ZoomNotes Lite is an iPad/iPhone visual note-taking app. It lets you quickly make handwritten notes and sketches on virtual paper, on PDF files, on MS Word, Excel and Powerpoint docs (via GoogleDrive), and over images. Uniquely, it also lets you zoom in and out without arbitrary limits, an invaluable feature for this type of app. It has a free fully functioning pen (although you will be able to try the pens too), and more available as in-app purchases. It has unlimited paper sizes/styles, unlimited colours and line thicknesses, and a large range of ways to share its documents making ZoomNotes the most versatile handwriting/drawing app. ZoomNotes Desktop for Mac now also available. ZoomNotes is much more than a replacement for your trusted paper notebook! Compatible with any capacitive stylus pen (although fingers work well too).

Build tiny habits that stick — and become who you want to be. TinyProof is built on the core insight from Atomic Habits: every time you do your habit, you cast a vote for your new identity. One tiny proof today is enough. IDENTITY-FIRST HABIT BUILDING Don't just track habits — prove who you are. TinyProof connects every check-in to an identity statement: "I am a reader." "I am someone who moves their body." Each completion is evidence. YOUR DAILY TINY PROOF Set up your habit in one sentence: "I will [read 1 page], after I [brush my teeth], so I can become [a reader]." Simple, obvious, easy to start. NEVER MISS TWICE Missed a day? TinyProof celebrates your return instead of punishing the gap. The "never miss twice" mechanic encourages you to show up — even on hard days. PROGRESS THAT MEANS SOMETHING See your identity score: "You've proven you're a reader 18 out of 30 days." Watch your streak grow. Understand your patterns with a monthly calendar heatmap. DAILY INSPIRATION A rotating daily quote — rooted in Atomic Habits philosophy — delivered each morning as a gentle reminder. Curated, categorized, and personal. HOME SCREEN WIDGETS Check your habit progress without opening the app. Small and medium home screen widgets, plus a lock screen gauge, keep your goals visible all day. SMART REMINDERS Set multiple daily reminders per habit. Get a daily quote notification each morning. All managed from inside the app. WHAT MAKES TINYPROOF DIFFERENT • Identity-first: every habit is tied to who you're becoming • Tiny by design: habits are built to be small enough to always start • Honest about skips: the skip reflection helps you learn, not feel guilty • No streak shame: missing once doesn't break everything Free to start. Pro unlocks unlimited habits and full progress history.
