TypeDraw
Your new Notebook
$6.99 · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Imagine a notebook so entirely your own that you can even type in your own handwriting. All the simplicity of paper, unique ways to capture your ideas and clever new ways to find them exactly when you need them. Here is that Notebook.
No account required. No subscription. Your notes stay local and private on your device, or sync through your own iCloud account if you choose. Your data stays yours, and you can even lock your book. Export a single page or your whole book as a PDF and send it to your files, your agents or your mother.
- Open to what matters in the moment: a fresh page, your most recent note, or a note from that restaurant you’re finally visiting again after years. Or jump straight into what you need with a beautiful Home Screen widget.
- Type, draw and write anywhere, just as you would in a real notebook. Turn the pages with a curl or a tap, sketch with your fingers, or use Apple Pencil on iPad and iPhone Duo. Turn on “Ready to Draw” to keep drawing mode active, so you can start sketching as soon as you open your book.
- Enjoy a free canvas where text and drawings belong together. Highlight or underline text, and your strokes automatically convert to responsive “Smart Marks” that adapt when you edit words, change line breaks or adjust the layout.
- Make it yours! Turn your handwriting into a font you can type with in just minutes. Choose your page colour, ink colour, font size and text colour. Pick lined, grid or dotted paper, and explore 12 handwritten typefaces from Shaped Fonts or choose from all preinstalled iOS system fonts.
- Add up to four additional notebooks to your setup. Each requires a small one-time in-app purchase so we can keep the app subscription-free. Switch between books by long-pressing the cover, selecting one in Settings or, on iPhone Duo and iPad, swiping in the desk view.
- Keep an overview with a table of contents you can sort by page number, time or location...so the notes nearest to you are always easy to find. All Notes are searchable, too.
- Have fun and don't take life too seriously!

New Settings Screen:

Hello, Hallo, Salut, Hola, Ciao, Merhaba, Cześć, Olá, Hoi, こんにちは, 안녕하세요, 你好!
TypeDraw is now available in German, French, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, Polish, Portuguese, Dutch, Japanese, Korean and Chinese. Many of these languages are also supported when turning your own handwriting into a font!
More Fonts!
Alongside our 12 Shaped Fonts typefaces, you can now choose any preinstalled iOS system font. Now you really are spoilt for choice.
And More…
We’ve added smaller improvements and handy little shortcuts too, like swiping up with three fingers to quickly close your book.
Told you it was a big one. We hope you like it!
