The full detail
Anything marked “soon” is in development and not in this release. We mark it rather than leave it out, so you can see where the product is going.
The notebook
The base layer — and it’s free, with no quota.
Apple Pencil handwriting
Pressure-sensitive strokes, palm rejection, immediate response. Built on Skia, not a WebView.
Pen, highlighter, eraser, lasso
The same tools on every kind of page — imported PDF pages included.
Multi-page and templates
Add, duplicate, reorder and drag in the thumbnail rail. Grid, ruled or blank.
Undo without a limit
Every action is written to a local operation log. Importing a 90-page PDF undoes in one press.
Text boxes
Type next to your handwriting when typing is faster.
Your lecturer’s slides become pages in your notebook.
PDF import
Every page comes in at its real dimensions. A 300-page document opens instantly — pages rasterise only when you reach them.
Annotate on top
Your annotations are stored separately from the source file, so erasing them never damages it.
Export an annotated PDF
SoonTake the notebook back out as a single file with your markup baked in.
Understanding the material
What turns a pile of files into a course.
Automatic document detection
Lecture, problem set, summary, practice, past exam, lab, project or note — with no tagging from you.
Summary and key terms
A readable summary of the lecture, the list of definitions and theorems, and a topic breakdown.
Maths survives extraction
Extraction is built so expressions and brackets don’t get chopped in half — a failure mode earlier versions had.
Vector index of the course
SoonEach document is chunked. Retrieval is running on keywords right now — vector search is not currently active.
The tutor
Not a general chatbot — a tutor that read your material.
Answers from your material only
Every answer rests on passages from your own documents. With nothing relevant to draw on, Notero says so rather than inventing.
Cited back to the source
Each answer carries the document and the section it came from, so you can check it. Page-level references are on the way.
Integrity mode on problem sets
When a document is detected as homework or an exam, the tutor switches to hints and guidance and withholds the answer.
Choose the scope
Ask across the whole course, one folder, or a single document.
Saved conversations
SoonReturn to an earlier thread and pick it up.
Practice and progress
From passive material to active study.
Practice generated from your material
SoonQuestions built from your lectures, not from a generic bank.
Exam checklist
SoonA prioritised task list derived from the material, your exam date, and the mastery you reported.
Study plan
SoonTopics spread across the days you have left before the exam.
Weak-spot detection
SoonMastery tracked per topic, plus “study this first”.
Organisation and sync
The things that simply have to work.
Course → folder → document
Deleting a folder never deletes material — documents fall back to the course root.
Write with no connection
Every stroke is written to disk before it is acknowledged on screen. Worst case you lose the stroke under the pen, not the session.
Sync across devices
SoonStart on iPad, carry on at the desk.
Hebrew, English, French
A genuine RTL interface, not a mirrored translation.
That is all of it.Try it on one course.
The notebook is free and unmetered. You only pay for the AI, and only if you want it.
No credit card required.
