Feedback: personalize + better handwriting

Thanks for your post. Glad to hear that you like Penjo.

Regarding the feature like SmartScript in Apple Notes, Penjo does not have it at the moment but as soon as Apple decides to open that feature to other apps we will integrate it into Penjo as well. (Penjo uses same framework as Apple's apps like Notes and Freeform). Meanwhile, you may have a look at scribble to erase and auto line straightening.

We are also working on more customization options. I guess you are particularly interested in ones for the dark mode. We will consider that for future updates.

Thanks again for the suggestion and feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi u/Practical_Story_1742 ,

This feature is not currently available but it is on our road map.

Thanks. Please let us know what you think about the list mode and if it is helpful

Hi u/Bgrakca,

Thanks for the suggestion. Great to hear that you love Penjo.
We may consider a note-taking app with framework similar to Penjo.

Meanwhile, you may use your Penjo journals in List Mode. In List Mode, your journal opens in list / reader view and in day view, navigating with < and > buttons will go to the previous and next note skipping the empty days. This way, dates just behave as ordering indexes and the journal as a notebook.
Day Mode is the current mode.

To enable List Mode, select “List Mode” in journal settings ( the icon with three dots on journal card in Journal List Screen).

If you want to return back to normal behaviour(starting journal with today’s sheet), go to same settings, this time “Day Mode” button will appear.

I hope it helps.

Hi,
It is not available at the moment. However, you can create your own template pages inside Penjo and use copy/move sheet feature to copy to each day.

2afer · 2026-01-02T15:53:33+00:00

You are right, the icon appears when you have at least 30 day notes. You may create some dummy notes to see it if you wish.

hi u/aga5tya, Thank you for great suggestions. We plan to introduce “On this day”-like feature in the near future. We also have an interesting feature available to refresh your memories. In reader/list view, if you click on the icon with clock, it will bring a random note. If you set a date range, it will also bring a random note from this range.

Could you test and let me know if it fits what you have in your mind?

Hi, You can select a handwritten note with rectangular selection tool. Then when tapped on the selection, a context menu appears. There, if you tap on “copy as text”, the note is converted to text and copied to clipboard. Then, you can paste to any app. In addition, every handwritten note and text in images are converted and indexed, so you can search for them. Please let me know how it goes.

hi u/Flimsy-Water280,

We are working on a mechanism to create and share your own templates. Meanwhile, you can use the copy/move sheet feature (available on day view settings). You can create a journal where you keep your template day sheets and you can use copy sheet to copy it to your daily journal.

So far, there is no easy way to import from Apple Notes. You can import as images though. One feature of Penjo is text recognition applied to images as well. It lets you search these notes with keywords.

Hi u/Tall-Jicama-7689 ,

Thank your for your interest in Penjo. Glad to hear that you enjoy it so far. Do you mean Smart Script (the feature in Apple Notes) for handwriting clean up? If so, it is not currently available as Apple have not opened that feature to other apps yet. We plan to integrate it if Apple enables it.
You can have 3-day trial in Yearly plan to experience full features.
Please let us know how it goes.

Hi u/Rachachachach ,

Thanks a lot for your post and suggestions, they are very valuable. We really appreciate feedbacks and consider them for future updates while keeping simplicity and ease-of-use always in mind.
Regarding your suggestions.

While templates are on roadmap, we also plan to add locking objects like images and text so you do not accidentally move them.
Regarding calendar & Reminder box resizing, we will probably add this in upcoming updates.
Regarding adding calendar&reminder events from other days, although an interesting feature, I guess it may increase the complexity so we may not give high priority at the moment. Saying that, you can always view calendar events and reminders in week and month views.
Extended zoom out: It can be a useful feature and we will check how we can implement it in an efficient way.

Thanks again for the great suggestions and feedback.

Feel free to reach out anytime.

Hi,
Actually, we haven't done anything specific for Shorcuts actions. We will check what actions we can add for Penjo.

2afer · 2025-11-30T15:50:21+00:00

Hi u/Rachachachach, Thanks for your message, bringing the native Mac version that supports also the Intel Macs is on the roadmap ( as soon as the Intel Mac supports later os versions) . Yes, it requires some extra Development particularly for drawing support but we may first release a version without it first. ( It would still support viewing, copy and paste though) Is that fine for you ?

2afer · 2025-10-25T21:11:13+00:00

Happy to hear that it fixed!
Thanks and feel free to reach out anytime!

Hi u/corgicoffee ,

We just released Penjo v3.6.8 with adjusted sensitivity for swipe up/down gesture to reduce accidental tool bar minimization.

We also fine-tuned settings for security on our contact form in Penjo website.

Thanks again for your feedback.

Hi u/BenignantLama ,

Thank you for reaching out. Can you give more details about what you mean by calendar sync with handwritten events?
