It would be really helpful for me to just allow use of the native Pencil markup tools in iPadOS when viewing a pdf or image.

I Really NEED this idea in this app, but I have a suggestion, if you can make the drawing tool or the new feature you add, it will make me write and draw look like "Excalidraw whiteboard." This one is my favorite tool to draw and brainstorm, and if it can have something like it , smart, simple, and easy to use, it would make my life 10x better.

It would be very nice to be able to hand annotate pdfs without having to do so in other apps like goodnotes or liquidtext only to screen shot it back into capacities. Especially as a student.

Handwritten notes or to be able to draw/mark/comment on documents is an absolute must. I was looking for a Europe-based alternative on Goodnotes and such. Capacities convinced me in its concept of being much more than the other programmes on the market. However, it is a big disappointment that handwritten commenting or drawing does not work.

I spend all day at my computer - Typing all day, but once I finish working, I use my iPad & Apple Pencil. Scribbling with the Apple pencil doesn't work half the time - I would LOVE to be able to take handwritten notes. Even handwritten to text or anything.

I guess handwritten features will be launch on VR Mode. Just Kidding :)

I also support handwritten, would love use my mummy (too long using keyboard) hand that almost forgot how to write. 😂😂

Excellent for taking handwritten notes in meetings, which can then be converted to typed text.

This is getting to be a must have. I currently am using a Windows Tablet, and may be moving to an Android or Apple tablet soon. Drawing (and text capture) are just too useful in a meeting to capture ideas highlight stuff.

Native support for freehand content is a critical feature for Capacities to truly meet its goal of “the home for everything you think, learn, and create.”

White Board Support for Apple pencil.

White Board "Smart" Wire Frame feature. The "smart" features Object linking and/or tags.

Option 1 : New Object --> White Board

or

Option 2:

White Board is a seperate area that can be linked or assiated any Work Space.

Info Graph + White Board

Once A White Board is linked to a Work space the, board and it contents become active on the info graph.

This would be so good. Craft offers this and while it doesn't offer the graph view feature and powerful back linking features that Capacities does that I really enjoy, because it offers this I am considering switching.
