FormFerry is a local-first operations tracker for paperwork that is already in motion. Build a clear case record for applications, requests, claims, permits, renewals, and other submissions. Record exactly what happened, who owns the next move, and when you want to check in again. CASE CONTROL - Track draft, submitted, receipt-confirmed, waiting, action-required, resolved, and archived cases. - Assign the next action and identify whether you, the recipient, or a third party is responsible. - Save submission method, confirmation number, contact details, and status link. - Enter your own expected-response and check-in dates. FormFerry does not calculate official deadlines. EVIDENCE AND HISTORY - Build a task checklist for missing evidence or follow-up work. - Add timestamped submission, receipt, contact, document, status, decision, and note events. - Attach receipt, confirmation, or status photos to the case. - Search across cases, tasks, references, notes, and timeline activity. REPORTS AND BACKUP - Export a readable case report, CSV register, or PDF evidence packet. - Back up and restore the complete local case register with a FormFerry file. - Use optional local notifications for check-in dates you choose. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ads, third-party analytics, or backend service. Case data stays on your device unless you choose to export it. FormFerry records information and dates that you enter. It does not submit paperwork, determine official deadlines, predict outcomes, or provide legal, medical, insurance, tax, or financial advice. Confirm requirements and dates with the responsible organization.

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.
