About Pattio: Notes & Boards
Your digital shoebox. An endless cork board where you toss notes, photos, links and lists, move them with your finger like real paper, and group them however you like. No structure forced on you: save it first, sort it later — if you ever feel like it. EVERYTHING GOES IN, AND IT GOES IN EASILY Stickies, notes, images, links, checklists, folders, polls, countdowns, expenses, habits, albums, files, videos, places, songs, document scans, notebooks, documents, voice notes, drawings, events, calendars, reminders, doors into other boards and today's weather. Twenty-five kinds of card, every one of them pinned down. Share into it from any app, drag things in from Finder or your photo library, or just paste: Pattio works out on its own whether what you brought is a photo, a link or text. IT MOVES LIKE PAPER The canvas pans and zooms with your fingers. Cards drag, rotate with two fingers and snap straight when they get close. Tap a note and it opens for writing, big and centred, with the colour palette beside it; close it and it goes back to its spot on the board. Photos and folders open big from exactly where they sit, the way iOS apps open, and close again by following your finger. ZONES, NOT FOLDERS Paint a coloured area, give it a name, and drop things into it: whatever lands inside is filed automatically, and whatever leaves is unfiled. AND WHEN YOU WANT ORDER A masonry grid of two, four or six columns, filtered by kind, by folder or by zone. Search everywhere. Export the whole board as a PDF. ON IPHONE, IPAD AND MAC A real native menu bar and proper keyboard shortcuts on Mac. Drawing with Apple Pencil on iPad. Home screen widgets. Eight app icons to choose from. Dark mode with a warm night palette, not a grey one. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Thirteen languages: Catalan, Spanish, English, French, German, Italian, Dutch, European and Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese. IT WORKS WITH NO ACCOUNT Pattio is complete on your device without signing up for anything. An account is optional and only does one thing: sync. Private boards travel end-to-end encrypted, with a key that is yours alone and that we do not hold. No ads and no trackers. The only analytics are pseudonymous — a random per-install identifier, no account and no content — never read what you write, and switch off in Privacy. AND IF YOU WANT, IT’S SHARED Invite people to a board or hand out a link: whoever opens it can look, vote and add notes right in the browser, with nothing to install and nothing to pay. (A shared board has to be readable in your guest’s browser, so that one stops being encrypted. We would rather say so.) THE PLANS The free plan is enough to use Pattio for real: one board, seventeen kinds of card, sync, sharing and 50 MB in the cloud. The paid plans open up the rest: as many boards as you like, all twenty-five kinds of card, and more space. · Free — 1 board · 17 kinds of card · 50 MB · Plus — unlimited boards · every kind · 5 GB · Pro — unlimited boards · every kind · 15 GB Optional monthly auto-renewable subscription. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and it renews only if you do not cancel it at least 24 h before the end of the period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. And if you ever leave, you take it all with you: one button downloads a ZIP with every board as JSON and every original file, byte for byte. Free, always, on the free plan too, and even after a subscription lapses. — Terms of use: https://pattio.app/en/terms Privacy: https://pattio.app/en/privacy
What’s new
Version 1.2.0 · Updated October 10, 2026
Every card now works the same way. Tap one to open it. Touch and hold, then lift your finger, to see everything you can do with it (straighten it, resize it, move it to a folder, duplicate it, delete it…). Touch, hold and drag to move it around the board. On iPad and Mac, right-click opens the same menu. On iPhone, notes, lists and forms open almost full screen, so there’s room to write. Settings has been tidied up: what you use most is at the top, in boxes. And the plans screen is clearer and shorter. New in Settings > Devices: see where you have Pattio and remove a device, which then loses access to your boards. Adding a new one no longer needs your recovery code: just scan its QR code from another of your devices. And under the hood, we’ve started laying the groundwork for end-to-end encrypted shared boards.
