PaperForge makes the paper. You choose the size, the margins, the grid and the header, watch it redraw as you adjust, and export a high-resolution PDF you can write on in GoodNotes, Notability, or anything else that opens a PDF. WHAT YOU CAN BUILD • Ruled, dotted and square grid pages, with spacing and line weight you set • Cornell note pages with a cue column and summary band • Weekly spreads and monthly calendars that are correct for a real month — leap years and your own first day of the week included • Daily time-blocked pages • Any page size: A4, A5, Letter, or your own custom dimensions HOW IT WORKS Everything is computed on your device and rendered on your device. There is no account, no server, and no network code in the app at all. Save a preset, come back to it later, adjust one number, export again. WHAT IT DOESN'T DO No subscription. No advertising. No analytics. No tracking. You buy it once.
