It seems like you might be referring to "PaperKit," which is a framework introduced by Apple to enhance the markup experience across various apps. PaperKit is used in applications like Notes, Screenshots, Quick Look, and the Journal app, providing a canvas for drawing and adding markup elements such as shapes, images, and text. It is designed to offer a comprehensive markup experience and is available on both iOS and macOS.
