Papering brings the feel of a ring binder to your iPad. Make it a planner, a journal, a sketchbook, or a place for whatever you want to put on paper. Paper you can move Open the rings with the lever. Take out a sheet, change its place, or move it to another binder. Your handwriting and decorations move with it. Turn pages with your fingers and choose a one-page view or a two-page spread. Choose your inserts Pick yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, journal, and to-do inserts, or start with lined, grid, dot, or blank paper. Import a PDF as a binder or individual sheets. Use your own PDF or image as an insert design. Write, decorate, and find Write and draw with your finger or Apple Pencil. Add stickers, memo notes, photos, washi tape, and index tabs.
