Handwritten notes, PDF markup, and AI study tools on one canvas
Low-latency ink with palm rejection, cross-out to erase, and handwriting-to-text conversion keeps writing close to pen on paper.
Import contracts, papers, or textbooks and mark them up by hand, with searchable annotations and clean exports.
Search across typed text, handwriting, and sketches, and turn notes into summaries, mind maps, or structured plans.
Work together in shared notebooks, documents, and whiteboards simultaneously, without version conflicts or file ping-pong.
Turn any document, video, or web page into an AI mind map in seconds
Converts more than 30 formats — PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, ebook, Markdown, images — plus YouTube videos and web pages into mind maps.
Ask questions and get answers based on your actual uploaded content and existing mind maps instead of generic model output.
Expand any node with generated explanations, examples, and related concepts to grow a rough map into a complete one.
Choose from classic, logic, org chart, catalog, fishbone, and timeline layouts, and switch between visual map and structured outline.
