InkPad Notepad is the simple, elegant, easy way to keep notes on your phone, or on the web. Once upon a time, you had to write down notes in a paper notepad and carry it around with you. If you wrote a shopping list or to do list, you might go to the store and discover you had forgotten your notepad. But how often do you forget to bring your mobile phone with you? Introducing InkPad, the notepad you’ll only forget as often as your phone! Inkpad Notepad let's you access your notes online on our website. You can create or edit notes from the convenience of your computer's web browser, and always have access to your notes from your phone when you're offline too. CREATE NOTES InkPad is designed to look like a paper notepad, and is just as simple to use. When you open InkPad, you’ll see a list of all notes you’ve created. To add a new note, tap on the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. CREATE TO DO LIST Create a note as usual, then select the "to do list" button at the top of the note screen. CREATE SHOPPING LIST Create a note as usual, then select the "shopping list" button at the top of the note. EDIT NOTE OR TO DO LIST Now you can write your note. Just like a paper notepad, you don’t have to do anything special to save your notes, they are auto-saved for you. SAVE As mentioned above, notes are auto-saved. You don’t have to do anything special to save them. SYNC NOTES ONLINE Inkpad Notepad lets you sync/backup notes online. You can access your online notes on our website by signing in with the same account you selected in the mobile app. SEARCH YOUR NOTES OR TO DO LISTS Inkpad Notepad now gives you an option to search your notes or to do lists. From the home screen, tap on the search icon, then begin writing. As you write, the list of notes will be filtered to only display notes containing the search keyword. Press the "X" button to clear the note search, and view all notes as usual. SHARE NOTES At the bottom of each note is a “share” button. Tapping it brings up all the ways to share. Typical ways include email, SMS, etc. CHANGE NOTE’S TITLE To change a notes title, tap on the title area at the top of that note. DELETE NOTE If you don’t want a note any longer, you can delete it in several ways: 1) Open the note, tap the “delete” button at the bottom of the page. 2) From the main notes screen, swipe-left the title of a note, then tap on “delete”. BACKUP NOTES To backup a note, press the share button and email to yourself the note you want to backup.

Print a whole closing package — Letter and Legal mixed — in one tap, every page routed to the right paper. Built for notaries and loan signing agents. THE LIFECYCLE, START TO FINISH 1. RECEIVE & REVIEW — Share a PDF to PrintPilot from Mail, Files, Safari or any signing portal, or open it from Files and AirDrop. Share several at once and they arrive as one job. Unlock password-protected PDFs. Search inside documents instantly. 2. PRINT — The marquee: drop in a mixed Letter + Legal package and print it in ONE tap. Every page is classified by its true size and routed to the right paper automatically — dual-tray printers print straight through, single-tray printers get a guided walkthrough with paper-swap prompts and an assembly guide. Watch pages emerge live on the page chain, with per-job telemetry read from your printer. If something jams, retry from the failed job — never re-send what already printed. 3. SCAN BACK — Signed documents return as clean, formatted PDFs with on-device OCR. Driver's licenses render at true card size, front and back paired on one sheet — the ID copy page every closing package needs. Shipping receipts and thermal receipts get content-sized pages instead of being stretched onto Letter. 4. COMPRESS & SHIP — Shrink scanned packages before upload so portals and email never bounce them. Merge, split, rotate, and edit when the package needs surgery. WHY PROFESSIONALS PICK IT • Smart printing no PDF editor has: true per-page paper routing, silent job chaining, live print telemetry • The notary companion: guided single-tray ceremony, sentinel pages, merge assembly guide, ID card sheets • Interruption-proof: a phone call mid-print or mid-scan loses nothing — chains and scan sessions resume exactly where they stopped • Private by architecture: no accounts, no uploads, no tracking. OCR, smart naming, and document detection run entirely on your device. Your documents. Your printer. Your device. Start to finish. ——— SUBSCRIPTIONS • Pro (Weekly) — 1 week, $6.99 • Pro (Annual) — 1 year, $69.99 • Pro + Notary (Annual) — 1 year, $89.99, with a 7-day free trial • Pro Lifetime — one-time purchase, $129.99 Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
