The Halloween Pack is here. Open Platen tonight and let the paper stir. • Seven capsules: Frankenstein sparks as you type; Ghost Lantern; Lantern Pumpkin with a flickering candle; Mummy with swinging bandage tails; Delft Skeleton; Haunted House with windows lighting up one by one; Crystal Storm with lightning. • At night, cobwebs on the rail sway with the capsule, spiders cross the paper, bats leave the lamp, and thunder rolls with lightning. • Two rail ends: a carved Jack-o'-Lantern that glows at night, and Mummy Wrap. Add a red balloon tied to the capsule, carnival lights under the rail and wandering footprints. • Included with Platen Studio, or available on its own. New crafts for your capsule • China: cinnabar lacquer, blue-and-white porcelain and white jade. South Korea: celadon with cranes and mother-of-pearl lacquer. Mexico: Tenango embroidery and Oaxacan black clay. Each pack is carved in 3D from real crafts and included with Studio. Jade and brass rail ends join them; packs now sit in tidy rows you swipe. You asked, we listened • Flower bookmarks in six colours, with a colour filter in the Box. • Platen now speaks Russian (Русский). Russian, accented letters (é, ü, ñ…) and Greek get the real typewriter strike and uneven ink. • Korean, Chinese and Japanese regain the worn, uneven ribbon look. Characters sit at a balanced size beside Latin letters, fitting more on a line; the hammer strikes during composition and confirmation. • Share short notes with “Centre on page”, the capsule in the middle, and a “Share to Instagram Story” button. • Follow Platen on Instagram, X and Xiaohongshu from Settings. Smoother writing • The first lines stay still, and curved paper no longer briefly flattens. • Photo stamps stay sharp, keeping their size and place. • Selecting and pasting no longer scroll the page under your finger. • Interrupted iCloud sync no longer duplicates letters. • With the narrow margin, the capsule stops at the rail ends. • The home screen shows the full month and letter count.

About
A little machine. A page of your own. Platen brings the feeling of a typewriter to your iPhone: textured paper, imperfect ink, mechanical sounds and a capsule that follows your words. Write letters, capture thoughts and enjoy a quieter place to write. Choose flat or curved paper, your type size and margins, adjust ink darkness and keep corrections as crossed-out letters or erase them cleanly. Long-press the capsule for night writing, then adjust the lamp’s warmth, intensity and beam. Find notes with search and monthly groups. Recover them from Recently Deleted, export a backup or enable optional iCloud synchronization with the same Apple Account. Start free with three active notes and the original writing setup. Platen Studio is an optional one-time purchase for more notes, paper choices, capsule styles, rail finishes, gardens, additional sounds and print-ready A4, US Letter and A5 sheets. No subscription. All future Studio features included. Each note supports up to 3,000 characters, including spaces and line breaks, in both the free edition and Platen Studio. Made by Rafikki Studio.
