Canvio is a notes, whiteboard, PDF annotation and planning app for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Create an infinite canvas where you can write, draw, type, connect ideas, organize research, annotate PDFs, plan projects and keep everything in one flexible workspace.
CREATE YOUR OWN CANVAS
Start by creating a canvas, naming it and choosing an icon. Use an infinite canvas for open thinking, or choose structured sizes like A4, A5, Letter, iPad or a custom canvas size. Each canvas can also include multiple pages, so one project, subject or idea can stay organized in one place.
WRITE, TYPE AND CUSTOMIZE TEXT
• Double tap anywhere on the canvas to start writing quickly
• Add text with fonts, custom fonts, font size, styles and colors
• Customize text background colors, borders and strokes
• Place text anywhere and move it freely on the canvas
• Use Canvio for class notes, study notes, ideas, planning and visual thinking
DRAW WITH APPLE PENCIL
• Draw with pen, pencil, marker, highlighter and ruler tools
• Use Apple Pencil for smooth handwriting, sketching and annotation
• Draw directly on the canvas or inside separate drawing cards
• Convert handwriting or drawing text into editable text objects
• Use smart shapes to turn rough hand-drawn shapes into clean shapes
BUILD MIND MAPS, DIAGRAMS AND FLOWCHARTS
• Connect ideas with smooth connectors
• Add lines, rectangles, triangles, polygons, circles and arrows
• Create mind maps, concept maps, flowcharts and diagrams
• Add sticky notes, symbols, images and text blocks
• Organize everything with layers, grouping, multi-select, move and delete tools
PLAN PROJECTS AND TASKS
Canvio is not only for notes. It also helps you plan and organize work visually.
• Add to-dos with due dates, priority and subtasks
• Use templates for comparison, project boards, mind maps, meeting notes, weekly planning and study planning
• Build project boards, research boards, study plans and brainstorming spaces
• Keep tasks, notes, diagrams and references together on the same canvas
ANNOTATE PDFS AND DOCUMENTS
• Open PDFs page by page like a book
• Swipe or scroll through PDF pages
• Draw, highlight and write directly on PDF pages
• Extract PDF pages or content back onto your canvas
• Use PDFs together with notes, images, drawings, audio and tasks
SCAN, IMPORT AND CAPTURE IDEAS
Bring different types of content into one place instead of switching between many apps.

• Scan images and turn them into PDF-style documents
• Extract text from images using OCR

• Play audio directly from the canvas
