Notes Archive 1.0 4+

Love to keep handwritten notes, but can't find something that you wrote years ago? Use Notes Archive to create a searchable archive of all your notes.

Notes Archive is your personal knowledge management system for handwritten documents. Scan, search, and organize notes like never before — all securely stored in your private iCloud.

We all have our own preferences when it comes to handwritten notes — a favorite pen, a perfect notebook, just the right paper texture. Notes Archive doesn’t ask you to change any of that. You know what works for you, and you don't want a "solution" that interferes with your existing system. Notes Archive adds without taking away. Your note-taking system adds search capability to your handwritten pages, without asking you to change your workflow or give up the tools you love.

The Mac version of Notes Archive syncs with your mobile devices, and lets you:

Organize notes into customizable binders

Import any document: images, scans of handwritten pages, and PDFs

Search your handwriting using on-device OCR

Highlight search results directly on the page

Reorder, copy, or move pages between binders

Export binders as PDFs for backup or sharing

Your data stays private, syncing securely through your iCloud account. No sign-ups. No tracking. Just your notes — searchable, portable, and yours.
