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 personal writing workspace for the book only you can write
Start from author and book interviews, spoken thoughts and selected writing so your manuscript is grounded in your own experience, purpose and intended reader.
Get help shaping outlines, chapters and research trails while keeping every change open to your own review and approval.
Work in a browser editor with chapters, notes beside your draft, and a wording review that flags patterns for you to consider.
See separate states for voice, originality, accuracy and continuity, presented honestly as review signals rather than measured scores.
