Described as a product that turns “unconventional ideas into practical and unique products,” the HEYfold notebook stands out with its promise of endless reusability. Unlike your typical paper pad that ends up in the recycling bin, the trash—HEYfold invites users to write, erase, and write again without the guilt of waste.
For analog lovers who still rely on handwritten to-do lists, travel plans, or impromptu sketches, the HEYfold notebook is a game-changer. It solves a very real problem: finding new space in your well-worn notebook or dealing with outdated notes that don’t need to linger forever. As the original article humorously puts it, “my notebook graveyard could probably keep a fire going for some time.” Sound familiar?
At just 4 mm thick, HEYfold looks like a sleek notepad but is equipped with high-tech features: a Permaflex silicone core and an Inksync coating. These allow users to write smoothly across its four durable surfaces, and then wipe them clean with a simple cloth—supporting both wet and dry erasing without leaving smudges or ghost marks like a typical whiteboard might.
But the clever design doesn’t stop there. HEYfold comes magnetized under the surface, so you can stick it to your fridge, a filing cabinet, or the side of your laptop. The magnets also double up as holders for pens and accessories, and the flexible body can wrap around pages to function as a bookmark. It’s clear that this device was designed for real-world use, not just as a novelty.
Available in two sizes—”Essential” and “Pocket”—the HEYfold offers convenience whether you’re desk-bound or constantly on the go. The pocket edition weighs just 2.65 oz (75 g), making it ultra-portable, while the Essential version still maintains a light footprint at 4.68 oz (138 g).
And for those who like their notes archived, HEYii has included a companion app that converts your scribbles into high-quality PNG or PDF files, ready to be synced with platforms like Google Drive.
Of course, with only four surfaces, it may not be suitable for writing your life story. But for quick brainstorming, task lists, travel notes, or creative sketches, it’s a stellar hybrid between analog charm and digital function. As the article puts it, “it offers that notebook ‘experience’ with the flexibility of updating content as you would digitally.”
Another big plus? You can jot down notes on the HEYfold without needing a table—it lies completely flat and sturdy, no support required. Ideal for travel, public transport, or even balancing on your knee during a meeting.
Currently crowdfunding on Kickstarter, HEYfold offers packages starting at $45 for the Pocket version and $53 for the Essential, with combo bundles beginning at $79. With over $60,000 raised from more than 100 backers, HEYii’s sixth crowdfunding project is already gaining momentum.
If all goes to plan, deliveries are expected to begin worldwide in July.
