# PRO FEATURES

Basic adjustments like text size are free in Paper. More advanced personalization can be purchased with Pro Features. You will not be buying anything blindly though. The trial period for Pro Features is untimed so you can take your time to decide if they are a worthy investment.

While trialing Pro Features you might occasionally see a popup. Simply press Reset in the popup to get rid of it completely.

Pro Features is either a subscription or a one-time purchase. Both the subscription and the one-time purchase unlock Pro Features on all your Macs that share the same Apple ID. This subscription (or one-time purchase) applies only to Macs. iPhones and iPads require a separate subscription (or one-time purchase).

The one-time purchase is hidden by default. To enable it press the "Show one-time purchase" button in the Pro Features popup that appears in the View menu.

If you want to upgrade from a Monthly subscription to a Yearly one (or to a Lifetime license) then click the Paper menu, hold the Option key of your keyboard, and under Purchases select the respective upgrade.

Great App, But Why Reinvent System Keyboard Shortcute

I thouroughly love the app and it's clean design! It brings simplicty to note taking on the computer that I have always wanted. However, as I am starting to use it more often, I am becoming frustrated that the app chooses to use it's own keyboard shortcuts for some things instead of using what the system provides. For example, I would love to be able to indent in a list just by hitting the tab key and then outdent with shift-tab like on most other apps on the mac.

Thank you for taking the time to review Paper! 😄

Taking your feedback into account, we have reverted Tab and Shift-Tab shortcuts to their defaults. Now they indent and outdent list items respectively.

This little app will not disappoint.

Others have said it, and I agree: this is a brilliantly concieved app. Simple and elegant - a pleasure to see and to use. I use it for notes, letters, memos and email. Now that lists are supported (thank you, Mihhail!) I use Paper for outlining, too. Paper won’t waste your screen space or your time with frivolous things, it just lets you get on with your writing. Paper is a serious tool: but there is a marvelous element of whimsy mixed in: you willl see when you try it! I mean, how often does a “productivity” app make you smile?

Mihhail has a vision of what he wants his app to be, but, I can tell you that if you have ideas or suggestions for him, then by all means contact him. He always responds and will listen, and help. It has been fun to watch this app grow with each of Mihhail’s “pleasant updates…” Cheers!

A Dream Come True for an ADD Writer

I like the simplicity. I have pretty creative mind paired with severe A.D.D. and am very easily distracted by other elements within the usual writing applicatioins like Pages & Word (Don't get me wrong, Pages is my program of choice when it comes to creating my final documents with its impressive design elements and photo enhancement abilities), but Paper is where my actual writing takes place. It is simple to use, and still beautiful. So many "wrtiting focused" apps are dull beyond recognition to the point where it feels like you are working on an old DOS command line system. Paper takes that simplicty and pairs it with modern elegance. I absolutely love that.
