Apple Notes reveal

An iPhone note typing itself out — a bold title first, then short confessional or listicle lines beneath it, with quiet keystroke ticks, closing on a branded card.

It is one of 13 native HTML ad templates in Hermoso — formats rendered from real markup by a browser rather than generated by a model. This one outputs a video, with 4 copy slots you fill.

When to use it

The screenshot-of-a-note format that populates Instagram and TikTok. It suits lists, confessions, lessons and any message that is really a piece of writing rather than a picture.

The thing to get right

The mockup was extracted from a real iPhone screen recording rather than approximated, which is why it survives being watched full-screen on the device it is imitating.

The format at a glance

  • Output — a video.
  • Copy slots — 4, each with its own character budget derived from the layout rather than guessed.
  • Assets required — none — it renders from copy and your brand alone.
  • Template id — apple-notes.

How this template renders

Nothing here is generated by an image or video model. The format is a self-contained HTML page whose animation is a pure function of time — no CSS keyframes, no timers, no randomness — and the renderer steps that page frame by frame in headless Chrome, screenshots each frame, and assembles them with ffmpeg into an H.264 file that ends on a crossfade into your brand end card.

Two things follow from that. The render is deterministic: the same inputs produce the same file, so a format that looked right yesterday looks right today. And every word on screen is real browser-rendered text, which means the copy is exact and stays sharp at any resolution. The whole thing costs a couple of credits rather than a video generation, which is what makes these formats practical to run at volume.

How long should the note be?

A bold title and a handful of short lines. Nobody writes a paragraph in Notes, so a long one stops reading as a screenshot of something real. The typing animation also runs in real time, which means a long note spends most of the ad watching a cursor.

All 13 are listed on the native ad template index, and the wider catalog is on the creative recipes index.

The apple notes reveal template is reachable from Claude, Cursor, Codex or any other MCP client as well as from the web studio, with the same brand grounding. Driving a format from an agent covers the setup.
