## What is PaperNotes?

A little paper in a digital world.

So much happens on a screen. Some thoughts simply need a pen and a blank page. A moment to pause, doodle, and make sense of things. Room for an idea that only takes shape as you write.

Paper Notes brings the feeling of handwritten notes together with the possibilities of a digital notebook. Keep writing on paper. Scan your pages and take your thoughts with you on your iPhone or iPad. Your handwriting and drawings stay part of your notes.

Your thoughts deserve a home.
Your notebook fills up. Ideas spread across pages. Paper Notes gives them a digital home: collected in personal notebooks, searchable, and ready when you need them again.

A thought. To be continued.
A scanned page is a beginning. Add typed text, keep writing and drawing digitally, or copy recognized words to use elsewhere. Your ideas can keep growing, even when your paper notebook is back at home.

Your notebook. Your style.
Choose cover colors, paper, and ruling that feel like you. Leaf through your pages and bookmark the ones you want to return to. Make room for thoughts, plans, and memories.

With Paper Notes, you can:
- Scan paper notes or import them from photos.
- Preserve and edit your handwriting and drawings digitally.
- Search and copy recognized text.
- Add typed text and drawings to your notes.
- Customize your notebooks, covers, and paper.
- Sync your notebooks across your devices with iCloud.

Your next thought begins on paper. With Paper Notes, it stays with you.
