A thoughtful reply that picks up your idea and adds something you hadn't considered.
“What if people paid for table time instead of coffee?”
Your thinking companion for iPad
A notebook that writes back.
Sketch or draft an idea, circle it, and Offo writes back right there on the page, in handwriting. It asks the question you skipped, pushes back where it's shaky, and helps you take the idea further.

How it works
Think on paper. Get a second mind on the page.
-

Sketch or draft
Scribble, doodle, list, draw arrows. It's an endless dotted page, and Apple Pencil feels like a pen.

Circle it
Lasso the bit you're stuck on: a sketch, a few words, even one of Offo's earlier replies.

Offo writes back
A reply appears beside it in Offo's handwriting. Circle the reply to keep the conversation going.
Meet Offo
Something to bounce ideas off.
Offo is a thinking companion, not an answer machine. You sketch and draft. Offo guides, questions and expands your thinking, then hands the pen back to you.
-
Guides. Points you at the part worth thinking about next, so a messy page turns into a direction.
-
Questions. Asks the question you skipped, and names the assumption most likely to be wrong.
-
Expands. Suggests routes you hadn't considered, and leaves sticky notes worth keeping.
You bring the scribbles, I’ll bring the questions. I won’t do your thinking for you, but you’ll never have to think alone.
Good for
- side projects
- plot holes
- talks and essays
- product sketches
- lesson plans
- big decisions
- shower thoughts
Ask Offo to
A thinking partner, not a chat window
Offo's replies are short, curious and on your side. They usually end with a question, so you keep thinking rather than hand the thinking over.
Names the assumption most likely to be wrong, and a cheap way to find out.
“You're assuming people will pay café prices to play games they own.”
A genuinely different route to the same goal, so you're not stuck on your first idea.
“Skip the café. Host a monthly games night in a pub's back room.”
The first thing to do this week to move it forward. Small, concrete, doable.
“Post a one-page menu in two local groups and count the yeses.”
Or type a question of your own, and Offo answers on the page. When a thought is worth keeping, it leaves a sticky note you can drag anywhere.
Made for iPad
Feels like paper. Works like an app.
Apple Pencil first
Pressure-sensitive ink that follows your hand. Once your Pencil is detected, fingers pan and pinch to zoom instead of drawing.
One endless page
Keep a whole project on a single page. Move replies and sticky notes wherever they make sense.
Saves as you go
Every stroke is saved to your account as you write, and pages reopen right where you left off.
Keeps going offline
Write on the train with no signal. Your changes stay on your iPad and save when you're back online.
On all your devices
Your pages live in your account, so they open on any iPad, Mac or PC you sign in on.
Yours to keep, or delete
Your pages are private to your account. Delete a page, or your whole account, whenever you like.
No App Store needed
Install Offo straight from Safari
Offo is a progressive web app, or PWA: a website that installs like an app. Add it to your Home Screen and it gets its own icon, opens full screen and keeps working offline. There's nothing to download and no updates to install.
Open app.offo.ai in Safari on your iPad, and sign in.
Tap Share in the toolbar. In newer versions of Safari it can be under the ••• menu.
Choose Add to Home Screen , then Add. Offo is on your Home Screen, ready to open like any other app.
- Always up to date. New features arrive the next time you open Offo.
- Full screen, its own icon. No browser bars, just your notebook.
- Light on space. Takes up almost no storage on your iPad.
- Works offline. Keep writing without a signal. It saves when you're back.

Questions
Good questions, answered
Is there a free trial?
Not at the moment. Offo is $14.99 a month, and you can cancel anytime from your account. If you cancel, you keep Offo until the end of the month you've paid for.
Do I need an Apple Pencil?
It's made for Apple Pencil, but a finger, trackpad or mouse works too. On iPad, once your Pencil is detected, fingers pan and zoom instead of drawing.
What's a PWA? Is there an app to download?
There's nothing to download from the App Store. Offo is a progressive web app (PWA): a website that installs like an app. Open app.offo.ai in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Offo gets its own icon, opens full screen and keeps itself up to date.
Does it work on my other devices?
Yes. Offo is made for iPad, but it runs in any modern browser, so you can open your pages on a Mac or PC too. Everything is saved to your account.
What's a credit?
Credits pay for Offo's replies. A typical reply uses about 5 credits, and a big, busy sketch uses a few more. Starting pages beyond your 100 a month also uses credits. Opening and editing pages is always free.
What happens if I run out of replies?
Add extra use from your account: $5.99 for 2,000 credits, about 400 more replies. Or wait for your monthly credits to refresh at the start of your next billing month.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly credits refresh at the start of each billing month, so they don't roll over. Extra use credits do, and they're only used once your monthly credits have run out.
Does it work offline?
You can keep writing and sketching without a connection. Your changes stay on your iPad and save when you're back online. Offo needs a connection to write back.
Who writes the replies?
Offo does. Offo is built on Claude, an AI model made by Anthropic. It only sees what you circle, plus any of its earlier replies or sticky notes you include in the circle.
What happens to my pages if I cancel?
They're still yours. You can open and edit every page whenever you like. To start new pages and get replies, you'll need the plan again. Any extra use you bought stays on your account.
How do I pay?
Securely through Stripe, with Apple Pay or any major card. You can change your card, download invoices or cancel from your account.
