DiJo is a digital notebook for iPad and Apple Pencil. No account. No cloud. No analytics. No AI. Just you, the page, and your pencil.
Most note-taking apps want to be a platform. DiJo wants to be a notebook — bounded, quiet, and entirely yours.
Everything paper does, plus the handful of things paper can't. Nothing more.
Apple Pencil renders every stroke exactly as hard as you draw it. Four pen sizes, a highlighter, an eraser, and a built-in ruler.
Dot grid, ruled, or blank — in A5 and A6, at near-actual-size proportions. 251 pages to a notebook.
A topic index with page references and ranges. Tap an entry and land on the page. No flipping, no search box.
The A6 landscape spread lifts only the inner page over the spine — the way a real notebook turns, not stretched or faked.
Each notebook can sit behind Face ID or your passcode. More private than a paper notebook left on a desk.
Build a library of notebooks. Per-page undo and redo that's never destructive. Export any page as PDF or image.
This isn't a privacy policy. It's how the app is built. There is no server for your words to travel to.
Requires an iPad and Apple Pencil.
Available in 175 countries.
No — and that's deliberate. DiJo keeps your notebooks on the iPad they were made on. If you want a safety copy, you can turn on optional iCloud Drive backup, which stays inside your own iCloud account. Nothing passes through a DiJo server, because there isn't one.
If you use the optional iCloud Drive backup, restoring your new iPad from an iCloud backup brings your notebooks with it. Your data follows your Apple account — not DiJo.
Yes. DiJo's writing experience is built around the Apple Pencil's pressure-sensitive ink — an Apple Pencil is required to use the app.
No trial, and no free tier with features held back. DiJo is a single one-time purchase of $5.99. You buy the whole app once and own it.
No. DiJo is sold as a one-time purchase on principle. Updates within DiJo 1.x are included.
DiJo is iPad-only. It was designed for the iPad form factor and Apple Pencil from the first day, rather than stretched across devices it wasn't built for.
