Notebooks that feel like paper, and never get lost
Type, handwrite or draw — on your phone, tablet or laptop. Everything saves itself.
What it does
Real handwriting, not a compromise
Write with an Apple Pencil, an Android stylus, a mouse or your finger. Pressure-sensitive ink with six pen thicknesses, a highlighter, and two erasers — one that rubs out pixels and one that removes a whole stroke with a single tap.
An infinite canvas
Never run out of page. Pan in any direction and keep going — a mind map, a site sketch, a derivation that ran long. Zoom out to see the whole thing.
Notebooks, pages and sections
Organise like a real shelf: a notebook per subject or project, pages inside it. Rename, reorder and search — no more scrolling through a thousand untitled notes.
Text and drawing together
Type your lecture notes and sketch the diagram beside them on the same page. Export a page as PDF when you need to share or print it.
Getting started
Three steps. Nothing to configure.
- 1
Open the dashboard and choose 📓 Notes, then create your first notebook — name it after a subject or project.
- 2
Add a page and start writing. Everything saves by itself a moment after you stop; there is no save button to forget.
- 3
On a tablet, switch to the pen tool and write by hand. Pick a thickness, and use tap-erase to remove a whole stroke instantly.
Why it's worth it
Your notes outlive your devices
Paper notebooks get lost, soaked and left behind. Notes on one phone die with that phone. These open on any device you sign into.
Handwriting helps you remember
Research on note-taking has repeatedly found that writing by hand engages memory more than typing. You get that benefit without carrying a bag of notebooks.
Findable months later
The notebook-and-page structure means the thing you wrote in Baisakh is still findable in Mangsir — which is the entire point of taking notes.
Notebooks — frequently asked questions
The things people actually ask before signing up.
Is Calenote's notebook app free?
Yes. Notebooks, pages, handwriting and drawing are free to use with a Calenote account. There are no ads and nothing is sold to advertisers.
Does it work with Apple Pencil and Android stylus?
Yes. The drawing canvas is pressure-sensitive and supports Apple Pencil, Samsung S Pen and other active styluses, as well as mouse and finger drawing. Ink is smoothed so lines look natural rather than jagged.
Can I write Nepali in my notes?
Yes. You can type in Nepali (Devanagari) using your device's Nepali keyboard, and handwriting works in any script since it captures your actual strokes.
Can I use it offline?
Calenote is a progressive web app you can add to your home screen. The calendar works offline from cached data; notebook changes sync when you are back online.
How do I export a notebook page?
Open the page and use the export option to save it as a PDF — useful for sharing lecture notes or attaching a sketch to an email.
Is there a page limit?
No practical limit for normal use. Create a notebook per subject or project and as many pages as you need.
Notebooks is free. So is everything else.
One account gives you the Nepali calendar, notes, reminders and every dashboard tool — with no ads and nothing sold to advertisers.
