Write each letter once, one per box, with your finger or an Apple Pencil. Ownhand turns your handwriting into a real font you can install on your iPhone or iPad and use in Notes, Pages, Keynote, GoodNotes, Word and more. About five minutes. No printer, no scanner, no account, nothing uploaded. IT LOOKS LIKE YOU • Every letter is traced from your own strokes into a real TrueType outline. • You write lowercase twice, and the two versions alternate as you type, so your text looks written, not stamped. • Spacing is measured from your strokes, and awkward pairs are kerned. • Accents are composed from your own marks, so café and señor come out right. • A Neat–Natural control keeps the wobble or tidies it up. WHAT YOU SEE IS THE FONT The preview is the actual font file, rebuilt as you adjust it and rendered by iOS. USE IT EVERYWHERE Install it on this device in a few taps, or share the TTF file to a Mac, a PC, Canva or Cricut Design Space. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your handwriting and your fonts stay on your device. No account, no ads, no tracking, no analytics. FREE Make as many fonts as you like, install them and share them.
