A diary you keep by place
Home, work, your favorite café… a note for each place, one page per day. Jot handwriting, drawings, photos and to‑dos freely — and every entry stays safely on your device only.
A place‑based handwriting notebook that captures the "where" of your memories.
A note for each place — home, work, a café. Give it a name and icon; it's saved right where you are. If a place has several, you can bundle them into a group.
Open a notebook to see the calendar. Tap a date for that day's page — jump between months, or show only days with records.
Draw with Apple Pencil or your finger — fountain pen, ballpoint, marker (pressure), any thickness and color.
Add photos and decorate with emoji, lines and boxes. Several handwriting fonts, too.
To‑dos belong to the day you wrote them on. Repeat them daily, weekly (by weekday) or monthly (by date), and drag to reorder — checking one never moves it. Swipe to delete (with a confirm), or adjust the text size.
Jot a memo for the month under the calendar. When it’s empty, a short quote for that month appears.
Notes sit on distance rings — Here (≤50m) · Nearby (≤1km) · City (≤30km) · Far — each in its real direction, with the exact distance under the pin. Pinch to zoom, drag with one finger to move, double‑tap for the overview. The mint dot in the center is "me". (Offline)
In the "My Notebooks" tab, bundle several notes into a named group (like Home, Work, Site). Grouped notes get a 🏷 tag chip, and on the radar a far‑away place shows as one tidy named pin — when you're right there, the notes spread out individually.
Set a notebook's type to "Cash book" when you create it. Log income and expenses by category on each date; the calendar shows each day's total and the monthly balance.
Lock any notebook with its own 4‑digit PIN. It asks for the PIN every time you open it, and a 🔒 marks it in the list and on the radar. There's no recovery if you forget it, so remember it.
Pick lined, plain, grid or dots paper for each day. (Page ⋮ menu)
Turn the note on screen into a polaroid card — choose a frame color and add a one‑line memo — then save or share.
Export any month from the calendar as a PDF. Preview it, then save (Files app).
Switch the language anytime in Settings.
Pick one of four themes — cream, sage, rose, blue — in Settings. The whole app recolors instantly.
Export everything to a single file and keep it outside the app (Drive, Files…). Restore it on a new device or after reinstalling and it all comes back.
Everything stays on your device only. No account, no cloud, no ads, no tracking.
You'll get the hang of it in about a minute.
Tap "New note", give it a name and icon, and it's created right where you are. A note for each place — home, work, a café. When creating it, pick a type: a normal "Note" or a "Cash book".
The radar shows the notes around you on distance rings. From the center out: Here (≤50m) · Nearby (≤1km) · City (≤30km) · Far. Each note sits on its ring in its real direction, with the exact distance shown under the pin. The mint dot in the center is "me", and a note right where you are shows "Here" instead of a jittery distance. Pinch to zoom in and out, drag with one finger to move around, and double‑tap to return to the overview. A "Re‑scan" button refreshes your location. (A one‑time location notice appears the first time. If you decline, a button lets you enable it later.)
In the "My Notebooks" tab, press and hold a note to start selecting. Tap more notes, then tap "Group together" and give the group a name — a new one, or pick an existing group (like Home, Work, Site). Grouped notes get a 🏷 tag chip; to take one out, use its ⋮ menu → "Remove from group". On the radar, when that place is far away the whole group shows as one tidy named pin (tap it to see the list of its notes); when you're at that place, the notes all spread out individually so you can use them directly.
Open a notebook to see the calendar. Jump to any month or year, swipe between months, tap a date for that day's page, or show only days with records. Below the calendar there's a “This month’s memo” box — tap to write a note for the month; when it’s empty, a short quote for that month shows instead.
Write and draw with the pen. Apple Pencil works right away; if you're using your finger, tap the "Finger" button to switch. Choose pen types, thickness and colors, and use the eraser, lines, boxes and undo.
Add text in handwriting fonts, plus emoji and photos. Press and hold an item to select it, then move, resize or rotate.
Add and check off to‑dos at the top of the page. To‑dos belong to the day you wrote them on (they don't carry over). Set a 🔁 repeat (daily, weekly by weekday, or monthly by date) and it appears on every matching day, checked off per day. Drag the handle to reorder — checking a to‑do never changes its position. Swipe to delete (with a confirm); adjust the text size too.
Choose lined, plain, grid or dots paper from the page ⋮ menu. Pan and zoom with two fingers; while drawing, one finger is your pen.
Tap the share button at the top to turn the note on screen into a polaroid card. Choose a frame color, add a one‑line memo, then save it to your photos or share with friends.
Make a notebook a "Cash book" to turn it into a ledger for a place or project — home budget, company expenses, or a construction site's income and costs. Tap a date, choose expense or income, and enter the amount (an in‑app number keypad, shown with thousands separators and ₩), a category and an optional memo. Categories are separate for income and expense; alongside the built‑in presets you can add and delete your own. The calendar shows each day's net (＋/–), and a monthly summary bar shows carryover, income, expense and balance — and the balance carries over to the next month automatically. You can also export a monthly PDF (income, expense and balance + totals by category + a day‑by‑day list) from the calendar's PDF button.
From the calendar, export the month as a PDF (a calendar overview, a to‑do page and the note pages). Preview it, then save (iOS: Files app > PlacePad).
Any notebook — a normal note or a cash book — can be locked with its own 4‑digit PIN. Turn the lock on when you create the notebook, or later from My Notebooks via the ⋮ menu → Lock / Remove lock. A locked notebook asks for its PIN every time you open it, and a 🔒 marks it in the list and on the radar. Important: there is no PIN recovery — if you forget it, you can't open that note again (you can still delete it), so be sure to remember it. It's a privacy lock that keeps others from casually opening it, not full encryption.
In Settings → Backup, tap "Export backup" to bundle everything (notes, to‑dos, cash book, photos) into one zip file. Save that file outside the app — Google Drive, the Files app, a messenger — because deleting the app erases the on‑device records, and this file is what brings them back. On a new device or after reinstalling, go to Settings → Backup → "Restore from backup" and pick the file; everything returns (restore replaces your current records with the backup, so confirm first). You can also choose a cream / sage / rose / blue look in Settings → Theme.
