A long Apple Note should not turn into cropped pages, broken screenshot stitches, or a document with a missing ending. WholeNote turns one shared note into a searchable A4 PDF or one continuous image, ready to save, print, archive, or hand off. Share a note from Apple Notes, review the imported content, adjust its reading style, and export. WholeNote keeps the supported text, images, and detected tables in order, so you do not have to rebuild the note in another editor. • Export searchable PDF Create a fixed A4 document with automatic pagination and selectable, searchable text. • Save one continuous image Turn supported content into a single long PNG for quick viewing, saving to Photos, or sharing. If the note exceeds the safe image limit, WholeNote tells you to use PDF instead of removing content. • Keep mixed content in order Import supported text, images, and detected tables from the iOS Share Sheet and preserve their sequence. • Know when something is missing Import diagnostics and export checks surface unsupported content, size limits, and failures. WholeNote does not silently call an incomplete result successful. • Make long notes easier to read Choose a theme and adjust type size, line spacing, margins, and block spacing before export. • Buy once No subscription, no account, and no runtime paywall. Important: WholeNote can only process content that iOS provides through sharing and that the app supports. It does not batch-export your Notes library, preserve every Apple Notes formatting detail, expand every attachment, or export Word documents.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scratchcam at Free against WholeNote's $3.99. Scratchcam also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). WholeNote's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
