Useful Tips: - Add Layers: If you want to draw on another drawing or a photo - add a layer and draw on it. The new layer is placed under the first one, and you draw on top. - Working with Layers: Only the layer you have opened for drawing remains active for drawing, adding photos, or text. Drawings on other layers will not be accidentally spoiled. - Adjust Layers: In multi-layer compositions, you can select the desired layer and make it invisible. Adjust transparency, allowing for drawing similar to using tracing paper. - Long Press: Press and hold an interface element to see a menu with a selection of actions for that element. - How to Rename a Drawing on the Main Screen: Long press on the drawing icon, and you will see a menu with the command to rename or delete the drawing. - How to Add a Photo Fragment from the Photo Library or Another Open App: Use the built-in Apple “drag and drop” feature. - How to Configure Photos and Photo Fragments on the Drawing Screen: Apply a long touch to the selected photo and choose the desired action for configuring it (delete, move, rotate, scale, freeze). - How to Manage Text on the Drawing Screen: Apply a long touch to the selected text and choose the desired action for managing it (freeze/unfreeze, select font style, delete). - Freeze/Unfreeze: Apply this action to a photo or text after you have finished working with it to prevent accidental modifications. - If You Don’t See the Drawing Tool Palette on the Screen: Check the active layer, go to the layer selection screen and back. - The Drawing Field is Very Large: Add many sketches, notes, photo compositions in one drawing; move around the field by dragging and zooming with a two-finger touch. I Can Sketch – Your Reliable Partner in the World of Creativity and Organization. Download the app and let I Can Sketch transform your ideas into works of art, plans, and organized records, opening new possibilities for your creativity and productivity.

Meet Hypermonkey, a gamified productivity app built for ADHD minds. We know your brain doesn’t work like everyone else’s — and that most productivity tools weren't built with you in mind. Hypermonkey is designed to work with your brain, improve your executive dysfunction, and help you focus, plan, and follow through in a way that actually feels doable and fun. Key features we have: - Data Privacy: No sign-ups or sign-ins needed. All your data belongs to you and stays on your phone. - Smart Task Assists: Break down tasks into small, actionable subtasks, prioritize them, or get task suggestions if you don't know where to start. You can even use your voice to update your tasks! - Pomodoro: Stay productive using the Pomodoro technique — either work for custom focus intervals followed by short and long breaks or start a stopwatch. - Yap Zone: Brain-dump your thoughts before they spiral out of control and convert them to tasks. - Habits Tracker: Build routines that actually stick. Small, steady wins — one habit at a time. - Hypermonkey Friends: Invite your friends to shared Pomodoro's and habits so you can keep each other accountable. - Personalized Nudges: Get gentle, personalized reminders to keep you on track. - Reminders, Todoist, & TickTick Integration: Import your existing reminders from your device seamlessly into Hypermonkey. - Dashboard: Track your productivity patterns, task completion rate, etc. and see how much progress you’ve made over time. Understand more about your dominant ADHD productivity monkeys and how they affect you. - Daily Banana: Earn a daily banana by engaging with us! It shows your consistency (; - Sticker Shop: Reward yourself with some stickers of our mascots with your hard-earned bananas! Our ultimate goal is to understand your productivity patterns and turn your to-do lists into done lists. With the features above, we want to make it as intuitive and frictionless as possible for you to capture and execute ideas. Also, we believe that each ADHD mind has 6 monkeys living inside them that show up when they're trying to get things done! If you're interested in learning about your dominant ADHD productivity monkey and want to see how we can help, check out this fun little quiz we've put together: https://hrdzhy5q7gq.typeform.com/to/Ranq1V6n! It's always free to use Hypermonkey, but you can also upgrade to Pro to enjoy all of our powerful features. Upgrade to Pro by subscribing for $4.99/mo or $39.99/year, or pay for lifetime access at $69.99.
