NoteBook turns your notes into a shelf of beautiful books. Every notebook is a real book you can open, write in, and make your own — and it even looks as thick as the number of pages inside. A SHELF OF BOOKS • Keep up to 20 books on your shelf, each with its own title and look. • Books grow thicker as you add pages — a quick glance shows how full each one is. • Name every page and flip through them in order. MAKE IT YOURS • Design custom covers — pick colors, fonts, and spine styles, or use your own photo for the cover or the whole book. • Choose page styles: ruled notebook paper, picture pages, or a custom colored background. WRITE THE WAY YOU LIKE • Rich text with fonts, sizes, colors, bold, italics, highlights, and alignment. • Draw and handwrite with Apple Pencil or your finger. • Add photos, PDFs, and documents right onto the page — your text flows around them. • Scan documents with the camera and keep them with the book. • Record or import voice memos, with on-demand transcripts. • Turn any line into a checklist reminder, and tap to complete it. YOURS AND PRIVATE • Your notes live on your device and sync privately through your own iCloud. • No ads. No tracking. No accounts required — sign in only if you want syncing. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
