The notebook that never runs out. ✏️ Write. Erase. Repeat. • Pocket-sized • Always ready
If you are someone who loves the physical feeling of pen on paper but hates the clutter and environmental waste of half-filled notepads, your everyday carry is about to get a major upgrade. The HEYfold Mini is a revolutionary "eternal notebook" that perfectly bridges the gap between analog writing and digital convenience. By combining an ultra-slim, foldable design with an infinitely reusable silicone surface, this pocket-sized notepad lets you jot down ideas, scan them securely to the cloud, and wipe the slate clean in seconds. It is the ideal, sustainable companion for list-makers, creatives, and professionals who need a reliable place to capture their thoughts on the go without wasting a single sheet of paper.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator: HEYfold Mini: A Reusable Notebook System for Life on the Go by HEYii.
What It Is: HEYfold Mini is an ultra-thin, endlessly reusable digital-friendly notebook. Instead of using traditional paper pages, it utilizes a specialized silicone and coating system that allows you to write, erase, and reuse the writable surfaces thousands of times without leaving smudges, ghosting, or residue.
KEY FEATURES
Limitless Reusability: Crafted with a proprietary Permaflex Silicone Core and an Inksync Coating, the pages support both wet and dry erasing. The surface dries instantly so your writing doesn't smudge, and wipes completely spotless in seconds when you are ready to start over.
Ultra-Slim and Flat Design: At just 4mm thick and weighing only 75 grams (2.65 oz), the pocket-sized notebook takes up practically no space. When opened, it provides a completely flat, rigid writing surface that doesn't require a table or desk to lean on.
Magnetic Versatility: Hidden internal magnets allow the notebook to stick to metal surfaces like fridges or laptops for easy display. These magnets also securely hold your pen so you never lose it, and allow the notebook itself to snap around pages to act as a handy bookmark.
Smart Digitization: A dedicated companion app lets you instantly scan and convert your notes or sketches into high-quality PDF or PNG files, automatically syncing them to cloud services like Google Drive before you erase the page.
Eco-Friendly: By replacing disposable memos and scratch paper, a single HEYfold notebook is designed to save over 10,000 sheets of paper throughout its lifespan, making it a highly sustainable addition to your workflow.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing: Backers can secure the HEYfold Mini Pocket set starting at 45 dollars (a 26 percent discount off retail), or the larger "Essential" size for 53 dollars (a 33 percent discount).

Delivery: The campaign has quickly surpassed its funding goals, with worldwide shipping to backers estimated to begin in July.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Sustainable Minimalism. The creators at HEYii operate on a "less is more" philosophy, believing that people shouldn't have to sacrifice the tactile joy of handwriting just to reduce paper waste and desk clutter. They designed HEYfold to be a permanent fixture in your pocket—a single tool that handles endless daily tasks without leaving a physical footprint.
INSPIRATION
The project was inspired by the sweet spot between analog tradition and digital efficiency. Building upon their five previous successful crowdfunding campaigns for reusable writing tools, the HEYii team realized that while users loved their existing desktop products, they needed something significantly more portable for daily travel. They engineered the HEYfold to be as thin as possible, integrating smart magnets and app connectivity so that capturing a fleeting thought on the train is just as easy as saving it forever.
