The Iconfactory is releasing Linea Sketch 2.1 today, which includes a new custom color picker and color sets, productivity and web design templates, and a new way to support future app development.
Here’s a rundown of the latest features in the well-reviewed drawing and writing app for iPad:

- Type in hex colors to match a color from a web site or other design
- Slider to adjust lightness or darkness of a color

Color Sets – Customize the palettes of colors you use in Linea
- Tap the Color Sets icon at the top of the palette to access options
- Each of the three palettes can have its own color set

Latency has also been reduced when using pencil and pen tools, and Linea Sketch’s tool size indicators now show what colors are being used. The update also includes fixes for saving orientation when moving portrait-oriented documents as well as visual improvements.
And finally, Linea Sketch is introducing a new Tip Jar feature that lets users support future development without relying on a subscription model:
Developing new features is expensive. Now you can contribute beyond your initial purchase to help fund future updates with the Tip Jar. It’s a subscription-free way to show your love for Linea Sketch.
- Donate at any time using the Tip Jar item in the Settings view
- Tipping is optional and reminders are only displayed after new features have been added
Linea Sketch 2.1 is a free update for existing customers and $4.99 on the App Store. Highly recommended for iPad users with Apple Pencil.
