## What is Notebook?

Zoho Notebook is a free, ad-free note-taking app for students, teams and researchers: capture, find and reuse what you write down — typed notes, Apple Pencil handwriting, voice recordings with AI transcription, checklists, files and document scans in one note.

Syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and other devices. 

WHAT PEOPLE USE NOTEBOOK FOR

1. MEETING AND LECTURE NOTES
Record with audio or video cards; Notebook AI turns it into searchable text with timestamps, so you jump straight to the decision instead of replaying it. Structured minutes with title, participants, decisions and action points sit in the note beside your highlights. Record screen and self at once; longer videos get chapters.

2. STUDY AND RESEARCH
Record lectures and search the transcript weeks later. Scan textbooks and business cards, handwrite and sketch with Apple Pencil, use OCR to find text inside photos and handwritten notes, so nothing you captured becomes unfindable. A long note becomes an AI mind map before an exam.

3. DAILY TO-DOS AND JOURNALING
Dedicated checklist cards keep tasks beside your notes, and recurring reminders keep them on schedule. Journaling prompts come from your own activity, easier to keep than a blank page.

4. FILES, SCANS, AND SAVED READING
Add PDFs, Word docs and spreadsheets with file cards. Articles, videos, recipes and how-tos become Smart Cards, formatted automatically, readable offline and ad-free. Group it all into nested collections.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK

Is it free?
Yes, with 2GB of free storage and no ads. Notebook Pro adds more storage, longer notes, larger attachments, Email-In to save emails as notes, premium covers, and custom recurring reminders.

Can I move my notes from Evernote, Google Keep, or OneNote?
Yes, with dedicated migration tools; it arrives organized.

Is my data private?
Notes are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data and never show ads. Lock notes or notebooks with a password, Touch ID or Face ID; previews stay hidden until unlocked.

Does it work offline?
Yes. Create, edit and read offline, then pick up on another device once it syncs to the cloud.

What can Notebook AI do?
Transcribe audio and video, build mind maps, summarize and simplify, fix grammar, set tone (casual, professional, friendly, direct, or confident), translate into any language, draft notes, checklists, tables, code or a template from a prompt, and suggest tags. Notebook AI is a separate add-on.

Does it use on-device AI and Siri?
Yes. An on-device Knowledge Graph links ideas across notebooks and answers questions from your own notes. Siri creates and updates notes by voice with the app closed, and On-Screen Awareness summarizes what's on screen without switching apps.

Can I share with non-users?
Yes. @mention people to collaborate in real time, or publish a public note or video by link.

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-09-14*

terrible，new to this app just made a long notes and saved then disappeared, tried second times with another note and saved homepage again not showing up

### 3/5 — Limitations

*2026-09-02, version 6.8.39*

Once you make a card you cannot edit it. You can’t delete anything. I keep my list of meds in there and some have changed. I’d have to start all over just to delete one and add two new. That’s unacceptable

### 5/5 — 🖤

*2026-09-02, version 6.8.38*

I love you so much and my good can.😍

### 1/5 — Notebook glitches

*2026-08-17*

Great app until you need to find something on a different device.  Sync does not work.  Frustrating experience.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the frustrating sync experience. Please submit feedback along with the app logs by going to Notebook > Settings > Help & Support > Feedback and briefly describe the sync issue. This will help our team investigate the problem and assist you further.

### 1/5 — Better luck next time?

*2026-08-16*

Maybe not… I tried to create my account and received an error message saying I couldn’t create an account over and over again.

**Developer response:** We're sorry for the trouble you've experienced while trying to create your account. Please reach out to our support team at support@zohonotebook.com with the error details or a screenshot, and we'll help you get your account set up successfully.

### 5/5 — Glorious

*2026-07-29, version 6.8.36*

Couldn’t say more.

### 3/5 — New Update Not Working

*2026-07-28, version 6.8.36*

The latest update, which introduces the capability to import and export files in Markdown and HTML formats, appears to be malfunctioning. Specifically, imported Markdown files do not open after the import process, and HTML files cannot be edited once imported. Consequently, this update does not significantly improve functionality in this version.

### 2/5 — User Exu

*2026-07-14, version 6.8.35*

The app is great until you change a device. Then it’s a nightmare virtually imply. So is the support. Probably developed to suit very very high techs

### 2/5 — New update

*2026-07-07, version 6.8.35*

Since the new update I lost absolutely everything .

### 3/5 — Password

*2026-06-29, version 6.8.35*

This is a good app overall. It’s clean, useful, and easy to use. The only problem is, with locked notes, you can easily just reset the password by sending and email to the account you’re using. With this, another person could easily look at your locked notes. Could you please add an option that disables this? I just want a locked note that can only open with the password i made. Thank you.
