    We need integration between notes, freeform, reminders, and calendar. Allow us to add "blocks" from other apps and I'm all in.

    Apple needs to add folders in Freeform so that you can organise all the files
    Also search would be great too

    Awesome! I just started mind mapping on freeform and appreciate the tips! I didn't realize holding the shape would create a perfect shape. Do you know how to group items together so they're always grouped? For example the handwritten text on the note.

    🐬Great video. By the way, with the smoothed out shapes you drew with the Apple Pencil, is it possible to fill them with colour? I could change the colour of the lines making up the circles/boxes I drew, but I cannot see how to fill them with colour.

    To be honest Freeform was the initial reason why I decided to switch to Mac, but in the end I`ve discovered it lacks in features, compared to industry standard like Miro. The only advantage is offline mode.

      @@TekkitsWorkshop this is exactly the problem with these kind of stock apps. Same goes for Microsoft or Google. The first bought Whiteboards, but after that development and integration are very slow. The latter had Jamboard that was nicely integrated with Workspace, but of course they had to kill it… probably because the initial business case included dedicated hardware sales.

    Very good video explaining what can be done with FreeForm. However, I still struggle to see who this aimed at, as a drawing tool it is short on features compared to OmniGraffle and as a collaboration whiteboard tool (something you didn’t cover) it is a long way off tools like Miro

    The current method of grouping a post it note and your writing on that post it turned me off to using it.
    Most apps like this allow you to draw a circle with the spiral select tool and then tap in the center and select group.

    It needs a lot of new features to make this tool my creative choice. Apple is very slow in developing its productivity apps like Pages, Number, KeyNote and Freeform. I sometimes find that a shame. They make billions of dollars so they should invest a bit more in these kinds of apps.
