noted. is a little paper notebook for your iPhone. Type, and your words appear in handwriting on paper with a bit of grain. No folders to manage, no toolbars to learn. Just a page and a pen. WRITING • Four hands: scrawl, the house hand, which inks itself stroke by stroke as you type, plus marker, looseleaf and rafikki • Four pens: ballpoint, marker, fountain and pencil • Change the hand or pen for a selection, or for just what you type next; settings picks the hand new notes start in • Plain, lined, squared or dotted paper, chosen note by note CROSSING OUT • Delete more than a few letters and they are scratched out in ink instead of vanishing; a quick typo fix still simply deletes • Keep the scratch-out, or let it go DOODLES AND PHOTOS • Draw with your finger and put the doodle on the page • Add photos from your library: as the full photo, as a cutout with the background removed, as a cutout with a white border, or held on with a binder clip or a paper clip • Move doodles and photos around the page YOUR NOTES • Every note on one wall, most recently written first, grouped by day • Search what your notes say (crossed-out words are left out) • Hold a note to crumple it up PAPERS AND SOUNDS • Cream paper by day and charcoal at night, following your iPhone • Five more papers: charcoal, spring, terracotta, violet and sea • Soft pencil sounds when you cross out, crumple a note, or pick a paper, pen or hand, with a loudness control, or turn them off ON IPHONE DUO • Closed, the outside screen is your notebook's cover, with windows cut through it to your latest page • Open it, and your notes become a book: turn the pages, with a soft page-turn sound • Tap a page and write right on it with the keyboard • A handwritten index of your notes, with dates • Eight covers: bottle green, charcoal, ink navy, rust, burgundy, kraft, and two cloth covers, breakfast and horses • Lined, squared, dotted or plain pages; blue, black or sepia ink; turn the pages or scroll • Warm, faded paper after dark LANGUAGES • noted. speaks English, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Ukrainian, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese • The handwriting writes all of them.
