Paper is a great choice for anyone who likes focused writing. It features a simple and clean layout that helps you concentrate on your words without distractions. You can style your text easily using Markdown formatting — just a few simple characters let you add headers, bold text, or lists. Plus, by using intuitive gestures, like scrolling to zoom in or rotating to undo mistakes, you can control your workflow effortlessly, making your writing sessions even more productive.

Paper features
Create a distraction-free environment
With Paper’s sleek, paper-like design, your workspace can become a calm writing area. Activate Focus Mode to dim unused parts of the document, allowing you to concentrate solely on your writing. This feature is especially handy when you make edits.
Format with Markdown easily
You can easily add some style to your notes with Markdown using just a few simple symbols. For instance, put a hash symbol (#) in front of your headings, and use asterisks (*) for bullet points. The Paper app highlights your formatting right away, so you get instant feedback on what you’re doing, making it super easy to catch any mistakes in your notes.
Control your writing with intuitive gestures
With just a scroll, you can zoom in on your text; a quick rotate with your forefinger and thumb clockwise and anticlockwise helps you undo mistakes; and a simple pinch lets you resize your document. These handy gestures make it super easy to move around your work and keep your ideas flowing smoothly.
Track your progress with the counter
Finding it hard to stay focused on your writing goals? The built-in counter in the Paper app tracks your characters, words, and reading time. It helps you monitor your progress and stay productive during your writing sessions.
Easily export your work
Export your writing to PDF, HTML, RTF, or copy it to your clipboard to share your documents effortlessly or use them in other applications. This flexibility ensures you can present your work exactly how you need it.
