Journalling is a great way to clear your head, organise your thoughts and can really benefit your mental health. If you don’t want to dust off your old paper diary, the Day One app for Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch can help you build a multimedia journal, or even multiple journals. You can include photos and text, and the app can tag your location too, mapping where you journal. For a more authentic journalling experience on iPad, Day One will accept input from either an Apple Pencil or from a third-party device such as a Logitech Crayon. A free version is enough to get your started, but the Premium tier ($34.99/£32.99/year via in-app purchase) offers cross-device syncing, supported for unlimited journals and input via audio recording, amongst other things.…

As a student, there isn’t a much better idea than investing in an iPad. Having one of Apple’s tablets under your belt will make sure you’ve got a tool that has all the best bits of each part of the world of computing. As powerful these days as laptops, slimmer than pretty much anything else out there, and more convenient than a pen and paper, an iPad is the ultimate productivity tool. Grab a keyboard cover, and you’ve got, in essence, a touchscreen MacBook. There is an iPad for every student out there, although it can be tricky to choose one that fits your exact use case. You’ll likely have a whole host of questions and needs that need answering, most of which will probably boil down to “What model…

The main thing that prevents us being global art superstars is that we can’t draw for toffee. ShadowDraw promises to help with that. If, like us, you’ve always wanted to draw but haven’t been taught how, or if you just don’t feel really confident, it’s a great way to bring out your inner Degas or Dürer. The app is designed for absolute beginners, and it takes you step by step through the process of turning an idea into an artwork. Rather than tell you how to draw something, it shows you; you’ll see the pen or brush strokes of an artist on your iPad’s screen, and you learn how to draw by copying the artist’s own moves. Get it right and you’ll move onto the next bit; get it wrong…

First announced at WWDC 2023, iPadOS 17 is now available as a public beta. We’ve been trying it out, and while some features are in a far better shape than iPadOS 16, there’s still a way to go. For those unaware, Apple has been trying to solve the issue of multitasking on an iPad since the debut of iOS 4.2 in 2011. At first, you could switch between full-screen apps by double pressing the home button, like on an iPhone, but it wasn’t until 2015 that we got split-screen apps and slide-over. Then Stage Manager was announced as a way to solve multitasking in 2022, but instead, it arrived in a very buggy state in iPadOS 16, while its snappable grid made it frustrating to place the apps wherever you…

A ON THE AGENDA On the Agenda enables you to easily focus on the most pressing items that are on your to–do list. B PROJECTS Your projects are listed in the sidebar and can be grouped. Tapping on a project displays its notes. C CALENDAR Calendar entries and Reminders are hidden by default, but can slide out from the right. D IMAGES Notes can have thumbnail images, but full–width versions are a premium feature. There’s no shortage of note–taking apps for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. And there are plenty that sync on all three devices. But there were good reasons why Agenda: Notes Meets Calendar came top in our recent group test… It’s the only note–taking app that uses the date as a focus. That turns…
