Out of your head. Somewhere lovely. PaperPip gives your thoughts a little place to land: original paper notes, calm boards and checklists that feel at home on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Catch a quick thought, keep a shopping list nearby, or give yourself a gentle reminder. Make separate boards, choose a wall and paper color, find notes across your library, and keep completed thoughts in Done. Deleted notes remain recoverable in Trash for 30 days. Private iCloud synchronization is optional; device-only notes work offline, with JSON backup and Markdown export. Capture through Control Center, Shortcuts, the share sheet, widgets or the Mac menu bar. Reminder phrases are interpreted on your device. Notification-reply capture is optional and can be dismissed. Start the free 14-day trial when you are ready. There is no automatic charge. After the trial, reading, search, synchronization, export and deletion remain available. A one-time PaperPip Pro Lifetime purchase unlocks creation and editing across your supported Apple devices. The app displays your App Store's localized price before purchase. Family Sharing is not included at launch.
