## What is WriType?

WriType turns your handwriting into a real font you can install, use, and share.

Two ways to write:
· On screen: write character by character with Apple Pencil or your finger on iPhone or iPad. When you pause, WriType saves the character and moves to the next one automatically.
· On paper: download an A4 landscape template PDF, print it, write in the grids, then import photos or a scanned PDF in one batch.

11 packages, from 123 symbols to 6,763 characters:
· 123 symbol template, 775, 2,500 and 3,500 characters (the last three include symbols): free.
· 2,500 → 3,500 supplement: free.
· 6,763 characters (all of GB2312) plus the supplements toward 6,763 and the Complete set: one-time purchase.
· Supplement packs require their prerequisite package; when building, your own characters are merged with completed prerequisites and sibling volumes for the same target.

Paid packages are one-time purchases, not subscriptions, and purchases can be restored in Settings. Payment is handled by Apple.

Everything is processed on your device: page detection, perspective correction, cell splitting, binarization, cleanup and vectorization. Review each glyph, then package a .ttf you can share, install, and preview on letter paper or notes.

iCloud:
· When iCloud is available, projects and generated fonts are saved automatically in iCloud Drive, so you can continue on another device.
· When iCloud is unavailable, everything stays on this device.
· The developer cannot read your handwriting or fonts. Only if you turn on optional diagnostics will the app send technical logs that contain none of that content.

Privacy:
No registration, no sign-in, and no personal data collection by default. Handwriting photos are chosen through the system photo picker; the app itself requests no camera or photo-library permission. Diagnostics are off by default and contain only version, action codes, counts, and error codes — never handwriting, project names, character text, or file paths. You can enable, disable, or clear them anytime in Settings.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.5.0 — 2026-10-21

WriType 2.5: the project list is roomier; the demo project “My Handwriting” is fully removed and deleted projects no longer come back; the article picker in Preview is now a dropdown and the “mark unwritten” option is gone; the + button is removed from the library — new projects start from a package; package details split Screen and Print into tabs, and screen writing first asks for pen and auto-advance; the storage row is no longer shown in Settings (iCloud still works automatically); diagnostics upload no longer times out on some networks. Also includes on-screen writing fixes, three new preview texts, and optional diagnostics (off by default).

### 2.1 — 2026-10-17

Version 2.1 adds the interface and App Store copy in 10 languages: Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), and Russian.
We also corrected wording and polished several details throughout the app.
Everything still runs fully offline, and no data is collected.

### 2.0.0 — 2026-10-16

No release notes.
