Notebooks is the one and only notebook that you'll ever need. It allows you to conveniently write, capture and organize your ideas, notes, reminders, journals, diaries or details of life that you want to keep close at hand. If you need to take an important note, or search for one, you'll always have the ultimate notebook at your fingertips!
Notebooks stores and displays almost any document you want to carry with you: text and HTML, PDF documents, MS Office or iWork documents, web pages, photos, videos, music and even your Palm memos. Everything you would usually print out and file can now go directly into Notebooks, without adding bulk.
There is one more thing: keep your task lists in Notebooks and tick off your to-dos as you complete them. Divide your projects into nested sub projects, which makes them easier to handle, and cross-reference to your reference library, which you keep in Notebooks, too. When a task reaches its due date, Notebooks' badge on the home screen reminds you of pending business, and an optional acoustic alert tries to draw your attention.
Notebooks combines the power of multiple apps:
• Note Taker
• Text Processor
• Markdown Composer
• Task Manager
• File Storage
• Clipboard Manager
• PDF Converter (including encryption)

By the way: there is a version of Notebooks for iPhone, too.
- You can now define multiple sets of extra keyboard keys.
- These sets of keys are shown in a scrollable list above the keyboard; just swipe left or right to move from one set to the next.
- There is a new setting "Require Passcode Immediately"; turn that off to avoid code entry when leaving Notebooks for less that 30 seconds.
- Various fixes and compatibility improvements.
Full details are available from our website.
