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.

An AI journaling companion that listens, responds, and remembers your story
Instant Chat replies on the next line as you write, and one-tap actions like Go Deeper or Get Perspective give you a fresh angle without leaving your journal page.
Talk out loud in a real-time back-and-forth and save the transcript, or simply dictate an entry and let Reflection transcribe it.
Natural-language search across everything you have written, so you can ask about patterns, people or a specific period and get a plain-language answer.
Structured programs on gratitude, anxiety, relationships and productivity, plus journaling templates, daily reminders and nine light/dark color themes.
