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.
AI-native data design canvas for reversing, diagramming and documenting SQL systems
Reads DDL, CTAS, views and INSERT INTO statements to rebuild your data architecture without migrations or framework changes.
Surfaces primary and foreign key relationships even when no keys are declared, revealing the true structure of your data.
Drag-select nodes and tables, then ask questions, refactor models or co-design in context without switching tools.
Maps dependencies and cross-table relationships grounded in your actual SQL so you can trace downstream effects of a change.
