About
Pennen is a calm, private, handwriting-first daily journal for iPad and Apple Pencil. One dated page per day, in real ink: past pages seal and become read-only, emoji stickers peel and press on, and the streak forgives — a one-line night still counts. Your pages live only on your iPad and in your own iCloud: no accounts, no ads, no analytics, no AI reading a word. Priced like a notebook — yearly with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime that costs less than a Moleskine.
AI Summary

It emphasizes privacy by storing data locally and in iCloud, with no ads or AI involvement, available via a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase.
