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.
All-in-one AI creative studio for images, video, and design
Generate images, video, and audio through one interface that exposes a large catalog of third-party AI models, letting you compare styles and quality without juggling separate accounts.
Crop, retouch, colour-grade, apply effects, and cut short videos with templates designed for social and marketing content.
Automatically cut subjects out of photos and swap in new backdrops or AI-generated scenes in a couple of clicks.
Start from hundreds of thousands of creator-made templates, stickers, fonts, and stock images for fast design work.
