## Description

Palu is a free, registration-free shared handwriting calendar app. Paste images and write notes on your calendar, decorate with stamps, and share calendars with friends and family. It offers three free calendars and two sharing modes for flexible collaboration.

No account is required. Data can be backed up with iCloud Drive, and optional in-app purchases remove ads or increase the calendar limit to 30. When you share a calendar, invitations are public to recipients; turning sharing off deletes data from the server.

## Review summary

Overall, users love Palu for handwriting input (Apple Pencil), its simple, free design, and its ability to keep multiple calendars organized with stickers. The major positives are easy note-taking, quick deletion via swipes, and lightweight usability. The most repeated drawbacks are editing glitches (notably eraser issues and no undo), stability concerns, and a wish list that includes widgets, keyboard typing, more stickers, and other customization options. Backup restore issues and occasional crashes are mentioned, along with left-right handed usability concerns. The app stands out for handwriting emphasis but needs UX and feature enhancements.

### Pros

- Simple, easy-to-use interface that stays free and lightweight.
- Supports multiple calendars, great for organizing teams or several schedules.
- Free with no monthly fees.

### Cons

- Eraser glitches and no undo; editing can be unstable.
- Occasional stability issues and glitches (crashes at times).
- Lacks widgets for the home screen.
- No built-in keyboard typing option; hard to type on iPhone.
- Not enough stickers; desire for more stickers or ability to upload own.
