Fold Notebook

Take notes in a leather notebook with pages that turn like paper. Free, with no ads, no account and no tracking. Your notes stay on your device or in your own cloud.

Free. Every feature. No ads, no subscription, no tracking.

Type, draw and add photos on the same page. Fold Notebook is a private notebook with real pages: pick a leather cover, open it, and turn the pages with a fingertip. Drag a corner and it curls over like paper.

EVERYTHING BEHIND ONE BUTTON Nothing sits over your writing. A small leather book button in the corner of the page opens a short card: page style, search, your notebooks, paper, font and app lock. Long-press the margin to change a page's style in a moment.

LINED, BLANK OR GRAPH Give each page its own style, or set a default for the whole notebook.

WRITE IT YOUR WAY • Four writing fonts, chosen per notebook • Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough and highlight • Headings, bulleted and numbered lists, and checklists you can tick off • Undo and redo, and it saves as you type • Paste as Checklist, a word count for every page, and Recently deleted, a 30-day bin

DRAW AND HANDWRITE Draw right on the page, next to your typing, with Apple Pencil or your finger. Pen, highlighter and eraser, six inks, five highlighter colours and three nib sizes.

ADD PHOTOS Put a photo from your library or camera on any page, then drag it to move it and pull its corner to resize it. Paste pictures straight in.

MAKE IT YOURS A shelf of notebooks, each with its own cover: nine leathers with a gold-foil, debossed or paper-band finish, or your own photo. Four papers, from classic white and warm cream to legal-pad yellow and dark, or let the paper follow light and dark mode.

FIND IT AGAIN An automatic Contents page and a Quick access page with a card for every note. Search finds any word you've typed, on every page, and you can search across all your notebooks from the shelf.

TWO PAGES ON IPAD Turn iPad sideways for a two-page spread, like an open book. On iPhone Duo, the fold is the spine: unfold to open the book, fold to close it.

KEEP IT SAFE • Export a backup file to keep your own copy, or to move your notes to Fold Notebook on Android. Backups use the same format on both. • Share any notebook as a PDF, with or without its cover. • Optional lock with Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode. Your notes are hidden in the app switcher.

FREE AND PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every feature is free: no in-app purchases, no subscription, no premium tier and no limit on notebooks. No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your notes stay on your device unless you turn on optional sync, which keeps them in your own iCloud or Google Drive.
