jotter is a notebook for everything you need to remember. Your words look written by hand, and the boxes you write can remind you right on time. Write a line. Tick a box. Turn the page. No setup, no account, no folders. NEVER LOSE A THING YOU WRITE DOWN - Tap the clock on any box and choose when. Write "dentist, friday 10am" and friday at 10 is offered first, then in an hour, this evening, tomorrow morning or the weekend. - Be reminded at the time, or 10 minutes, an hour or a day before. - Tick the box straight from the notification, or ask for an hour more. - Every open box in the notebook on one page, with what's coming up first. - Find any word on any page. A SIMPLE TO DO LIST, ON PAPER - Start a line with [] for a box, a dash for a list, or 1. for numbers. Lists carry on by themselves. - Tap a box to tick it. Cross a line out with one key. - Tear a page out. It waits 30 days in case you want it back. A NOTEBOOK THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS - Fourteen handwriting styles, from a neat everyday hand to flowing cursive, at the size you like. - Light, dusk and night paper. Ruled with a margin, ruled, dot grid, squared or plain. - The soft sound of a pencil as you write, if you'd like it. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF - Your pages sync through your own iCloud, so your iPhone and iPad stay in step. - Widgets for your Home Screen and Lock Screen, with boxes you can tick right there. - Ask Siri to "add to jotter", or start a clean page from Control Center. YOURS ALONE - Lock the notebook with Face ID. - No account and no ads. Your pages live on your device and in your own iCloud. SHARE A PAGE, BEAUTIFULLY - Share any page as a picture, torn out along its edge and laid on cloth, linen or ink, sized for a post, a story or a message. - Long pages carry on across a few pictures, never cut off. - Export the whole notebook as a PDF, or as text. FREE, AND JOTTER PRO The notebook is free for good: unlimited pages, boxes and lists, find, widgets, sharing, two handwriting styles, light paper and every ruling. jotter pro adds reminders, iCloud sync, dusk and night paper, twelve more handwriting styles, the Face ID lock and PDF export.
