Project Notebook +

Every project deserves to be remembered. Whether you're a designer, engineer, educator, maker, photographer, or event organiser โ€” you always have projects in motion. But too often, ideas end up scattered across sticky notes, chat threads, voice memos, and emails. By the time you look back, the context is lost and the process is impossible to recreate. Project Notebook was built to change that. It's a structured digital notebook designed for people who make things โ€” giving every step, every material, and every decision a clear and permanent home, from the first spark of an idea to the final deliverable. Who Is It For? Project Notebook is the perfect companion for anyone working on any type of project, including: โ€ข Creative projects โ€” branding, illustration, photography, video production โ€ข Engineering & technical work โ€” hardware development, circuit design, software features โ€ข Education & curriculum design โ€” STEAM lessons, workshops, teaching materials โ€ข Event planning & execution โ€” exhibitions, performances, community events โ€ข Hobbies & handcraft โ€” 3D printing, woodworking, sewing, cooking experiments โ€ข Work tasks & business projects โ€” proposals, reports, client deliverables Core Features โ€ข Step-by-Step Documentation Break your project into clear, ordered steps. Attach photos, videos, and handwritten notes (with Apple Pencil support) to each step, so the entire process is captured in full detail. โ€ข Bill of Materials (BOM) Record every material, component, or resource you need โ€” with name, quantity, specification, and notes โ€” so procurement and preparation are always organised. โ€ข Project Status Tracking Tag each project as Idea, In Progress, Paused, or Completed. Filter and sort your project list to stay on top of what matters most. โ€ข Reflection & Review After completing a project, capture what worked, what was challenging, and what you'd do differently next time. Turn every experience into a lesson for the future. โ€ข Export as a Web Page Export any project as a fully self-contained HTML page, bundled with all attachments into a single ZIP file โ€” ready to share with teammates, clients, or archive for future reference. How to Use 1. Create a project โ€” Enter a title, description, choose a category (Project / Idea / Note) and set a status. 2. Add your materials โ€” List every material or resource with quantity and specifications. 3. Document each step โ€” Add steps with text descriptions, photos, videos, or Apple Pencil handwriting. 4. Write your reflection โ€” Record what you learned, what was hard, and how to improve next time. 5. Export and share โ€” Export the full project as a ZIP web archive to share or back up.

About

HTML Editor

Features
Read full description

HTML Editor is a local-first iPhone and iPad app for opening standalone HTML files when another browser is not available from the share sheet. Open .html and .htm files from Files, AirDrop, WeChat handoffs, or other local document flows. The app renders the file cleanly in a built-in reader, then lets you switch into Edit mode for lightweight changes such as updating selected text or simple color styling. When you are done, export or share a new edited HTML file without requiring an account, server login, or cloud workspace. It is designed for saved pages, reports, notes, and document handoffs that should stay local on your device.
