App Updates, Return to Craft, Rock Paper Pencil Check-In

Jeff and Tom discuss new apps and a return to an old writing companion, as well as update their experience with iPad screen covers.

• NotchNook: Making the most of your Mac's notch, even if it doesn't have one!
• Shareshot: An easy way to share screenshots with style. Fantastic utility!
• Tom revisits his note-taking journey and explains why Craft is again becoming his go-to app despite Bear's simplicity. The discussion touches on the practical reasons for his switch, from a seamless organization with subpages to a better writing experience with Apple Pencil.
• Months after trying out Rock Paper Pencil, Jeff and Tom share their long-term impressions. Has the friction-style writing experience held up?
