We at ScribbleLab found out that the existing text editors in the market were either too complicated, lacked essential features, or were difficult to customize for our specific needs. We thought "Why isn't there an app that has everything you need?" and that's why we decided to create our own text editor. We wanted the complete control over its functionality and features.
Our mission at ScribbleLab is to create an app that makes everyday life easier for many students. As a student, you often need to use different apps to organize your academic life. So, we decided to integrate four existing apps, namely Reminder, Calendar, Timetable, and Clock, into one app. We also gave it a new, visually appealing design and a seamless integration into our editor.
By creating our own text editor, we were able to design it with our workflow in mind and customize its features to our exact specifications. We made sure that the editor was lightweight but yet powerful, fast, and user-friendly.
We strive to remain true to Apple's human interface guidelines and development patterns, ensuring ScribbleLab looks and feels like an application developed by Apple themselves, which includes a meticulous attention to detail.
To fulfill our mission, we must provide our users with ...
- ... a visual appealing design.
- ... a great user experience.
- ... awsome features that simplify our user's lives.
To enhance the visual appeal of our application, we put careful consideration into its design, resulting in a cute and well-coordinated color scheme.
To ensure a great user experience, we strictly follow Apple's Human Interface Guidelines and development patterns.

You might wonder, "How can an app be good if it has so many features? Is there a catch?" Our response is no. At ScribbleLab, we believe that our app improves with every feature we add. The purpose of ScribbleLab is to provide a platform where you can make notes related to school, work, or personal life ("scribble") and explore the various features we have to offer and customize them ("Lab"). You may wonder how we can provide users with a straightforward graphical interface, but we have that covered too. To keep the UI simple we moved some of the features into the Side Bar where you can acess it with a simple click.
But you might wonder "How are they capable of adapting the features to their customers?" - Well the answer is this, we use the feedback from our community and testers.
Our community comprises of contributors from GitHub, testers, developers, and users. Join our Discord server (coming soon) for improved communication within and among community members.
