Papyr: Journaling App

Try Papyr free for 7 days. A distraction-free place to write, with locked journals, rich text, and a one-time unlock — no subscription, ever.

Papyr is a quiet place to write — a journal that looks and feels like paper, without the clutter of a productivity app pretending to be one.

Keep separate journals for separate parts of your life: daily thoughts, gratitude, recipes, travel, ideas, whatever you need. Lock the private ones behind Face ID, Touch ID or passcode. Write in rich text — bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquotes, and links — on a ruled page that feels like a real notebook.

Everything stays on your device and syncs privately through your own iCloud account. Papyr never sees your entries, never sells your data, and has no ads — there's nothing to sell when the entries never leave your iCloud.

FEATURES

• Multiple journals, each with its own mood tracking, on or off
• Lock any journal individually with Face ID, Touch ID or passcode
• Rich text formatting: bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, blockquotes, links
• Search across every journal at once
• Export any journal as a typeset PDF or an editable Word document
• Full iCloud sync — write on your iPhone, pick up on your Mac
• One-time purchase for full history and unlimited journals — no subscription, ever.

ON THE MAC Papyr's Mac version isn't a stretched-out iPhone app — it's a real two-pane Mac experience, with your journals in a resizable sidebar and entries opening inline, right where you're already looking.

PRIVACY, PLAINLY Your entries live on your device, always. Sync happens through your own private iCloud database, the same one Apple uses for your Photos and Notes. Papyr has no analytics, no tracking, and no way to read what you write.

Try Papyr free for 7 days. After that, one modest one-time payment unlocks it for good — full history, unlimited journals, and exports, yours forever. No subscription, no recurring charge, no expiration.
