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.
A smart notebook for building and organizing fictional universes
Create dedicated, richly structured pages for characters, locations, items, creatures, organizations, lore, timelines and more.
Connect pages through relationships so a character links to their city, faction or family, keeping your world consistent and navigable.
Keep your entire universe in one searchable space, so you can find that minor noble's name mid-chapter without digging through files.
Build worlds for novels, D&D campaigns, screenplays or game design, and share or export your notes as your project grows.
