Squeeze or Double tap - palette tool using Apple Pencil

With a simple squeeze of your Apple Pencil Pro or a double tap on your Apple Pencil 2nd generation, Nebo's tools palette appears, offering quick access to essential tools. Effortlessly switch between commands like the lasso, eraser, or adjust the ink stroke thickness.

This intuitive feature keeps frequently used functions within reach, helping you stay focused and in your creative flow. Seamlessly transition from highlighting text to jotting notes in the margins, marking up a PDF, or using the lasso tool to reorganize a mind map. The new palette makes it all smooth and enhances your productivity and creativity.
