Get wiser by writing

A notebook you can actually hold.

Cartavie turns your iPad into a real paper notebook. Write with Apple Pencil, drop in your photos, then print your pages as a folded booklet — with your own cover.

An open Cartavie notebook with handwriting, photos and postcards

Everything a paper notebook should be.

  • Just write.

    Apple Pencil writes anywhere on the page. One finger never scrolls the page away — it just rests, like paper. Two fingers turn the page.

  • The ribbon is the spine.

    An embroidered ribbon runs down the centre of the spread. Every control lives there — no toolbars, no clutter, just the notebook.

  • Scrapbook your life.

    Drop in photos from your library. Drag, pinch and rotate them into place like real cut-outs. Deleted one by mistake? A six-second undo brings it back.

  • An on-device fairy painter.

    Type a keyword and a little illustration appears, ready to place like a sticker. It runs through Apple's Image Playground entirely on your iPad — nothing is sent to a server.

  • Print real booklets.

    Export a saddle-stitch PDF, print double-sided on A4, fold in half and staple the spine. Choose a navy or black cover, and export at professional printing service resolution (300 dpi).

  • Private and offline.

    Cartavie has no accounts and no servers. Everything you write stays on your iPad, in your hands.

Three steps to something you can hold.
