According to rumors, Apple is planning an update to the Freeform app in the upcoming iOS 18 and macOS 15 releases. The most interesting addition is a new feature called “Freeform Scenes”. This feature aims to improve navigation on large Freeform boards.
Freeform app “Scenes”: Enhanced organization and collaboration
First introduced as a part of iOS and macOS, the Freeform app has provided users with a flexible platform for organizing and managing various types of content. From notes and documents to images and multimedia, Freeform has served as a digital canvas for creativity and productivity.
One of the standout features of the updated Freeform app is the introduction of ‘Scenes.’ This innovative feature allows users to create customized environments tailored to specific tasks, projects, or workflows.
Here’s how Scenes are rumored to work:
- Define and Name: Carve out specific areas on your Freeform board and assign them clear, descriptive names. This makes it a breeze to jump between, say, “Market Research” and “Product Design” sections.
- Easy Navigation: No more getting lost in the digital sprawl! Scenes reportedly come with a dedicated UI element – a three-line icon that unfolds to reveal arrows for navigating between Scenes and a button for additional options. Keyboard shortcuts are also said to be in the works, offering lightning-fast switching between Scenes.
- Collaboration Made Easy: Scenes are built for teamwork. Imagine sharing a Freeform board with colleagues, each scene acting as a springboard for focused discussion and refinement. Edits and updates made within a Scene are expected to be synced seamlessly via iCloud, keeping everyone on the same page.
Privacy and security
As always, Apple prioritizes user privacy and security. The Freeform app incorporates robust encryption and privacy features to safeguard your personal information and sensitive data. Whether you’re storing confidential documents or collaborating with others, you can trust that your information is protected with industry-leading security measures.
As we eagerly anticipate the release of iOS 18 and macOS 15, the enhanced Freeform app with its innovative ‘Scenes’ feature promises to redefine how users organize, collaborate, and interact with their digital content.
