Turn handwriting into fonts

About
Your handwriting deserves to be more than ink. Dearscript turns what you write with Apple Pencil into a real, installable font — free, with no accounts and no subscriptions.
Write each letter once on a guided, notebook-style canvas, and watch a live preview assemble your handwriting into sentences as you go. When you're happy, install your font on your iPad or iPhone and use it in Pages, Keynote, Word, and any app that supports custom fonts — or export the font file and use it on your Mac or PC.
HOW IT WORKS
• Draw each letter with Apple Pencil on a compact, guided canvas — faint reference letters and typographic guidelines keep everything lined up
• Watch the live preview render your own sample text in your handwriting as you draw
• Install your font system-wide, or share the font file anywhere
MAKE IT YOURS
• Five brushes — pen, monoline, fountain pen, marker, pencil — with adjustable width
• Pressure-sensitive strokes carry into the finished font: write light, write bold, it shows
• Draw multiple versions of any letter and Dearscript rotates them naturally as you type, so nothing looks stamped or robotic
• Letter combinations like "th" and "oo" can be drawn as connected pairs for a flowing, natural look
• Tune character and word spacing; add designer and license info to the font file itself
A REAL FONT, DONE RIGHT
Dearscript builds genuine TrueType fonts with smooth curves — not images of your writing. 105 glyphs: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, punctuation, symbols, and combinations.
EVERYWHERE YOU ARE
Your fonts sync privately through iCloud across your devices. No account to create, no data collected, nothing to pay.
