Message from the founder
.

"I'm an independent iOS developer selling PaperTrace to focus on other projects. The app is live on the App Store, generates recurring subscription revenue and has attracted organic downloads. It includes an established drawing experience, an extensive template library and monetisation through subscriptions and ads. This is an opportunity for a new owner to take over an existing product and grow it through ASO, marketing and further development."
