Most mistakes don't happen because you don't know what to do. They happen because one small step slips through — the charger left in the wall, the coffee not restocked, the one account never reconciled. Loopa turns anything you do more than once into a reusable checklist. Build it a single time, then run it whenever you need it. Check off each step as you go — Loopa timestamps every one and files the finished run into a history, so you always know it was done. WHAT PEOPLE USE LOOPA FOR • Packing for a trip — never land without your charger again • Turning over an Airbnb between guests • Opening a salon, café or shop • Month-end bookkeeping • Launching a website or product • Publishing a podcast or video • Your Sunday reset and weekly routines • Onboarding a new client or team member FAST TO BUILD • Paste any list — from Notes, Reminders or a message — and Loopa splits it into steps • Add section headers to group long lists • Reorder steps, mark some optional • On iPhones with Apple Intelligence: describe what you need and Loopa suggests the steps MADE TO RUN OFTEN • Check off steps with a tap, each with a timestamp • A run archives into history when it's complete — proof it was done • Filter to just what's still open on long lists • Reusable — the list stays, ready for next time MADE YOUR WAY • Emoji or cover photo per checklist • Colors, pinning, search, sorting • Compact / Standard / Large density • Checkmarks on the left or right • Light and dark mode • No account required — your lists stay on your device Build it once.

Step through the door of an old bookshop and write. Open ScribeMe and you're standing at the door of a bookshop. Push it open, step inside, and your library is waiting on the shelf - every book you've written, standing spine-out, in whatever order you like. MAKE A BOOK, NOT A DOCUMENT Choose how a book feels before you write a word: hardcover, leather, cloth or paperback; the colour of the boards; cream, white or parchment pages; and the pen in your hand - fountain pen, ballpoint, pencil or marker, each with its own ink and weight of line. Pick a typeface with real character. Every cover gets its own grain, so no two books on your shelf look alike. Tall, square and wide picture-book shapes are all here. A DIARY THAT LOCKS Any book can be locked with Face ID or your passcode - a private diary that stays private. Night pages give you dark paper and light ink for writing after bedtime. WRITE, DRAW, ILLUSTRATE Real styling: bold, italics, centred lines, scene breaks. Draw straight onto the page with Apple Pencil or a fingertip, and add photo illustrations wherever you like. Draw your own cover, too. ORGANIZE A REAL STORY Chapters with a contents sheet. A plot board that lays your pages out at a glance. A story bible that interviews your characters and remembers your places. Story templates - three acts, hero's journey, fairy tale, mystery - that scaffold the chapters for you. Find and replace, and search across the whole shelf. TAKE IT OFF THE DEVICE Export a typeset PDF with cover, dedication, contents and illustration plates. Print a fold-at-home booklet. Make an EPUB ebook, a plain-text file, or an audiobook read aloud. Back up your whole library to a single file and carry it to another device. KEEP GOING Daily goals, streaks, milestones and writing sprints. A home-screen widget with your shelf and your streak. An evening writing prompt if you want one. Read a finished book with a real page curl, or have it read to you. YOURS, AND PRIVATE No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking, no subscriptions, and nothing is ever collected. Your books live on your device. Turn on iCloud sync (beta) and they sync through your own private iCloud - still nobody else's. Automatic version snapshots mean nothing you write is ever really lost. Everything in ScribeMe is included, free. It always will be. Made for iPhone and iPad.
