CompBook recreates a composition notebook as a set of customizable digital books for notes, journals, lyrics, classwork, business ideas, and sketches. Give each book a cover, choose lined, dotted, or graph paper, and switch between typing and drawing on the same page. Search the library or a single book, reorder or duplicate pages, and move content between notebooks. On iPad, a compatible Apple Pencil can be used for drawing. Books and pages can be exported to PDF, while local backups can be moved to another device through Files or AirDrop. CompBook costs $1.00 to download in the US App Store and has no in-app purchases, account requirement, or automatic cloud sync. Notebook content stays on the device unless the user exports or shares a file. It requires iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 on iPhone or iPad.
