Pilsa is a quiet place to copy scripture, sutras and good sentences by hand. You choose your faith when you start, and you only see writing that fits it: Church, Cathedral, Temple, or none at all. Open the app, take a breath, and write today's line with Apple Pencil. One line a day is enough. The pages you finish stack up in your journal, and you can share them as a card. Pilsa opens on iPhone too. On iPhone you read and listen to today's passage and see the pages and writing videos you made on iPad. Save a passage and pick it up on iPad. The handwriting itself happens on iPad with Apple Pencil. WRITE YOUR WAY - Trace: write over soft guide letters - Copy: read a line, then write it below - Recall: look, hide, and write from memory - Dictation: listen, then write what you hear Every way of writing is free. When you write English, meanings, word notes and pronunciation sit beside the page. WHAT YOU CAN WRITE - Scripture from the King James Version, or the Douay-Rheims Bible for Catholics - Classic Buddhist texts such as the Heart Sutra, with plain English explanations - Short affirmations, including one-page stories Choose your religion when you start, or none at all.

MADE TO FEEL CALM - Hand-drawn doodle design, with Meok the octopus and Sagak the pencil hedgehog - Stickers you can place on your page and keep on your finished card - Papers like Manuscript Grid, Hanji, Lamplight and Kraft Notebook - Gentle sounds: rain, brook, fireplace and dawn chords - Natural read-aloud voices that work offline YOUR PAGES STAY YOURS - No account and no sign-in. iCloud keeps iPad and iPhone in sync - Your pages can always be opened and shared, subscription or not - Everything you write works offline FREE AND PAID Today's line, starter packs, the first days of every pack and a free sticker set are free.
