Three rules.Nothing more.<br>Most notes apps end up as filing systems. Folders inside folders, tags nested in tags, dashboards counting how often you forgot to write. paplo refuses every one of those decisions on your behalf — so you can open it, write or draw and put it down again.
01 · Principle<br>Simplicity over features<br>One notebook, one paper, one toolbar.
02 · Principle<br>Apple Pencil first<br>The pen is the primary input. Pressure, tilt, palm rejection — so writing feels like paper.
03 · Principle<br>Calm design<br>No bright colors. No badges, streaks or notifications. A quiet space for your thoughts.
The IndexEvery page, named or numbered.<br>Tap the page counter to slide the index open. Pages you've titled show up by name, the rest by number — filter by either to find one fast. Tap to jump, long-press to rename, and add a page from the button below. No folders, no tags, no nesting. That's the whole filesystem.

ExportOut as PDF, drawings and all.<br>One tap, full fidelity. Drawings, text blocks and imported images flatten into a real PDF — print it, mail it, archive it. paplo is the drafting board; the PDF is what survives.
ImportBring in photos and backups.<br>Add photos straight from your library, or restore a paplo backup you saved earlier. Everything drops onto the page, ready for the pencil — nothing to convert, nothing to sync.
