Handwritten notes for studying, active recall, and exam prep
Turn the notes you already take into study material you can actually use.
Write by hand or type, organize class and lecture notes, annotate PDFs, build study guides, hide key information, and test yourself before quizzes, midterms, finals, entrance exams, and professional certification exams.
Use your own notes for active recall, review, and exam preparation instead of simply storing information.
□ 4 ways to study with your own notes
1. Memorize key information with colors
Write important words, definitions, formulas, dates, or vocabulary in orange, blue, or other colors using handwriting or keyboard text.
Place the Memorization Sheet over your notes to hide the answers. Try to recall the information first, then reveal it to check yourself.
Long-press the icon to change the sheet color.
2. Hide highlighted sections for active recall
Highlight important sentences, diagrams, anatomy charts, or sections of PDF textbooks and lecture materials.
In Memorization Mode, choose which highlighter colors are hidden. For example, use yellow for regular emphasis and red for material you want to memorize.
3. Keep questions and answers on separate layers
Write questions, answers, and explanations on different layers.
Hide the answer layer, test yourself, rewrite your response, and practice the same digital worksheet again.
4. Cover answers with digital tape
Use the Tape tool in Memorization Mode to cover definitions, formulas, vocabulary, answers, or sections of PDFs without changing your original note colors.
Tap a tape strip to reveal just that answer, or use the Memorization Sheet to cover several areas at once.
□ Review faster with the floating Memorization Sheet
Instead of revealing highlighted areas one by one, drag the floating Memorization Sheet over your notes.
Only the area beneath the sheet is hidden, making it useful for tables, lecture PDFs, study guides, vocabulary lists, diagrams, and exam materials.
□ Practical note-taking tools
・Handwriting and keyboard input
・Multiple pens and highlighters
・Tabs for switching between notebooks
・Ruler, compass, and shapes
・Stickers, sticky notes, and comments
・Detailed eraser settings, including deleting only highlighter marks

□ Write directly on PDFs
Annotate PDFs with handwriting or keyboard text.
If a PDF does not leave enough room for notes, extend the right side of the page to create extra space for annotations, solutions, explanations, or review notes.
□ Use handwriting and typing together
Write by hand or select where you want to type and enter text directly without creating a text box first.
□ Keep your notes organized
Sort notes with categories, folders, and subfolders, and add chapters inside a notebook to separate lessons, topics, or units.
□ Notebook templates
Choose from built-in templates including blank paper, ruled paper, grid paper, and handwritten To-Do pages.
You can also reuse layouts you create for study sheets, daily reports, professional logs, or exam review pages.

Пользуюсь приложением на iPad 11 air, при попытке сохранить запись диктофона, она никуда не сохраняется, также если сохранить заметку в pdf, она куда—то пропадает и никакого pdf файла нет
Developer Response
Пожалуйста, попробуйте последнюю версию приложения.Кстати, при экспорте в PDF должен появиться экран «Поделиться». Если выбрать там «Сохранить в Файлы» (Save to Files), PDF-файл должен сохраниться.
Что с ним :(

Я пользовалась приложение несколько недель, планшет + рукописный ввод карандашом, все более чем устраивало на 10/10. Сегодня документ в котором я все это время работала просто перестал открываться вообще, без возможности пользоваться своими ранее сделанными заметками, это конечно печально ….
Developer Response
В прошлом мы обнаружили проблему, из-за которой при увеличении объема записей в блокноте устройство могло не выдержать нагрузку на память и возникали сбои, в связи с чем мы провели масштабную переработку системы. Возможно, это ее последствия...Приносим искренние извинения. Мы предприняли меры, чтобы подобное больше не повторялось, но мне правда очень жаль, что вы с этим столкнулись.
Improved handwriting and keyboard input in notes!
We hope this university note-taking app helps make studying a little easier!
