FILES & FOLDERS, NEW DESIGN, NEW BRANDING
Concepts is turning 10 years old (already!), and we're excited to share our latest with you: a new folder-based Gallery, a more efficient Canvas, new Color options, and all new branding.
Thanks to your continuous support and feedback, Concepts is actively growing and evolving. As we enter our sixth-generation design phase, we hope you'll appreciate our commitment to exploration, flexibility, and your creative pursuits. We think our new logo and style reflect that, and we're glad to have you on this journey.
Completely rewritten, the Gallery is now optimized for file and folder-based workflows, interchange with the Files app, and ready for our final push towards iCloud sync.
The Canvas now adapts more efficiently to your drawing workflow. We hope you appreciate how key interactions are more fluid and less hidden.
As a special birthday gift to you, we've added not one, but two new color systems!
Lots of little things:
Please note that you'll need iOS 15 or greater to run this update.
Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement thus far, and keep it coming! We're glad you're here with us. Tune in to @ConceptsApp on your favorite channel for updates, drawing tips, and regular inspiration.
