The Whiteboard App always adheres to the concept of "simplicity to the extreme" and "Nothing more Nothing less". Despite offering many small tools, its interface remains simple and user-friendly. This app is suitable for various scenarios, including teaching, creativity, meeting presentations, prototype design, and learning drafts, among others. It provides users with a variety of universally applicable paper formats, objects, and prototype designs to choose from. It also offers instant drawing of geometric shapes, making teaching, creativity, and on-site communication more convenient. Additionally, it can be used for students' homework drafts, doodling, note-taking, temporary notepads, word dictation, and math problems, among other purposes. Users highly praise its simple and easy-to-use button layout and tool exit mechanism. The app offers two forms of creating new files, allowing users to choose the one that suits them best: - The first form is a multi-page file (Pages), where each page serves as a canvas with size limitations, similar to a PDF file. This makes it easy to organize knowledge. - The second form is a free-form file (Free Form), where a file consists of one infinitely large canvas without boundaries. This allows for unlimited creativity. The app also supports direct import of PDF files, even large files with hundreds or thousands of pages, without crashing. It opens instantly. Features: - Small storage space - Simple operation - Clean interface - Quick startup - Rich functionality Welcome to download and experience the Whiteboard App as soon as possible!

About

BlankAway

Features

BlankAway finds the blank or nearly blank pages that duplex scanners leave behind and removes them in one tap. Scanner "blank" pages are rarely empty: dust, shadows, grey paper, punch holes and streaks fool simple tools. This app looks for meaningful content instead, so it clears real blanks while protecting page numbers, signatures, stamps, faint pencil notes and table lines. Anything borderline is shown for you to decide. • Choose a PDF from Files, iCloud Drive or any provider • Pick Safe, Normal or Aggressive detection • Review every detected page as a thumbnail before removing it • Pages you keep are untouched — no re-compression, no quality loss • Save or share the cleaned PDF anywhere Private by design: your PDF never leaves your device. No account, no upload, no analytics. Free: scan any PDF and export up to 3 PDFs of 30 pages or fewer. A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited use. No subscription.
