About this app

Search every word you've written.

Rough Notes is a notebook for messy thinkers. Keep writing on paper the way you always have. Snap the page, and Rough Notes keeps it: straightened, cleaned up, readable and searchable, in your account.

Messy is fine. Lost isn't.

SAVE HANDWRITTEN NOTES WITH ONE PHOTO
Point the camera and the page is found, straightened and cleaned on its own: shadows and yellow light gone, your pen colours kept. Or pick a photo you already took.

TURN MESSY HANDWRITING INTO TEXT
Rough Notes reads your handwriting and turns the page into neat text. Copy a line, fix a word, share it anywhere. Mind maps and diagrams are redrawn neatly, and the original photo is always kept.

SEARCH EVERY WORD YOU'VE WRITTEN
Type a word and find the page it's on, in a second. No more flipping through notebooks.

SCAN WHITEBOARDS, BILLS AND SLIDES
Whiteboards before they're wiped, receipts, lecture slides, sticky notes. They all go in the same book.

NO PAPER? WRITE ON YOUR PHONE
Pull down on the home screen for a rough page. Ideas, lists, sketches. Shapes tidy themselves.

ALL YOUR NOTES IN ONE PLACE
No folders to set up. Every page lands in one book, in order. Add tags if you like, and see your notes as a gallery, as lines of text, or page by page.

ACCESS YOUR NOTES FROM CHATGPT AND CLAUDE
Connect Rough Notes once and ask your AI app about anything you wrote: "What did I write about the pricing meeting?" Read only, and only your own notes.

YOUR NOTES. SAFE WHEREVER YOU GO
Your notes are backed up to your account, so a new or lost phone doesn't take them with it. Sign in on another phone and your book is there. Works offline, too.

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT
Your notebook is yours. No ads, no tracking, and your notes are never used to train AI models. Delete a note, or your whole account, any time from Settings.

FREE TO USE
Scan as many pages as you like. Every month, 10 notes are turned into searchable text and you get 20 rough pages. Your first 300 notes are backed up. Notes you've added always stay yours.

Rough Notes is made by Maze Stuff Private Limited.
