Mi sono imbattuto in questa app tra le tante che sperimento per trovare quella che più risponde alle mie richieste. Ebbene, è un’app fantastica che oltretutto risulta molto naturale nella scrittura e nell’uso anche complesso. Mano a mano sto scoprendo un sacco di funzioni che mi sorprendono ogni volta. E poi è gratis e non ti propone acquisti e/o abbonamenti come altre pretenziose e magari più complicate app. Complimenti e un grande grazie al suo sviluppatore!
Best Notes taking app

This is the only free app that allows you to take notes with all these functions. I have some suggestions: i would like to view two pages on one screen, like when i’m reading a book, and i can’t paste what i copied, if i hold my finger on the screen it doesn’t appear the “paste” button
The best free note-taking app out there!

OrigNotes is genuinely the best note-taking app I’ve ever used. Everything feels incredibly well designed, smooth, and intuitive. It has everything I could ask for in a note-taking app, and the overall experience is just amazing. Honestly, everything is pretty much perfect!There are only two small things I’d love to see improved:• AI-powered flashcards: It would be amazing to have flashcards generated automatically from your notes, or directly from selected text. This would make the app even more powerful for studying and revising!• Dark mode AI chat bug: There seems to be a small visual bug in dark mode where the AI chat text appears white on a white background, making it difficult to readOther than these minor issues, OrigNotes is absolutely fantastic. Keep up the amazing work! I’m excited to see how this app continues to evolve!
