Flow is a whole new take on the digital notebook, designed to get ideas out of your head by making it simple to draw, write and sketch as fast as you can think. Flow is designed and built by the same team behind [Timepage](/support/timepage) and [Actions](/support/actions), with the same obsessive attention to detail, bold aesthetic and playful spirit.

With infinite width or height documents, you're always just a swipe away from more space to continue drawing and writing. Flow's powerful drawing engine enables you to draw with realistic ink and pencil tools.

Flow safely stores your documents in the cloud and automatically keeps them in sync across your devices. Documents can be organized by using drag and drop to put them in Collections. Exporting a document has options for how the infinite document will be divided into pages and transparency. On iPad, you can simply drag and drop to export drawings directly to another app, including Timepage.

## Flow on the web

Flow on the web at [flowapp.bonobolabs.com](https://flowapp.bonobolabs.com) lets you view and organize your documents from any browser — browse your Collections and open any canvas once you've turned on syncing (Preferences → General → Sync with Flow web viewer). Drawing and editing stay in the iPhone and iPad app; the web is for viewing and organizing. See [Flow web viewer](/support/flow/flow-web-viewer/) for details.

## Part of Your Productivity Suite

Flow works seamlessly with other Bonobo apps:

- **[Timepage](/timepage)** - Export sketches and notes directly to calendar events
- **[Actions](/actions)** - Visualize task plans and project ideas
- **[Overlap](/overlap)** - Collaborate across time zones with global teams (free!)
- **[Get the Bundle](/bundle)** - Save 40% when you get all three premium apps (Actions, Timepage, and Flow) together

One of the best things about drawing on paper is the ease of swapping between your drawing tools; simply pick them up without breaking your flow. The customizable Tool Dock recreates this experience: create, select, and rearrange as many drawing tools as you want. Each tool remembers its color, style and weight.

With Apple Pencil, Flow brings the closest thing to a physical writing tool to your iPad. Ultra-low latency, with tilt and pressure support makes fountain pens, pencils and brushes look and feel realistic.
