Freeform & Infinite Canvas App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — 无边记 & Whiteboard zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS and iPadOS developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Already ship a whiteboard, infinite canvas, or Freeform-style board product that markets pan-and-zoom canvases, sticky boards, collaborative sessions, spatial sketches, or team brainstorming boards on the en-US product page and in screenshot galleries
• Sell productivity, design, or collaboration apps where buyers sketch, brainstorm, and arrange ideas on an open canvas — not corner-swipe Quick Note capture, diary prompts, notebook folders, or document browser workflows
• Finished board and canvas UX in the binary — not looking for PencilKit, FreeformKit, Collaboration APIs, CloudKit sync, or infinite-canvas rendering engineering help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on whiteboard gallery frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an engineer for canvas SDKs, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch, not Connect configuration on your account

If your lead feature is organized notebooks and folders — not an open canvas — see Notes listing (zh-Hans). If you market Apple Journal or reflective diary prompts — not boards — see Journal listing (zh-Hans). If your screenshots lead with corner-swipe Quick Note capture, see Quick Note listing. If Apple Pencil Scribble handwriting is the lead — not collaborative whiteboard sessions — see Apple Pencil listing. If your gallery frames show Math Notes or solve-as-you-write equations, see Math Notes listing. If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Whiteboard engineering vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume infinite-canvas capability covers storefront language. Xcode, entitlements, and Connect actually separate in-app board features from product-page copy:

• PencilKit, FreeformKit & canvas rendering — in-app code that draws strokes, places sticky notes, and pans an infinite canvas. Controls whether boards render and sync. Does not generate Chinese listing text. AppLocale does not implement this.
• Collaboration & CloudKit board sync — real-time cursors, shared sessions, and board persistence in your binary. Separate from the zh-Hans description paragraph that explains whiteboard value to China buyers browsing the App Store.
• Sticky-board layout & spatial sketch UI — board chrome, shape tools, and zoom gestures in your app. Listing copy should match what screenshots actually show — not promise Apple Freeform iCloud sync when your gallery only shows local whiteboards.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China App Store. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, screenshots, and caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of board features in the binary.

Working whiteboard features in the binary and a localized China listing are both required when you sell on the China storefront — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe infinite canvas, sticky boards, and collaborative sketch workflows on the product page in zh-Hans, not how you implement PencilKit, FreeformKit, or CloudKit sync.

Freeform listing copy is not Notes, Journal, Quick Note, Apple Pencil, or Math Notes

Productivity and design apps blur several surfaces indie teams conflate. AppLocale covers listing metadata only — whiteboard and infinite-canvas marketing on the product page:

• Freeform-style boards & infinite canvas (this page) — pan-and-zoom whiteboards, sticky boards, collaborative cursors, spatial sketches, team brainstorming layouts, and open-canvas ideation — the dedicated board experience.
• Notes app & notebooks (different) — folders, tags, sticky notes in a note library, locked notes, and organized memo workflows. See Notes listing guide — not infinite-canvas board copy.
• Journal & diary (different) — daily journal entries, reflective prompts, gratitude journaling. See Journal listing guide — not 白板 whiteboard marketing.
• Quick Note & capture-to-note (different) — corner swipe, Add to Quick Note from Share sheet, fleeting capture while staying in another app. See Quick Note listing guide — not collaborative board copy.
• Apple Pencil & Scribble (different) — stylus handwriting input, Works with Apple Pencil, Scribble text conversion — not collaborative whiteboard sessions as the lead. See Apple Pencil listing guide — not infinite-canvas collaboration as the lead.
• Math Notes (different) — handwritten equations that solve, Calculator Math Notes, solve-as-you-write math. See Math Notes listing guide — not spatial sketch boards as the lead.
• Files & document browser (different) — browse folders, open documents, and file-provider workflows. Not covered on this page — separate scope with different screenshot vocabulary.

Your screenshots may show a sticky board beside a collaboration cursor panel. Listing copy should name the correct claim per frame — an "Infinite canvas" badge is not a Notes folder tree, not a Journal prompt card, not a Quick Note corner swipe, not a Scribble handwriting demo unless that is what the frame shows, and not a Math Notes equation solver unless that is what the frame shows.

Apple system Freeform vs your app's whiteboard marketing — listing honesty

Apple ships Freeform on iOS and iPadOS — infinite canvas, sticky notes on boards, shapes, connectors, and collaborative sessions across devices. Third-party board apps often market custom whiteboards, team brainstorming boards, sticky-board layouts, spatial sketch canvases, or industry-specific infinite canvases. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:

• If your app complements Apple Freeform — zh-Hans copy can describe infinite canvas, sticky boards, or collaborative sessions your binary actually supports without claiming to replace Apple Freeform or iCloud board sync unless your English listing already states that accurately.
• If your app is a team whiteboard or brainstorming tool — description and screenshot overlays should name the board model you ship (白板, 无限画布, 协作白板, 贴纸板) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "replace Apple Freeform" overclaims.
• If your US page mentions iCloud or sync — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent Apple Freeform iCloud parity or full board-editor scope beyond what your screenshots and description support.
• If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not broaden board scope beyond what your listing already claims.

Clear zh-Hans copy helps collaboration and design buyers understand whether your app offers infinite canvas, sticky boards, or multi-user sessions before install. It does not replace PencilKit implementation, FreeformKit integration, CloudKit sync engineering, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not certify system-Freeform parity.

What China buyers see when zh-Hans whiteboard copy is missing

Board and canvas apps often lead marketing screenshots with infinite-canvas demos, sticky-board layouts, collaboration cursors, or spatial sketch frames — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside whiteboard UI:

• Screenshot overlay badges — "Freeform", "Infinite canvas", "Whiteboard", "Sticky board", "Collaborate on boards", "Spatial sketch", "Brainstorm together", "Pan and zoom" on gallery frames
• Description paragraphs — English value props about open-canvas ideation, team brainstorming, or spatial sketching that China readers skim past
• Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 无边记, 白板, 无限画布, 协作白板, or 贴纸板 when buyers filter for whiteboard apps
• Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching infinite canvas in English above the description
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but whiteboard screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 for board terms (白板 vs 无限画布 vs 无边记 vs 贴纸板) and wrong phrasing that does not match how Chinese buyers describe whiteboard apps on store pages

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps collaboration, design, and productivity buyers understand your whiteboard story before install. It does not replace PencilKit APIs, FreeformKit integration, CloudKit sync, or Apple's review decisions — and it does not guarantee board sync behavior on every device model.

What AppLocale delivers for Freeform and whiteboard apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Freeform-style board and infinite-canvas marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:

• Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal whiteboard or infinite-canvas value to China searchers
• Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference 白板 or 无限画布 without stuffing raw English badge text
• Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 无边记, 白板, 无限画布, 协作白板, 贴纸板, and whiteboard apps in your category
• Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on board workflows you already ship — without English-only "Freeform" jargon
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show infinite canvas, whiteboard strokes, sticky boards, collaboration cursors, or spatial sketches
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on whiteboard promises

We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Freeform, infinite canvas, whiteboard, sticky boards, collaborative boards, or spatial sketches — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent Apple Freeform clone or iCloud board sync capabilities your app does not ship.

Whiteboard-specific listing vocabulary — what translates differently

Infinite-canvas marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general utility guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese buyers describe whiteboard apps — not a literal paste of US marketing:

无边记 vs 白板 vs 无限画布 vs 协作白板 vs 贴纸板

US pages use "Freeform", "Whiteboard", "Infinite canvas", "Sticky board", or "Collaborative board". China storefront copy often uses 无边记 when buyers search for Apple Freeform–style boards, 白板 for general whiteboard apps, 无限画布 for pan-and-zoom canvas products, 协作白板 for multi-user sessions, or 贴纸板 for sticky-note-on-board layouts — depending on whether you mean Apple-style boards, team brainstorming, or sticky-board ideation. AppLocale aligns phrasing with your actual board scope.

Collaboration cursors vs notebook organization

Screenshot galleries often label board features: infinite canvas zoom (无限画布), sticky boards (贴纸板), collaborative cursors (协作), and spatial sketches (空间草图). These signal open-canvas ideation — different from Notes folder trees, Journal prompt cards, Quick Note corner swipe, or Math Notes equation frames. Match the board model your English listing and screenshots actually show.

Pan-and-zoom canvas vs stylus handwriting lead

Some apps market Apple Pencil drawing on a whiteboard — but the lead is the infinite canvas or collaborative session, not Scribble text conversion. Listing copy should distinguish board collaboration from Apple Pencil handwriting marketing unless your English page already makes Scribble the lead feature — see Apple Pencil listing when stylus input is the primary story.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need whiteboard search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 无边记, 白板, 无限画布, 协作白板, and 贴纸板 each signal different intent from generic productivity keywords or 备忘录 Notes terms.

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Infinite canvas" or "Collaborate on boards" headlines on gallery frames — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.

What good zh-Hans whiteboard listing copy looks like

Freeform and whiteboard copy appears on screenshot galleries and in description skims. Strong Chinese strings lead with the canvas benefit and state scope plainly — paste-ready examples for Connect fields:

• Subtitle (example) — 无限画布，团队随时协作 — infinite-canvas collaboration benefit within the ~30-character cap
• Keywords (example) — 无边记,白板,无限画布,协作白板,贴纸板 — only when accurate to your feature set
• Screenshot overlay (example) — 在无限画布上自由头脑风暴 — whiteboard frame with clear benefit line
• Description paragraph (example) — plain zh-Hans list of board workflows you ship — infinite canvas pan-and-zoom, sticky boards, collaborative cursors, spatial sketches, cross-device sync — matching what you actually implemented
• Honest scope — do not claim "replace Apple Freeform" in Chinese if your app only markets a local sketch pad or single-user whiteboard

zh-Hans and en-US strings can differ in length and structure when the underlying board story is the same — avoid mirroring English comma-heavy promo lines character-for-character.

Why machine-translated whiteboard copy fails

• Literal "Freeform" → awkward 自由形式 instead of commerce-idiomatic 无边记 or 无限画布
• Generic "Whiteboard" → 白色板 (wrong) instead of 白板 (whiteboard term buyers recognize)
• English badge headlines preserved on zh-Hans screenshots — "Infinite canvas" with no Chinese benefit line beside it
• Overlay text overflow — long English board captions pasted into short screenshot callout zones truncate on device
• Conflating 白板 with 备忘录 — buyers searching for whiteboard apps may not match Notes notebook keywords
• Leading with 手写 or Scribble terms when the screenshot shows collaborative board sessions — handwriting vocabulary for a whiteboard workflow
• Inconsistent vocabulary between listing description, promotional text, and screenshot captions when all three mention infinite canvas or whiteboard features

Machine translation is fine for internal drafts. Finished whiteboard strings need idiomatic zh-Hans that states what board workflows you ship — while keeping accurate scope. AppLocale rewrites by hand; we do not deliver raw Google Translate or LLM output as finished copy.

AppLocale FAQ

Does AppLocale implement PencilKit, FreeformKit, or CloudKit board sync?

No. We deliver Connect listing metadata copy only — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot caption lines. PencilKit, FreeformKit, Collaboration APIs, CloudKit sync, canvas rendering, and in-app whiteboard engineering are outside scope.

How is Freeform listing copy different from Notes, Journal, Quick Note, Apple Pencil, or Math Notes?

Freeform and whiteboard listing copy covers infinite canvas, sticky boards, collaborative cursors, spatial sketches, and open-canvas ideation — the dedicated board experience. Notes listing copy covers organized notebooks, folders, and tags. Journal listing copy covers diary entries and reflective prompts. Quick Note listing copy covers corner-swipe capture workflows. Apple Pencil listing copy covers stylus and Scribble handwriting — not collaborative whiteboard sessions as the lead. Math Notes listing copy covers handwritten-equation solving. Those are separate scopes with different screenshot vocabulary.

Should my zh-Hans listing claim to replace Apple Freeform or system whiteboard apps?

Only if your app actually provides that capability and your English listing already states it accurately. AppLocale rewrites from your source claims — we do not invent system-replacement promises or certify parity with Apple's Freeform app.

What do I send after AppLocale payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines that mention whiteboard or infinite canvas (with frame order noted), which board workflows your app supports, and target locale (zh-Hans). Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt — we deliver to that Stripe email within 24 hours.

Does localizing my listing change in-app canvas sync or board collaboration behavior?

No. Canvas rendering, board persistence, collaboration sessions, and sync come from your binary — not Connect listing fields. AppLocale covers product-page marketing copy only.

Will zh-Hans whiteboard copy improve China rankings?

We do not guarantee ranking, browse placement, or download lift. Complete zh-Hans metadata helps users who already find your page understand whiteboard and infinite-canvas value in their language — it is not a placement hack.
