Panoo turns your notes into something you actually want to look at: colorful paper notes, pinned to a warm cork board. Write a note, choose its paper, its pattern and its pin, then drag it anywhere on the board. It looks like the board above your desk, and that is exactly the point. Notes you can see are notes you remember. A REAL WIDGET, NOT A SCREENSHOT You choose which note goes on your Home Screen. Add several widgets and give each one a different note. Edit the note and the widget updates itself. Small, medium and large on iPhone, plus an extra large size on iPad. IT SYNCS BETWEEN YOUR DEVICES Turn on iCloud sync and your notes and boards move between iPhone and iPad on their own. There is no server of ours in between: the data sits in your own iCloud storage. Leave it off and Panoo keeps working completely offline. YOU BUILD THE BOARD • 7 frame designs: plain wood, classic moulding, rope, aluminium, carved and more • 16 frame colors and two corner shapes, so hundreds of combinations • 15 paper patterns: plain, lined, grid, stripes, zigzag, hearts, stars • 12 pins: classic thumbtacks, glass beads, flowers, stars, even a little cat • 9 color palettes for your paper • 4 fonts, including handwriting • Light and dark theme, both free MORE THAN A PRETTY BOARD • Checklists: ticked items get a line through them, visible right on the board • Mark a finished note as done and spot it on the board at a glance • Reminders: a notification at the exact time you choose • Several boards: keep work, home and shopping apart • Pinch a note to resize it, twist it to any angle • Share any note as an image • Landscape on iPhone, and the whole app rotates on iPad BUILT FOR • Anyone who keeps paper sticky notes on a desk • People who live off shopping lists and to-do lists • Students and workers who want class, meeting and idea notes in plain sight • Anyone who wants a Home Screen worth looking at YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS No account. No sign-up. No ads, not one, in any form. Panoo never sends your notes to a server of ours. With iCloud sync on, the data only goes to the iCloud storage of your own Apple Account. FREE AND PREMIUM Panoo is free to use, and the free version is not crippled: unlimited notes, unlimited boards, unlimited reminders, iCloud sync, light and dark theme, 5 paper patterns, 3 pins, 3 frame designs, 4 frame colors, 2 palettes, 2 fonts and one widget note. Panoo Premium unlocks the rest: every pattern, pin, frame design and frame color, every palette and font, and as many widget notes as you want. Premium is a one-time purchase, not a subscription. Pay once and it stays yours; restore it any time on any device signed in to the same Apple Account.
