Platen — Paper & Ink
A little typewriter for notes
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases
iPhone
Make a little room for your words. Textured paper, mechanical sounds and optional gardens bring a personal touch to writing.
A little machine. A page of your own.
Platen brings the feeling of a typewriter to your iPhone: textured paper, imperfect ink, mechanical sounds and a capsule that follows your words. Write letters, capture thoughts and enjoy a quieter place to write.
Choose flat or curved paper, adjust ink darkness and keep corrections as crossed-out letters or erase them cleanly. Long-press the capsule for night writing, then adjust the lamp’s warmth, intensity and beam.
Find notes with search and monthly groups. Recover them from Recently Deleted, export a backup or enable optional iCloud synchronization with the same Apple Account.
Start free with three active notes and the original writing setup. Platen Studio is an optional one-time purchase for more notes, paper choices, capsule styles, rail finishes, gardens and additional sounds. No subscription. All future Studio features included.
Each note supports up to 3,000 characters, including spaces and line breaks, in both the free edition and Platen Studio.
Made by Rafikki Studio.

A richer paper garden: ivy, trailing vines, violets and daisies that stand up off the page as it curls. Smoother scrolling on Home, and typing that feels more like a real machine.
