Random Note does it for you. Type your text and watch it turn into a ransom-note collage as you type. HOW IT WORKS • Type your message. Each letter becomes its own piece of torn paper with a random font, color, shape and tilt. • Tap Shuffle to give every letter a new look. • Tap Share to send your note as an image. MAKE IT YOUR OWN • Random or Uniform style. Keep the chaos, or pick one font weight, design, width and color for a cleaner look. • 14 tile colors to choose from. • Backgrounds: white, ruled paper, dark, or a colored tint. • Letter size from small to poster-sized. • Control the layout. Commas, periods and line breaks decide where new lines start. • Add your own signature. Every note gets a small © stamp with the name of your choice. SAVE AND SHARE • Save your favorite notes to History and open them again later, exactly as they looked. • Reopen a saved note to make a new version without losing the original. • Share to Photos, Messages, AirDrop, Instagram, or any app on your device.
