Concepts: an infinite, flexible creative tool for all your good ideas. Available on iOS, Windows and Android.

The new Concepts 6 for iOS has exciting new features, including a modernized canvas interface, a freshly structured, easier to use gallery that integrates with the iOS Files app, and RGB and HSL color options added to its already extensive Copic color palettes.

Concept’s infinite canvas lets you spread out and sketch in any direction. Draw and take notes with liquid pens, markers and brushes in your favorite colors.

Everything you draw in Concepts is a flexible vector, so you can move your notes around the canvas, or change their color, tool or size — with simple gestures.

Drag+drop images onto the canvas, and use layers and grids to organize your creative space.

When you’re ready to share, export straight to your friends or team.
