October 14, 2026
A notebook made for iPhone Duo: Write and Guide Me sit together when open, with layouts that adapt as you fold or rotate. Refreshed sheets, clearer controls, a centered empty Pages view, and an unfinished-pages sheet make getting around easier. The keyboard stays closed when opening pages, appears when you switch writing modes, and dismisses when you tap outside the editor. Drawing setup and practice are clearer, with a labeled ink pad, simpler instructions, and shorter onboarding. Requires iOS 27 or later.
