About

A quiet place to think. PaperThoughts is a private, handwriting-first journal for iPad. Write by hand with your Apple Pencil, sketch in the margins, and keep every entry to yourself. WRITE BY HAND • Natural Apple Pencil handwriting and drawing • Blank, lined, grid, or dotted paper in multiple sizes and colours • Journaling prompts when you don't know where to start drop a question onto the page and answer it in ink • Prefer to type? Typed entries are always a long-press away REMEMBER THE MOMENT • Tag entries, set a mood, and pin the place they happened drop the pin on a map yourself, wherever the entry belongs • Add photos alongside your handwriting or leave a placeholder slot on the page and fill it with the photo later • Find things again with filters by journal, place, tag, or date WORKS WHEREVER YOU DO • No connection needed write, sketch, and read your journals fully offline • At the cabin, on the trail, in the air: your journal lives on your device, and syncs through your own iCloud when you're back online • Day or night — a dark mode that keeps the page calm WATCH YOUR PRACTICE GROW • Streaks and gentle insights: how often you write, and the places your entries have taken you • Bookmark the pages you return to • Export entries or whole journals to PDF anytime your words are never locked in PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Your entries live on your device and in your own iCloud — nowhere else • No account, no sign-up, and nothing to log in to • No analytics, no tracking, no servers of ours: we have no way to read what you write • Moods are saved to Apple Health on your device; App Lock uses Face ID or Touch ID without biometric data ever leaving it ON IPHONE • A companion for reading your journals and capturing quick typed notes the Pencil stays the star on iPad PAPERTHOUGHTS PREMIUM The free app includes 3 journals with 5 entries each — enough to make it yours.
