About Notes Plus X
Use your iPad and Apple Pencil to take handwritten notes, markup on imported PDFs, type text, convert handwriting to text, record audio while taking notes, create multi-media notes with images and photos and much more. Handwritten notes are searchable and can be stored on any cloud file service.
First released in 2010, Notes Plus has earned love from millions of iPad users for its superb handwriting experience. Notes Plus X is a complete rewrite as a document-based app where you can keep your notebooks anywhere on device or any cloud service. Learning from 10+ years making handwriting apps and reading user feedback, Notes Plus X provides a distraction-free user experience that is both simple and powerful. Completely rewritten in the latest programming language and technology, it is blazing fast and ready for many updates in many years to come.
WRITE LIKE ON REAL PAPER, AND MUCH BETTER
• Write with Apple Pencil or any capacitive styluses, even with your finger.
• Make any handwriting beautiful with patented vector-based inking effects (US 9189695 B2) for fountain pen, ballpoint pen, wet brush and calligraphy pen.
• Offer many smart gestures to keep distraction away like cross/scrub to delete or circle to select.
• Easily customize pen color, thickness, brush type, and switch between favorite pen styles.
• Convert handwriting to text for search or share.
TYPE LIKE IN WORD PROCESSORS
• Support rich text format like word processors.
• Change text font, color, and size for any text selection.
• Provide text boxes to be easily moved around, customized background, border, and shadow.
HIGHLIGHT LIKE WITH MARKUP TOOLS
• Highlight on PDF, text or handwriting with customizable highlighting styles.
• Automatically straighten highlighting lines to quickly perform any markup task.
• Erase only highlighting, not the text beneath it.
SKETCH LIKE IN DRAWING SOFTWARE
• Auto detect and draw perfect shapes and lines. Insert rich collection of shapes like rectangles, polygons, ellipses, and more.
• Move, resize, rotate, group, ungroup, bring to front, send to back, and much more.
• Insert, crop, rotate images and photos.
BE PRODUCTIVE WITH A POWERFUL TOOL!
• Create a to-do list, daily planner, journal entry, ...
• Manage documents in folders anywhere on device or iCloud or any cloud file services.
• Find notes directly from iOS Spotlight search.
• Present on external display as a digital whiteboard.
If these features are not enough, drop me a line suggesting a feature and I will consider adding it in future versions. I’m planning to keep Notes Plus X loved for another 10 years.
