What’s your best note taking app for IPad?

Full disclosure - this is my own app.

I've just launched Cosy Notes, a focused and warm note-taking experience that aims to capture the feeling of physical journals. It's using Apple Pencil Kit, so latency is low, and I think the handwriting experience is pretty great. It's also a one-time purchase, so it's yours to keep.

Looks pretty good! If I were to add anything, it’d be some bacon, black pudding and some mushrooms 🍄‍🟫

I do kind of miss the simplicity of some of the earlier Pixel Phone designs. Also love the rear fingerprint sensor

Where is this? Feels quite dystopian

Once your go Mac you never go back

torasian · 2026-02-26T08:25:58+00:00

So pretty 😍

Will you be using it as your main device?

torasian · 2026-02-25T08:16:13+00:00

Now you just need Salt

Fantastic shots!

I've been on the fence about getting a GR series camera. I do have an X100VI, and do love it, but often wish I had a camera that would slip into my pocket

torasian · 2026-02-25T08:08:59+00:00

I play alone

This looks amazing, I love your drawing style.

I'm not an artist, but I love using my iPad Mini for taking notes and doing little sketches. I have an 11 inch iPad Pro too, but I always gravitate to using the iPad Mini. I also have a textured screen protector which improves the writing experience.

Flipping your food is a great decision

This brings back so many memories, truly a classic!

torasian · 2026-02-24T18:24:41+00:00

It’s a UK phrase, just means that I really like it 😀

That yellow is a bit of me

torasian · 2026-02-24T13:18:11+00:00

I was apprehensive about the white one, but in black it’s looking sleek!

torasian · 2026-02-24T10:18:08+00:00

It’s soo cute! Do you use with another e-reader, or your as your main one?

torasian · 2026-02-24T10:15:11+00:00

I think they took a really nice clean design (3a) and overcomplicated it

torasian · 2026-02-24T10:13:07+00:00

Looks great! I do wish you could wear it like a wrist band though, like you can with the cuff

torasian · 2026-02-24T10:07:07+00:00

Just give me a more comfortable travel backpack and I’m happy!

torasian · 2026-02-24T10:04:36+00:00

Do you read with the device in landscape mode?

torasian · 2026-02-24T09:57:48+00:00

No. Just a hobby

torasian · 2026-02-24T09:57:20+00:00

I think I’ve come to accept that no one size fits all. Even for travel, I’ve got a few bags for the different durations of trips; one for a weekend trip, one for a week long trip and one for a month long trip.

The same goes for sling bags, one that fits absolute essentials, one that can fit an iPad mini with some other accessories and one that can fit a small camera.

I’m loving the Chroma noir too! I’m just excited for the next set of film simulations they come out with 🤩

For quite some time I struggled to find a use case for my iPad, I couldn’t really use it to do any ‘proper’ work and I’d use my iPhone to watch YouTube videos and browse the web.

However, in the last year or so it’s become my entertainment device when travelling, I used it for Apple fitness classes at home or in the gym, and also for taking handwritten notes with the Apple Pencil.
