Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Folders, Face ID–locked private notebooks, and 10 paper styles. A notepad and sketchbook built for Apple Pencil, synced with your own iCloud.
Everyday Notepad is a notepad and sketchbook for iPad and iPhone that feels like actual paper. Write by hand with Apple Pencil or your finger, and keep everything organized in a colorful library.
PAPER YOU'LL RECOGNIZE
Wide ruled, college ruled, legal pad, steno pad, graph paper, dot grid, blank, Cornell notes, a checklist pad, and music staff paper, in classic, canary yellow, white, blue, or green.

Pen, pencil, fountain pen, watercolor, and highlighter, plus a lasso to select and move, and an eraser. Double-tap with two fingers to undo, or double-tap your Apple Pencil to switch between eraser and pen.
FOLDERS AND PRIVACY

YOUR NOTEBOOKS, EVERYWHERE
Notebooks sync through your own iCloud account across your iPad and iPhone. You can turn sync off in Settings.
EXPORT AND CONVERT
Export any notebook as a print-quality PDF or Word document. Turn handwriting into typed text with one tap, with recognition running on your device.

No account needed. Optional anonymous usage sharing is off by default.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• Folders: organize your notebooks into colored folders, or keep them Unfiled. Deleting a folder never deletes the notebooks inside it.
• Private notebooks and folders: lock them with Face ID, Touch ID, or your device passcode.
• Faster iCloud restore: after reinstalling the app or setting up a new device, your notebooks start downloading right away.
• Fixed: erased writing could briefly reappear after double-tapping Apple Pencil to switch tools.
• Fixed: exported PDF and Word pages now look consistent. Ink no longer looks inverted when exporting in Dark Mode, and the paper background is a single even color.
• Deleting a notebook, folder, or page now asks for confirmation in a clear centered alert.
• Stability improvements.
• New in Settings: "Share Anonymous Usage Data" is optional and off by default.
