Papering brings the feel of a ring binder to your iPad. Make it a planner, a journal, a sketchbook, or a place for whatever you want to put on paper. Paper you can move Open the rings with the lever. Take out a sheet, change its place, or move it to another binder. Your handwriting and decorations move with it. Turn pages with your fingers and choose a one-page view or a two-page spread. Choose your inserts Pick yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, journal, and to-do inserts, or start with lined, grid, dot, or blank paper. Import a PDF as a binder or individual sheets. Use your own PDF or image as an insert design. Write, decorate, and find Write and draw with your finger or Apple Pencil. Add stickers, memo notes, photos, washi tape, and index tabs. Search your handwriting; recognition happens on your iPad. Your writing stays yours Papering does not collect the contents of your pages.

Papering is the only app where design meets functionality. It’s full of real-life paper and binder animations, makes you feel like you are using a real page and binder and makes you write on the iPad. Calendar connections is another big thing - it automatically and beautifully syncs with the calendar and displays the day’s plan in a nice and clean way without intruding on the writing section. Tons of features on landscape and portrait mode. Full-screen focus mode is also very good with page flip animation making it an ideal real notebook replacement. There is some initial learning curve but the learning guidebook does a good job explaining it. Once you understand the design and how to use the binders, it’s a magical app to use. 100% recommended as the primary daily driver for all notes and journaling needs for iPad with Apple Pencil. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review. As the solo developer behind Papering, it honestly means a lot to hear that the little details — the binder, page turning, calendar, and focus mode — are making the experience feel the way I hoped it would. I’m still at the very beginning, and I’ll keep carefully improving Papering while staying true to that real binder experience. Thank you for being here from the start! ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 1.13.0 — 2026-10-28 There’s a new page menu. Use the page-shaped buttons beside the drawer to share a page as a photo or PDF. Quickly add an insert with the same design or a favorite insert right after the page from its menu. The pushpin has become a clip. It grips the top edge of the page, leaving your writing space clear. You can use it from the page menu in landscape.

Requires iPadOS 27 or later. Improved Scissors for photos: Choose freehand or rectangle cutting with Scissors to cut photos into the shape you want.

They now keep their stacking order, with the selection handles visible on top. ### 1.9.0 — 2026-10-18 - Bring animated images such as GIFs into the Drawer’s Photos section and place them on the page.
