folders to organize my boards or add tags things like

that

so hopefully those are added as they continue to build out

this app there's unfortunately not even a way to pin the board would love to do

that really all you can do is favorite it

and then it puts it in a separate favorite category here

but so

when you open a board for the first time this is

what it looks like it's pretty much just an infinite blank

space for you to use however you want you can zoom out you can zoom all the way in.

You'll see the little dots if you can see that will get bigger as you zoom in.

But if you don't like the dots and you find them distracting,

you can always press this button down in the bottom right to get rid of them.

In the toolbar at the top,

your first tool is the Apple Pencil.

And this is pretty familiar,

so you can just click it and then start writing the way you're used to.

It'll auto-refine your handwriting if you have that turned on.

And all the Apple Pencil tricks will still work.

So you can do a shape,

hold it to snap to shape,

just to clean your writing up a little bit more.

And one of my favorite things is that in freeform,

there's no limitations on the Apple Pencil or what you can do with it like there are in Apple Notes.

In Notes, you can only use the pencil in certain areas.

You can't use it over type text.

It can be super frustrating.

So thankfully in freeform, you can use the Apple Pencil really however you want.

And now there's no tool up here for a ruler,

which I do find can be helpful at times if I'm sketching something out.

But as one of your Apple Pencil tools,

you do have access to the ruler here.

So you can always just use that if you're trying to draw something super precise.

It can be incredibly helpful depending on what you're trying to do here.

The next item on the toolbar is just a plain text box that you can use.

After that you have your shapes menu with lines,

icons, a whole bunch here.

You can always press browse content hub to see even more like if you wanted to see images,

backgrounds, or even generate your own image.

Now that is an Apple intelligence feature

so some of these might be behind a paywall for Apple's creator studio subscription

but any of shapes or some of the more basic options will be available for free.

So I can select any of the shapes,

I can move it around, make it bigger, smaller.

If you're using your Apple Pencil like I am to select and move things around but it's not working,

instead it's just always writing for you,

head on over to settings and just search for freeform and then your Apple Pencil,

make sure it's turned on to select and scroll.

If this is not on,

every time you use the Apple Pencil,

it'll draw a line and then

if i tap on the shape it'll open a little menu here at the top

so i can do things like change the color

or i can say no fill

and instead add a border around it make the border thicker

and then i can use the handles to make it bigger whenever you have a shape

if you double tap in the center you can actually start writing on the shape

and when you move it around that writing will stay with it.

And because this is freeform and not Apple Notes,

I can also zoom out and keep zooming out

and you'll see now the space I was working in is super small

so like a whiteboard if I wanted to leave that space alone for now and start working on something else

I could come here add a sticky note same thing

if I click on it I get the menu I can change the color

and maybe I want to leave myself a note to remember to do something

so I can double tap to type text if I wanted to

or with the Apple Pencil selected I can even write something out on top of that.

So there's no limitations in freeform like there are in Apple Notes which I really love.

Then the next option is to add a table

and at first it might look a little basic

and it kind of is but there are some cool things you can do here.

So you can use the plus buttons to of course add columns and rows.

You can use that menu that pops up to do things like fix the borders,

the color of your table if you want to change the color of the entire thing,

or what you can do is just select an individual box to change the color of that box,

or if you look for the little three dots that appears to select a column,

you can change the color of an entire column.

If select one of the boxes you can also adjust the formatting for the text

so you can change the size the alignment added as a list the color

or even change the font of the text in an individual box

so there is quite a bit of customization options

that i like here

if ever you do want to select the entire table instead

100

of an individual box you can just press the little circle in the top left

101

to select the entire table and then get the table menu down here.

102

And again

103

if we zoom out here you'll see the Apple Pencil work

104

we did initially on the left with this new section and I can zoom in to even start a third.

105

So if I press this paper clip this is where you can add a lot of your own media.

106

So you can add a photo or video directly onto the board or take a new one,

107

add your own stickers, you can upload files,

108

or even add a link here.

109

So if we go over to some of my boards,

110

and let's go to my furniture board.

111

So you'll see all these little tiles with furniture I like for the living room.

112

These are all things I've linked out to.

113

So if I click on it and press the little I,

114

it'll bring me directly to this website.

115

And so instead of having to click in here to copy this link and paste it on the board,

116

what you can do is if you hit the share button,

117

let me go over to ikea let's say this i hit

118

the share button i'll swipe over until i see freeform

119

if you don't see it go all the way to the right hit more

120

and just edit this list to bring freeform up

121

so in my case it's right here i'm going to select freeform i'm going to choose

122

which board i want to add this to

123

so i'm going to add it to furniture hit save now

124

if i go back to the board I'll have to zoom out a little bit.

125

It's going to add it to a random spot,

126

usually on the right hand side,

127

and then I can just select it and bring it over to,

128

in this case, my kitchen section.

129

So super easy to do.

130

And this is a perfect example of what Freeform is useful for.

131

So I can create these little headers from the shapes.

132

All I did was go here,

133

select that shape, added all of my links to different furniture for that room,

134

added a post-it note to remind myself to do something,

135

use the apple pencil to draw it's awesome now

136

when i'm done looking at the living room

137

if i want to get over to a separate room let's

138

say the kitchen i can manually drag to get over

139

but down here you have the option of creating different scenes

140

and then i can use these arrows to just go through my different scenes

141

so this is one of probably my favorite features for freeform

142

because the canvas is so endless

143

and large it's super handy to have quick access to different parts of the board

144

if you're working on different things in different areas and

145

so what you would do is just bring on your screen whatever you want the scene to be.

146

So it's basically just going to take a snapshot of this entire screen.

147

I can just click that button to hit add scene and then it takes it as a snapshot.

148

When I click on the list I can edit it so I can tap into any to rename it.

149

I can use the little handles on the right to rearrange them or of course delete a scene from the left.

150

And then you can use the three dots in the top left

151

if you wanted to print your scenes or export them as a PDF

152

or if you only want to do that to an individual scene,

153

use the three dots here to see the same options for that one individual scene.

154

Freeform can also definitely be useful for certain class notes,

155

not one where I would have to type a lot.

156

For that I'd still use Apple Notes,

157

but if I just needed like a notepad or a scratch pad to write out some formulas,

158

sketch something out, this is definitely where I would do that.

159

And you can also really easily make these flowcharts or mind mapping if you need to do that.

160

So you just add a shape from here,

161

drag it wherever you need to,

162

and you'll see as I move this around there's a faint yellow line that appears.

163

If you want to turn those guidelines on,

164

just hit the three dots here in the top right,

165

go to alignment settings and then turn on whichever one you want.

166

So edge guides can be helpful.

167

Snap to grid can also be helpful if you're using a lot of images.

168

So you can just play with those settings here.

169

And then as you go to move something,

170

you'll see all of those guidelines appear.

171

But so let's say I wanted this shape to go here.

172

Now I can just go back to the shape,

173

grab a line and add it to connect the two.

174

But instead, if I turn on this button down here,

175

the connectors on button

176

and then I want to connect it let's say to this one I can just use this arrow

177

that appears to drag it to this new shape I can click

178

and add another arrow this way

179

and then it'll actually prompt me to select a new shape

180

and you can just really quickly keep going and connecting everything

181

that way you turn it off

182

and then you no longer see those little arrows to add a connection

183

but you can resize the shape however you need to

184

so this connectors on button can be really helpful if you are building out a flow chart like this.

185

And as you move the shape,

186

the lines will move with it.

187

And then same as how you can change the color or the borders of the shapes,

188

you can click on the lines and do the same.

189

So I can use this menu to make it a dotted line.

190

I can make it thicker,

191

change the color of the line.

192

You can also click to change how the line ends.

193

And this third option here is the connection style.

194

So you can even make it a curve line

195

and use the little green button in the middle if you just need to drag to move that around.

196

So there definitely is a lot of customization you can do even to these flowcharts that make it super useful.

197

And if you go to the three dots,

198

you can turn on math results.

199

So I leave it on suggest results instead of insert.

200

So now if I were to go and write out an equation and use the equal sign,

201

it'll give me an option to solve and input the answer like that.

202

Now, if you are in a class where you have to type out a lot of your notes and you do that,

203

let's say in Apple Notes,

204

you can add them to this same board so that you can reference your notes as you're sketching something out or

205

creating whatever you're doing.

206

So what you would do is go into Apple Notes,

207

find the note you want to add,

208

hit that share button and just look for freeform.

209

Pick the right board, hit save,

210

and then when you go into freeform,

211

it's going to add it as text.

212

So it'll just be the text of your note basically that you're adding here.

213

But you can click in to edit your notes if you still need to do that.

214

It'll just work like as if you've added a text box to the board.

215

The other option, if you want to have it as a text box is to add a PDF

216

or even a pages document,

217

some sort of file, to this board.

218

So whether it's maybe reading for the class or additional materials,

219

anything you do want handy,

220

you can add that as a file here to the board.

221

Now sometimes your class notes are multiple pages in Apple Notes

222

and you rather add it this way you would first just have to export the note.

223

So you would just save it to files and then you can import it into this board here.

224

And to view it, you would just click,

225

use the little eye icon to open it up to see all of your pages of notes here.

226

And you can also do the reverse.

227

So if you're using freeform as let's say scratch paper for your one of your courses,

228

you can add this freeform board to your Apple notes.

229

So again, you would just go to the share button.

230

In this case, you would switch it from collaborate to send copy and then just find Apple Notes,

231

add it to the note,

232

or even add it to Apple Reminders.

233

If you wanted to set a deadline to remember to keep working on the board or something like that,

234

you can just select Reminders from here.

235

Another useful way to use Freeform is for travel.

236

So this road trip, I just added a map of Costa Rica

237

and then I was able to use my Apple Pencil to kind of write out our route

238

and then on the left here add some type text

239

so this can be another use case

240

that is not as easy to do in apple notes now

241

another thing i want to point out are the great collaboration features for these freeform boards

242

because oftentimes you do need someone else's input

243

when you're working on a few of these things so any boards

244

that you have shared with someone you'll see in the menu there'll be a little message bubble

245

and it'll say who it is shared with so

246

if i go in here i've made like a digital scrapbook

247

which i I actually think is another great use case for Freeform if that's something you're into.

248

So I've added a map,

249

a whole bunch of photos from the trip.

250

Another great thing is through this paperclip icon is I could scan documents.

251

So if I did want to add any receipts or anything like that,

252

I could quickly do it that way.

253

And so you'll see at the top here the icon for anyone you've shared this board with

254

and you would share it just through the share button like you normally would.

255

Make sure it's on collaborate and then you could message,

256

airdrop, email the person, a link to the board.

257

Then on my other device here

258

if I were to go into Freeform I have this same board and you'll see it says that I've joined this board.

259

So if I were to click in on my phone

260

and move anything around you'll see I'll be able to see on my iPad

261

that this person is moving this around live in real time right now.

262

I happen to be sharing it with myself on a different account but if it were someone else

263

you'll be able to see everything they are doing.

264

But then if I click on their icon,

265

there's some other great options here.

266

So there's quick options to message them or even start a video call

267

if I want to be able to see them to discuss what we're working on together.

268

If you click on the three dots here,

269

you can actually choose to follow along.

270

So if I select follow along,

271

when the person is working,

272

if they move the board,

273

go to a different scene,

274

zoom in, it's going to do the exact same thing on my board.

275

I'll be able to follow along to exactly what they're doing.

276

I can click stop if I no longer want to do that.

277

Or the other option here was jump to location.

278

So if this is a massive board you're all working on,

279

you're responsible for one section,

280

but you want to jump to the section that they're working on,

281

you can just click jump to location to bring you over to that side of the board.

282

And if ever you wanted to export an entire board,

283

you can just click on the little arrow here,

284

export it as a pdf,

285

print it, and this is also where you can rename the individual board.

286

So if you're not already using Freeform,

287

I highly recommend you give it a try even if it's only

288

because you're frustrated by some of the limitations in Apple Notes.

289

If you are using it,

290

let me know what you use it for most and that's it,

291

so have a great day.

292

Bye!
