Customising Notes+ Pencil Kit to save time! 🌟

1/29 Edited to

... Read moreIf you’re someone who frequently uses Notes+ on your iPad with an Apple Pencil, customizing your Pencil Kit can be a game-changer. I used to spend a lot of time switching between pen types and adjusting settings for thickness and color, which often disrupted my workflow. By setting up multiple pens in advance—with specific thicknesses, colors, and styles—I can now switch tools instantly with a single tap. One feature I found invaluable is the ability to add the same pen option multiple times in the toolbar. For example, I set up a fine line pen and a bold highlighter several times with different colors, allowing me to annotate without constantly opening settings. This customization has saved me significant time and has made my digital notes look cleaner and more organized. The “Revealer Pen” can sometimes be a bit tricky to remove or hide if you don’t want it active all the time. From my experience, familiarizing yourself with the Pencil Kit settings and toolbar customization options helps manage this tool effectively. It’s also helpful to create separate pen categories—for example, monoline pens, fountain pens, and highlighters—to quickly find the tool you need according to your note-taking style. If you like using grid layouts or detailed annotations, customizing pen sizes to suit your preferred handwriting or drawing style helps your notes feel more natural and legible. I personally set pens at different thickness levels like 0.88, 2.9, and 6.8 points for versatile note-taking. Overall, the biggest tip is to personalize the Pencil Kit before your study sessions or work meetings so you can stay focused on content rather than tool adjustments. This proactive setup helps maintain momentum and makes your digital note-taking much more effective and satisfying. Give it a try and watch your productivity soar!
