Notes for iPad - Pencil Notes

Notes for iPad is a handwritten notebook with planning templates, stickers and PDF export.

Our take

Consider it if you want handwritten notes and structured weekly or project pages together.

Notebook covers and an archive organize separate areas, while images and typed text can sit alongside handwriting.

Keep in mind: It focuses on iPad and Apple Pencil. Premium templates and features need a separate purchase.
