Mons, Belgium - Creaceed is pleased to release Inko 2.0, a major upgrade to their collaborative whiteboard app for iPad, iPhone, Mac, and Apple TV. Inko 2.0 brings collaborative drawing over the Internet as well as a new Mac Catalyst app. This release also comes with an updated user interface and support for modern iOS features such as high-performance Metal rendering, Dark Mode, and Smart Screenshots.
Inko lets multiple users draw together on the same virtual whiteboard with instant feedback. This makes it a great tool for schools and businesses alike as Inko can be used during meetings, brainstorming sessions and school group work. Inko also offers a remarkable drawing experience through its extensive support for Apple Pencil, as well as a beautiful pixel-free visualization with vibrant colors on wide color displays (P3). Inko's peer-to-peer connectivity makes infrastructure network or internet access superfluous, offering a one-tap setup process that permits easy deployment in any environment. Moreover, Inko 2.0 now offers remote drawing over the Internet, bringing richer interactions with people from other places or even all around the world.
Macs can now also join other iOS devices thanks to Inko's new Mac Catalyst app. Combined with video conferencing, Inko 2.0 is thus a key tool for remote collaboration, group work, or 1-to-1 teaching. The free Apple TV companion app enables live mirroring of contents on large displays, up to 4K, at a fraction of the cost of dedicated interactive whiteboards by reusing standard multi-purpose equipment (tablets, TVs), and it also offers innovative interaction with the remote as a laser pointer.
New features in 2.0:
* Remote collaboration over the Internet to draw with anyone around the world
* A Mac Catalyst app that brings the Inko experience to the Mac. Join or create a drawing group using your Mac, along with iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV

* Remote Collaboration: seamless connectivity over the Internet for global reach via invitation link sharing
* Up to 8 participants for peer-to-peer connectivity or 12 participants for LAN/Internet
