Freeform is a digital whiteboarding app available on iOS, iPadOS, and macOS that was launched in December 2022. It is a powerful new app designed for creative collaboration that provides a flexible canvas across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, bringing conversation topics, content, and ideas all into one place. Freeform helps users organize and visually lay out content on a flexible canvas, giving them the ability to see, share, and collaborate all in one place without worrying about layouts or page sizes. Here are some key features of Freeform:
-
Infinitely scalable canvas: Freeform uses what Apple calls "boards" as infinitely scaling canvases, with a grid background that you can toggle on and off.
-
Support for a wide range of files: Users can add a wide range of files and preview them inline without ever leaving the board, including photos, drawings, links, and files.
-
Collaboration capabilities: Freeform has been designed as a collaboration tool, and you can share Freeform boards with other iPhone and iPad users. All Freeform board participants can work on the same board, adding images, texts, links, and more.
-
Built-in privacy and security protections: Freeform includes built-in privacy and security protections, such as the ability to sign in with passkeys or Apple ID, automatically fill in strong passwords, and share passkeys and passwords securely with AirDrop.
Freeform is a free app that comes pre-installed on every iPhone, iPad, and Mac supporting iOS 16.2, iPadOS 16.2, or macOS Ventura 13.1.
