About this app

Handwritten notes, PDFs and sketches with stylus or finger – razor-sharp at any zoom. No forced subscription, no account, no tracking.

Over 1 million downloads. Built in Hamburg, Germany, by an independent developer.

NEW IN VERSION 10

- All-new design with dark mode
- Shapes, connectors and 39 stamps for diagrams
- Lasso selection, alignment guides, snap to grid
- Presentation mode and search across all notes

WRITING & PDF

Write with pressure sensitivity using the S Pen or any other active stylus – or with your finger: the Speed Pen shapes each line from your writing speed. Import PDFs and annotate lecture scripts, forms and contracts right inside the document. Pick your paper: endless canvas, lined, dotted, grid or a custom size.

SKETCHES & DIAGRAMS

Draw shapes and link them with connectors that stay attached when you move things around. 39 stamps, alignment guides and a snap grid turn a quick sketch into a clean diagram, flowchart or mind map – just like on a whiteboard. Every stroke stays editable, down to a single point.

VECTOR ENGINE

Most note apps store your strokes as pixels. HandWrite Pro stores them as vectors: zoom as far as you like and every line stays sharp. Work in layers like in design software and export your drawings as SVG for Inkscape, Illustrator or Figma.

HANDWRITING TO TEXT

Turn handwriting into text with on-device AI that works offline. Your notes never leave your tablet. 10 recognitions are free, unlimited with Premium.

ORGANIZATION

Folders, tags and filters keep your notebook tidy. Search finds any note by name, tag, folder and text.

Ratings and reviews

Good, but could be better. First, I have multiple devices on this account. When I pay for some of the upgrades, it should be available for each of these devices. Instead, the upgrade works on only one device. Second, With regards to circles - I teach math and use my device as a teaching tool - it would be helpful to have a center point for the circle and scribe the circle as if it were a compass. Your drag and expand process is awful. Fix line thickness issue. It defaults to an overlarge size.

Better than what I thought! Very smooth when writing, pages and colors easy to apply. I'm going to have to see how things are going to look when you pay for the additional features. But it's close in some respect to Samsung note app but you get more and don't have to pay with Samsung. It better be really good since you all that money for the phone. Tried others but only this app is in the same ranking to S note.

Best app you have never heard! The only note taking app that lets you easilyy scroll through different pages of a note. I have tried Evernote and OneNote at all the others in this is best by far. I take notes all days throughout the day at work and most other apps make it hard to pick up where you left off. This one makes it super easy. And you can easilyt go back to previous notes to recaps meetings and conversations.
