## What is ClassNotes?

ClassNotes is a handwriting-first notebook for iPad, built so what you write is exactly what stays on the page.

WRITE, DON'T FIGHT YOUR APP
Your Apple Pencil ink is recorded exactly as you draw it — no smoothing, no reshaping, nothing "cleaned up" behind your back. Turn on live beautification only if you want your handwriting typeset as you go.

SMART TOOLS, ON YOUR TERMS
• Hold a shape steady and watch it snap into a clean line, circle, rectangle, or triangle — still adjustable until you lift the pencil
• A real two-finger ruler for straight edges
• Paint bucket fill that flows under your ink, not over it
• Scribble to erase
• Sticky tape, text boxes, and photo/file drops
• Full undo/redo history, per page

NOVA, YOUR AI STUDY PARTNER
Circle anything — a diagram, an equation, a paragraph — and ask NOVA about it. It sees exactly what you circled, not just the text, so it can actually explain a graph or work through the diagram you drew.

MADE FOR NOTEBOOKS
28 cover designs, 14 paper templates, custom paper and line colors, multiple page sizes and orientations, and a dedicated whiteboard page for freeform sketching.

FIND ANYTHING
Search across typed text and your own handwriting — even pages you never touched with a keyboard.

STAYS IN SYNC
Signs in with your ClassMate account. Notebooks, pages, and attachments sync automatically, and pages you write on iPad show up — searchable, zoomable — right in the ClassMate app.

READ ANYWHERE
The iPhone companion app is a fast, read-only viewer for your whole library — perfect for a quick look between classes.

Free to use. No paywall on the notebook.


## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-17

This update is a reliability pass on the things you use every stroke:

• Ink colour now always renders exactly what you picked — including true black or white on a dark page, which could previously come out inverted
• NOVA answers more reliably when you circle or scan something to ask about it
• Apple Pencil's double-tap and squeeze reliably toggle the eraser (and your last tool) again, every time
• A rare case where a fast, cornered letter (like a quick M or W) could vanish along with nearby writing is fixed
• Pinch-to-zoom is noticeably smoother

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-12

This update is about polish and precision:

• Ink colour is now exactly what you pick, every time
• Resizing photos is smoother — no more flicker mid-drag
• Pinch-to-zoom feels more fluid
• Lasso-select: pasted content always lands on top, and a selection now resizes by its corner handle
• New: a straight-line tool — pick a direction, tap the page, get a perfectly straight line in your pen's own colour and thickness
• New: a library of ready-made graphs for the function-plot tool — math, physics and computer science, organized by subject, with your recent picks remembered
• Apple Pencil's double-tap and squeeze now correctly return to whatever tool you were actually using, not just the pen

### 1.0 — 2026-09-03
