If you’ve purchased an iPad and an Apple Pencil, you’re in for a seamless note-taking experience with Nebo. Designed for your convenience, Nebo offers a range of features that make the most out of your Apple Pencil's capabilities.
Depending on your Apple Pencil model, Nebo supports the following functionalities:
1. Pressure Sensitivity – For precise strokes and line variations.
2. Hover – An intuitive way to preview where your pen will land.
3. Double-Tap to Change Tools – Quickly switch between tools for efficient workflow.
4. Squeeze – A customizable action for additional control.
5. Haptic Feedback – Enhanced tactile response for a more engaging experience.
You can find a detailed overview of the features Nebo supports for each Apple Pencil model:
Pressure sensitivity:
The pressure sensitivity settings can be found just below the pen thickness option in the pen tool pop-up. You can easily adjust it using a slider for a customized drawing or writing experience.
Hover:
The tools supported include:
- Pen with various stroke options
- Eraser
- Highlighter
When one of these tools is selected and the pen approaches the screen, the hover feature activates. A preview of the pen tip appears on the canvas, reflecting the selected tool.
This preview is temporary and will not be added to the canvas. It disappears when the pen moves far enough from the screen.
The preview accurately represents the shape, color, and thickness of the selected tool. For the highlighter, the preview also displays the final opacity of its color.
Note: While Nebo doesn’t offer an in-app setting to disable the Hover feature, you can easily manage this functionality through the iOS settings on your device.
Haptic feedback:
The pen provides haptic feedback in the following scenarios:
- When rotating a shape or line, and it aligns with one of its sides.
- When a line or arrow snaps to a shape. However, no haptic feedback occurs if the line or arrow is moved and snaps to notable points afterward.
- When line connectors are rotated every 90 degrees.
- When a shape is beautified.
Notes:
1. No haptic feedback is provided when unsnapping a line or arrow.
2. While Nebo doesn’t offer an in-app setting to disable the Haptic feature, you can easily manage this functionality through the iOS settings on your device.
