NiblyNotes is the digital exercise book for everyday school life — made in Germany with teachers. Every tool a lesson needs in one app: no subscription, no ads, no tracking. English and German. FREE AND AD-FREE NiblyNotes stays free for at least 5 years. In the supporter area you can buy us a coffee if you like — it unlocks nothing. WRITING AND DRAWING - Pen, fountain pen, pencil, highlighter and laser pointer, many colours and widths, plus two of your own - Lasso to move, scale, rotate and copy, even from book to book - Object eraser for whole strokes, Apple Pencil double-tap switches to it - Shape recognition for line, circle, rectangle, triangle and rhombus; rest the pen briefly and it straightens at once - Lines and arrows whose endpoints stay movable PAPER RULINGS Blank, ruled, 5 mm squares, dot grid, music staves with lyric lines, French Séyès ruling, isometric and dimetric paper to ISO 5456-3 — per page, with a margin left or right. RULER, SET SQUARE AND COMPASS Strokes snap to the edge, tools move and rotate with two fingers, the ruler attaches to the set square. The zoom adjusts so that 5 mm squares and 9 mm lines are exactly that size — check it with a real ruler. TEXT, TABLES AND STICKERS Text boxes with font, size, colour, word-by-word formatting, Scribble, web addresses recognised. Tables to write into with the pen. Stickers cover up answers and reveal them with a tap; next time you open the book they cover again. IMAGES, AUDIO AND VIDEO Photos from library or camera with a photo editor, audio files right on the page, videos embedded cookie-free. SPLIT PAGE A reading pane on the left with a PDF or a second book, the writable page on the right, the divider moves freely. SCANNER AND IMPORT Scan worksheets and blackboards with the iPad camera — multiple pages, black/white or colour, croppable. PDF, Word and PowerPoint become book pages. BOOKS AND PAGES Folders, duplicate books, take pages from other books. Insert, delete or clear pages — all recoverable. Page overview as a sidebar, outline that jumps to a topic. ZOOM WRITING An enlarged writing strip at the bottom — write big, it lands small in the book. CURTAIN, PRESENTATION, FULL SCREEN The curtain reveals a page step by step, on the external display too. When mirroring, presentation mode shows only the page, full screen leaves just a mini toolbar. PRINT, AIRDROP, SAVE AirPrint, AirDrop, save locally as PDF or NiblyNotes file. Teachers can hide the handwritten answer key on export.

The existing color selection has been optimized and expanded with six custom colors. Saved colors remain permanently available and can be used across all notebooks. In addition, a new “Edit Color Switcher” feature has been added. Users can now define up to four frequently used colors for quick selection. They can also freely choose where the quick color selection should be displayed. This allows colors to be changed with just one click while working, making the workflow faster and more flexible. **Faster Navigation During Screen Sharing** The screen sharing function has been improved. By clicking on the current page number, users can now directly enter a desired page number. The view will then automatically jump to the corresponding page. This makes it possible to quickly access pages that are further away without having to scroll through the notebook for a long time. **Improved Text Box Function** The text box function has been completely redesigned. When editing, the text box is now displayed in a separate editing area, preventing the virtual keyboard from covering the content. Within this area, the text box can still be resized, moved, and fully edited as usual. **Improved Classroom Management** The classroom management has been enhanced. Teachers can now directly decide whether the mailbox should be emptied when ending a session. **New Notebook Linking in the Classroom** The management of linked notebooks has been completely redesigned. Instead of constantly switching between individual notebooks manually, up to four notebooks per class can now be linked together. This eliminates the need to switch between different notebooks during lessons. When leaving the classroom, the linked notebooks are automatically updated. Subfolders can also be selected when linking notebooks, allowing for an even more flexible organization. ### 1.0.5 — 2026-07-26 **New Split Screen feature.** While a notebook is open, you can now open and view a PDF or another notebook at the same time. The feature is available via the **Share** button. In Split Screen mode, the reading pane can now be moved to the right side. This is especially useful for left-handed users. The reading pane in Split Screen now supports two-finger pinch-to-zoom. Pages can also be changed by swiping. Only one page is displayed at a time. Links can now be opened directly while using Split Screen. In Split Screen mode, the currently open notebook can now also be selected and opened. The sticker menu can now be moved freely. The compass tool has been improved. After creating a circle, the radius input dialog is displayed again immediately, allowing multiple circles to be drawn in quick succession. While drawing a circle with the compass tool, the ruler and protractor are automatically hidden. They reappear as soon as the circle has been created. Text selected with the lasso tool can now be rotated just like images. Automatic line straightening now takes place while holding the stylus in place. You no longer need to lift the stylus to straighten a line. The laser pointer is now displayed live in the projector view. The zoom function has been improved. Objects now remain much more stable while zooming and move less. The scrolling behavior has been improved. Scrolling is now faster and objects move much more smoothly. When using the compass, ruler, or protractor, the page can now be scrolled using a scroll bar. Text fields now support adjustable line spacing. ### 1.0.4 — 2026-07-20 **Major new feature:** Classroom Control now works directly over the Internet. For schools that block communication within the Wi-Fi network, the new **Mailbox via Web Server** feature is now available. Shared notebooks are now only displayed under **All** or **No Folder**. Notebooks submitted by students are now displayed in different colors in Classroom Control. When connecting to Classroom Control, students now always see their own name. It can be changed directly, which is especially useful when using shared iPad carts. In addition, the student's BayernCloud username is now displayed when connecting. If there is no connection to BayernCloud, the username can be entered directly. This allows the teacher to see the student's BayernCloud username in Classroom Control and send files directly to the student. This is especially useful when using shared iPad carts. Classroom Control has been extended with the new **Screenview** feature. When enabled, the teacher always sees a screenshot of the student's most recently modified notebook page. This screenshot can be inserted directly into a notebook. Alternatively, the latest screenshots from all students can be inserted into a notebook with a single click. Each screenshot includes the student's username and a timestamp. Text fields now support up to 8,000 characters. ### 1.0.3 — 2026-07-09 This version includes further improvements and new features: The compass tool now always displays the center point, making drawing more precise. The number 5 is now visible on both sides of the set square. A new pink color has been added. The image editor has been enhanced: A new “Full Image” button in the bottom right corner allows the entire image to be inserted with just one click. A new notebook overview is now available in the classroom submission area, making it faster to review students’ notebooks. The laser pointer is now also supported when displaying content via a projector. ## More apps by PC-Future GmbH - [Shopping List + Pantry](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shopping-list-plus-pantry/id6760492536) All apps by PC-Future GmbH: https://appshunter.io/developer/1884718537 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
