A growing collection of reviews and notes from people who use Paperman.

Saving my eyes

This app creates a comfort that I didn't realize I was missing from flat, lifeless pages that left my eyes wanting for more. I'm a dark mode fanatic, and the paper texture really does make things easier to look at for long periods of time, especially reading text. Very quick and easy to disable for my photo editing apps as well, which was a nice surprise. Hard to describe, but once you use it for a day, you'll get it.

Utterly delightful

Holy smokes, I didn't expect to get much from this app, but after two days I can't imagine living without it. Somehow it softens/diffuses the light coming off the screen, and makes it feel cozier and more welcoming. When I turn it off, the screen feels pretty harsh and sterile by comparison. Honestly a wild difference.

I am a former Software Engineer and now a Technology Teacher. While trying Paperman, I've found its natural, paper-like quality to be incredibly pleasant and easy on the eyes. It's a fantastic way to rediscover that 'human-to-paper' connection. Highly recommended!

Downloaded and tried this app out — already love the look and feel of it... I genuinely didn't realise how much eye strain I was dealing with until I used it, so thank you.

It's a fantastic app, I wish I got to start using it sooner.

You need to make an app for mobile. Been using it for 30mins and not going back.

Genius!

That one app you didn't expect to like that much. How come Apple never thought of this? Genius! May you live forever to keep this app alive! 😌

Excellent!

Up until now, I've been manually adjusting my brightness and contrast to keep from straining my eyes, but this gets the job done way better. It's a lot like the e-reader filter I use on my phone and iPad. Yes, it's just software, but it's definitely effective!
