What's New

Version 1.0.2 · November 2026

A smoother hello

A small update to make getting started a little easier.

• Room to type your name. On iPhone Duo's folded screen, the name boxes in the welcome now move up above the keyboard, so you can always see what you're typing.

Version 1.0.1 · November 2026

More room to write

Thank you for filling Gratefold's first pages with us. This update is all about freedom on the page: your words go wherever you want them, and the tools get out of your way.

• Text that goes anywhere. Everything you type now lives in a text box you can put anywhere. Tap Text and start typing, or tap any spot on the page to begin right there. Drag a box where you want it, pull its sides to rewrap, its corners to make it bigger, and turn it to any angle. Headings, lists, checklists, fonts, colors and alignment all come along, and it lines up neatly with the page and your other boxes. What you've already written stays right where it is.
• A notebook that shows you around. You'll find Start Here on your shelf, a little notebook full of examples: text boxes in every typeface and color, checklists, a reminder, a drawing and a sealed page to try. Delete it whenever you like, and add it back anytime from Settings, under Help.
• Tools that float aside. The notebook tools now sit in a slim pill on the side, away from where your hand rests. Prefer the other side? Switch it in Settings. On iPad, they stay up top.
• Zoom in, zoom out, look around. Pinch to get close to the details or step back to see the whole page, and slide it anywhere with two fingers. Tap the zoom label to snap back.
• Just the page. Tap the page to tuck the controls away while you read, or tap with two fingers while you draw. Do it again and they're back.
• One tap to close. A clear ✕ now sits at the top of the tools, so putting a notebook away is never a guess.
• Drag pages into place. In All Pages, press and hold a page and drag it where it belongs, the same way you move apps on your Home Screen.
• Smoother all around. Notebooks open faster, your shelf and the Page Carousel glide and settle naturally, and even big notebooks scroll without catching.
• Sturdier iCloud Sync. We fixed a crash that could happen while syncing. And if the same page changes on two devices, Gratefold now keeps both versions instead of choosing one.
• Better with VoiceOver and larger text. Pages, the carousel and your shelf are easier to move through with VoiceOver, and more of the app grows with your text size.
• And a little something. Flipbooks got roomier on iPhone. If you've found it, you'll know.

Version 1.0 · November 2026

Hello, Gratefold

A notebook that feels like one, for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo.

• Real covers, real paper. Choose a cover and paper for every notebook. Covers wear in the more you use them, just like the ones on your desk.
• Write it, type it, draw it. Handwriting with Apple Pencil or a finger, typed notes, checklists, photos and watercolor, all on the same page.
• Signed, sealed, yours. Seal a page or a whole notebook behind Face ID. No ads, no tracking.
• Made for iPhone Duo. Folded, the outside screen is your notebook's cover. Open it, and you're holding a two-page spread.
