About

Graphly

Features
Read full description

Graphly makes the page you write on, as a PDF, on your iPhone or iPad. Choose a style, a page size and a spacing, then export the sheet you would rather not rule by hand. • DOT GRID — dots on a pitch you set, from 3 to 10 millimetres. • RULED — even lines across the page. • GRAPH — a square grid at that same pitch. • CORNELL — a cue column on the left, a writing column on the right, and a summary band along the bottom. • WEEKLY — one real week per page, Monday to Sunday, for the month you choose. The next page is the next week. Dates follow the calendar on this device. • PAGE SIZE — A4, A5 or US Letter, with a margin inside the edge. • ONE TO EIGHT PAGES — the same layout on every page. The on-screen preview shows the page with the word Graphly stamped across it, so it is not a sheet you would print. Choosing a style, a size, a spacing and a week costs nothing. A one-time purchase unlocks one clean PDF, with nothing stamped on it, ready to print or to write on in any app that opens a PDF. Graphly does not sync a notebook, and it does not keep what you write. It makes the paper. Everything runs on this device. No account, no upload, no camera. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com
