Canvas and gestures

• Infinite canvas — pan and pinch-to-zoom freely
• Three-level lock (none, zoom only, all) with HUD indicator
• Two-finger pinch: zoom | double-tap: reset zoom | triple-tap: reset position
• Three-finger double-tap: toggle passthrough | triple-tap: hide canvas

Toolbar

• Horizontal and vertical layout, draggable anywhere via long‑press
• Auto-dims after 3 seconds of inactivity
• Hide canvas or pass touch events through to the app below
• Finger-drawing toggle for stylus-only mode

Convenience
