Apple unveils its new Freeform app, which is essentially a tool that works as an infinite canvas to encourage creative liberty. The medium allows users to write down any creative ideas and build upon those concepts at any time.
It is designed to work across many different devices and can be accessed on the iPhone, Macs, and iPads -- this is if they are updated to "iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, and macOS Venture 13.1 or newer." All of the projects are able to be saved on iCloud to allow users to pull from any Apple device when they want to jot ideas down. The company suggests that it is most suitable on tablets to write and draw using an Apple stylus.
