A simple, fun, yet powerful notebook for writing, note-taking, doodling, and drawing, optimized for Apple Pencil.
No ads, subscriptions, accounts, or logins!
Draw the app’s interface yourself, and optionally even make your own handwriting font, so most of what you see is your own writing.
Discover powerful features behind the playful UI:
- All-vector drawing so you can zoom in, scale, and rotate everything and it stays perfectly sharp
- Dark mode (really!), including your notes
- Draw with layers and automatic shape recognition
- Create your own headers and links for navigation
- Search your handwriting and image descriptions
- Share notebooks to collaborate with others in real time
- Lock notebooks so they require Face ID or Touch ID to open
- Export as SVG, PDF, or images… and even export your custom font as a TTF
The business model is simple:
- Unlimited notebooks and pages
- Fast, free, private sync and collaboration with iCloud
- You can buy more colors, pen widths, and templates if you'd like, as one-time, family-shared purchases that you keep forever
That's it!
Some feedback from a left-handed user:Because I write with my hand below and to the left of where I'm writing, there's a significant margin on the left and bottom where I cannot write comfortably on the screen. To take advantage of the full drawing canvas, it would be nice if you could optionally add a margin to the left, and also allow overscroll to move the bottom of the canvas higher up.
You had me until you didn't.

Disclaimer: I know this is a 1.0, so I will address the core of my love and sadness for this app, not the rough edges that will be sanded out shortly. my love:The onboarding is magical, whimsical, and downright helpful. Thank you for introducing a new paradigm that I'm sure will be copied and copied and copied. Well played.my sadness:In-app pricing. The cost for colors must be a deliberate choice, and I don't think it was a good one. I get this isn't a subscription. I get that family sharing is included. And I get that a developer needs to earn back against the time spent on development. But as of this writing, the price appears to be $10 for a selection of colors. When I saw that, my heart sank, and I had to ask myself: Would I have paid $10 up front for this? Absolutely not.I'll keep following the app, as I'm sure things will be refined both within the feature set and the business model. Until then, this was a great swing... and a miss.
Excellent Fun

Fantastic new app. I love the self-made UI and font. I’ve already put the font on my Mac and am drafting this review in TextEdit in my own handwritting. So fun. I like the vector scaling. And export/import of multiple things. (I’ll be exporting the UI for use by another of my user ids later.)
Fun and whimsical

Going through the entire setup was so rewarding! I was smiling like a child—what an excellent idea. I’m excited to keep playing with the application and going through the more power user features.
