## What is IRLpad?

IRLpad is a digital notepad with physical constraints.
No delete key. No infinite scroll. Just one page at a time — built for memory, not productivity.

It’s not a notes app. It’s a notepad, reimagined for your iPhone.

Each page is finite. When you reach the end, you turn it. There’s no scroll and no folders. Backspace strikes through — it doesn’t erase. You can flip back to older pages and even see faint traces underneath, just like real paper.

You can write by hand or type.
Use your finger or a stylus.
Switch modes with a simple two-finger swipe — no settings to toggle mid-flow.

IRLpad adds subtle but powerful enhancements to keep you in rhythm:
• Custom keyboard buttons let you jump to the end of the line or page without dragging the cursor
• Haptic feedback adds tactile presence to page turns and deletions
• Fast swipes remove entire pages — like tearing out a sheet
• Page translucency gives you a glimpse of what came before

Want control over those features? You can adjust them any time via the Settings app > IRLpad on your iPhone. Enable or disable haptics, auto-correct, auto-capitalization, and more.

IRLpad is grounded in cognitive science — not just aesthetics.

Studies show that:
• Fixed spatial locations improve memory
• Constraints reduce cognitive overload and sharpen decisions
• The absence of “undo” increases focus and intentionality

Your notes are stored in iCloud automatically.
No account setup. No export rituals. No sync buttons.

IRLpad won’t color-code your thoughts.
It won’t transcribe your meetings.
It won’t organize your chaos.

It gives your ideas space to live — with edges, limits, and a sense of presence.

IRLpad is for people who miss notebooks.
Who think better with physical constraints.
Who want to feel their thoughts, not just store them.
