The best notes and journaling app on iPad with Apple Pencil support!!
I have been using various notes apps on iPad for the last 2 years and none of them have been designed with this much attention.
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.

Response from developer
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!
