## What is Smallnote?

Some ideas deserve a page of their own.

Smallnote is a personal notebook for the things you want to keep: a passing thought, a plan for tomorrow, a sketch, a small moment from today. Open the cover, find a fresh page, and make it yours.

A NOTEBOOK THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS
Build a shelf of notebooks for different parts of your life. Choose a cover, paper color, ink and handwriting style for each one. Write on lined, squared, dotted or blank pages, and turn them with a gentle curl.

TYPE, DRAW, MAKE A LITTLE MESS
Tap anywhere on a page to type. Pick from 12 handwritten typefaces, or capture your own handwriting to use inside Smallnote. Sketch with a finger or Apple Pencil on supported devices. Add photos, stickers and washi tape, then move things around until the page feels right.

OPEN TO WHAT MATTERS
Start with a new page, your last note, the page marked by your ribbon, or a note written nearby. Keep favorite pages in the contents, search your notes, and return to past days with the calendar and On This Day. Location features are optional.

SMALL WHEN YOU NEED IT. ROOMY WHEN YOU WANT IT.
Carry your notebook on iPhone, spread out on iPad, or unfold iPhone Duo to open a two-page view. The layout follows your screen and window size. Home Screen widgets and Shortcuts make it easy to get back to a page, and the companion Apple Watch app lets you capture a quick thought.

KEEP SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU
Lock a notebook or an individual page with device authentication. Smallnote needs no separate account and includes no ads or tracking. Your notes are stored on your device; optional iCloud sync keeps them in your own iCloud account across devices.

A FEW LITTLE DELIGHTS
A ribbon to hold your place. Paper sounds you can switch on or off. A torn-out page you can recover for 30 days. A note folded into a letter to share as an image or PDF.

Smallnote is currently available in English. Apple Pencil and Apple Watch features require compatible hardware. iCloud sync requires an Apple Account and available iCloud storage.

A little book. A place for your thoughts.
