Libreto is a digital notebook, planner, PDF editor and full drawing studio for iPad and iPhone Duo, and a streamlined PDF editor and notes app for iPhone. A notebook that opens like one, private by design, with on-device AI included and one fair price. A NOTEBOOK THAT OPENS LIKE ONE Every notebook opens on its cover, full screen: your own photo, a seasonal design, or one you make. Slide the elastic band to the lock and hold to open it, then turn pages that curl like paper. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Folded, the cover screen shows the notebook you were writing in, band and all. Unfold it and the notebook lies open across both pages, right where you left off. Spreads use the full width of the screen, with every control in one row at the top, held sideways or upright. Folders show a list beside a preview, and planner links open on the facing page. NOTEBOOKS FOR APPLE PENCIL (iPad and iPhone Duo) Lined, dot grid, grid, graph, Cornell and to-do paper, or any photo as your own paper. Ink thickens on slow strokes and tapers at the ends, like a real nib. Draw a rough line, box or circle and hold: it snaps clean. Type in a handwriting style that looks like your own notes. Search your handwriting and convert it to text on-device, in 20+ languages. Add stickers, washi tape, photos and AI art with Image Playground. No Pencil, or another iPhone? Write with a finger. PLANNERS, YOUR WAY (iPad and iPhone Duo) Six planners: Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Scheduling, Personal and Pro, plus a library of ready-made planners for school, work, fitness, money and more. Real calendar dates, and every planner opens on a tappable Contents page. Tap a date to open that day; each day links back to its month. Portrait or landscape, Light or Dark theme. DRAW & SKETCH (iPad and iPhone Duo) A full drawing canvas with pressure brushes, layers, blend modes and a saved color palette. Hold at the end of a stroke and it becomes a clean line, ellipse or rectangle. In landscape, Sketch Studio docks your reference image, layers and colors beside the canvas. Real symmetry: vertical, horizontal, both axes or radial. Pro adjustments and filters: hue, curves, gradient map, blurs, halftone and more. Import photos to trace or paint over, export as PNG or PDF. PDF TOOLS (iPad and iPhone) Highlights, ink, shapes, stickers and signatures, with undo and redo for every mark. Reorder, rotate, split and extract pages. Make scans searchable with on-device OCR. Clean up photographed pages with Scan Enhance. Redact for real: the hidden text is destroyed, not just covered. Export as PDF, image, text, Word (RTF) or Markdown. LIBRETO INTELLIGENCE, ON YOUR DEVICE Ask questions about any PDF or notebook and get answers with tappable page citations. Summarize a document, a page range or a selection. Turn any document into flashcards and quizzes with spaced-repetition review. Record a lecture, then transcribe and summarize it on-device. Have any PDF or note read aloud. All of it runs with Apple Intelligence, right on your device: nothing uploaded, nothing metered, no AI credits. Prefer no AI? One switch hides every AI button. LEARN IT IN MINUTES A short tour on first launch, tips that show you around the first time you use each part of the app, and Help & Tutorials with a Try it button that takes you straight there. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No tracking. No third-party AI. Your work stays on your devices, with optional private iCloud sync and App Lock with Face ID. MEMBERSHIP Unlock every premium feature for $19.99/year with a 3-day free trial, or $2.99/month. Prefer not to subscribe? Buy Libreto once for $59.99 and keep every feature, including future updates, forever. Terms of Use (Apple standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

The call
