Private binders need an approved web session from Settings › Sync on iPad or Mac. Basic or Pro sync required for cloud binders.
A record of what changed.
Each save is a new revision. Each change is logged with who made it, when, and on which device.
Version history
Every save creates a new revision. Earlier versions remain available. When two devices edit at once, both copies are kept; nothing is silently overwritten.
Tamper-evident audit log
Each change is recorded with who, what, when and which device. Entries are append-only and hash-chained, so alteration of the record is detectable.
Encrypted before it leaves the device
On iPad and iPhone, files use iOS Data Protection. If you sync, the binder is encrypted on the device before upload. We do not have the keys. Optional AI features stay off unless you turn them on.
Works without a network
Edits save on the device and sync when you are online again. A classroom, a plane or a site visit without Wi-Fi is not a problem.
Teams and administration
Shared binders, an admin console, single sign-on and Private Sync are planned for Teams and Enterprise. Private Sync keeps documents on a Mac you operate. Contact sales →
Standard PDFs
Documents remain ordinary PDFs, and handwriting is a standard PDF annotation. Export is available on every plan, including after a subscription ends.
Free to write. Pay for sync.

Questions
When can I use BinderTastic?
BinderTastic is in private preview, beginning on iPad. Request access and we will invite you as places open. iPhone, Mac and the web app use the same App Store purchase.
Will my annotations show up in other apps?
Yes. Handwriting is stored as standard PDF ink, so it appears in Preview and other PDF readers, and when you email or share the file.
What happens if I stop paying?
Binders on your devices stay. For 365 days after the subscription ends you can still sign in to read, download and export the cloud copies, or export everything as one zip. After that window, cloud copies are subject to deletion. We notify you before anything is removed.
Does BinderTastic use my documents to train AI?
No. Optional AI features are off by default. Documents are never used to train models.
Can I import from GoodNotes, Notability or files I already have?
Any PDF can be imported from Files, email, the share sheet or, on the Mac, by dragging from Finder. Most note apps export notebooks as PDF, which BinderTastic opens with the handwriting intact.
How do I organize tabs and documents?
On Mac and in the web app (Edit mode), drag tabs, subtabs, folders and documents, and drop PDFs from your desktop. On iPad, reorder tabs on the rail among siblings, drop files onto the open tab or folder, and drag documents onto folders. See Web app for a full comparison.
Where is my data stored?
On your devices. If you turn on sync, the binder is encrypted there and the encrypted copy is stored in Google Cloud (Firebase) in the United States. We do not have the keys. See the Privacy Policy and Security page.
