The Apple Pencil Pro introduces two innovative features that are already compatible with Goodnotes: Squeeze and Barrel Roll.
Requirements
- Apple Pencil Pro and a supported iPad.
- Goodnotes v6.3.25 or later.
- iPadOS 17.5 or later.
Show the Palette with Squeeze
The Squeeze function enables the Apple Pencil Pro to sense pressure when pressed on its sides.
In Goodnotes, you can squeeze on your Apple Pencil Pro to trigger the Palette, making note-taking much more efficient. This floating toolbar allows you to seamlessly switch between tools (pen, highlighter, etc.), adjust stroke color and thickness, all without interrupting your flow.
Dynamic Ink for the fountain pen
The Barrel Roll feature enhances the Apple Pencil Pro by allowing it to respond uniquely to rotation. This feature adds a new level of control for artists, designers, note-takers, and anyone using the Apple Pencil Pro for creative or productive tasks.
Goodnotes makes good use of this feature. While using the Fountain Pen style with React to Pen Rotation enabled, you can rotate the Apple Pencil Pro to achieve different stroke variations.
