## Description

Draw Pad Pro helps you capture ideas the moment they appear. Turn quick sketches into organized notebooks without slowing your flow. Build notebooks, split them into sections, and keep each sketch easy to find so you can return to your work with confidence.

From concept to final draft, it blends a fast PencilKit canvas with practical organization: add tags and captions for instant context, duplicate sketches, move them between notebooks, and share results when feedback is needed. It works offline-first with optional sync across devices, giving you a reliable, distraction-free sketch workflow for planning, studying, or designing.
