## What is SmooGo Note?

Your lecture, your ideas, your notes – in one place. SmooGo Note brings lecture notes, handwriting, PDFs and audio together on iPhone, iPad and Mac and helps you remember what you learn.

THINK WITH APPLE PENCIL
Write and sketch on iPad with Apple Pencil. Without a Pencil, you can turn on finger drawing. Pause briefly at the end of a stroke and it becomes a line, a rectangle or an ellipse – you can turn this off and set the smoothing yourself. Place images right on the canvas. Write a sum ending in “=” and SmooGo adds the result.

FIND EVERYTHING AGAIN
Search also finds your handwriting, the text in PDFs and text in images, and takes you to the spot.

FLASHCARDS WITH SPACED REPETITION
SmooGo suggests cloze cards from your highlights, turns selected text into a card with one tap, and lets you write your own in seconds. You study with FSRS, a modern spaced-repetition method: what you know well comes back less often, what you find hard comes back sooner. Before the exam, a quiz with four answers drawn from your cards checks what you know.

RECORD AND REPLAY
Record the lecture while you write. On playback, your handwriting appears stroke by stroke in step with the recording. Tap a line and the recording plays from just before it. With SmooGo Pro, transcription runs on the device where the feature and the language are supported by the system.

SLIDES BESIDE YOUR NOTES (PRO)
Open a PDF next to your notes. New paragraphs and strokes are linked to the visible slide, and markers take you back to the right slide later. Export your notes together with their slides as a PDF.

SCAN AND MERGE
Scan worksheets and handouts with the camera. SmooGo adds them to your note as a PDF with searchable text. Merge several PDFs into one. Read slides and PDFs light on dark when you like.

MOVE IN WITHOUT STARTING OVER
Bring your notes from Evernote, Goodnotes, Notability and OneNote. From Goodnotes, Notability and OneNote, your handwriting arrives as editable strokes. Everything happens on the device, without an account and without uploads.

ON ALL YOUR APPLE DEVICES – FREE
Sync through your private iCloud database is free: notes, drawings, flashcards, PDFs and recordings on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Share a notebook through iCloud and write in it together. Export your library at any time to take everything with you.

YOUR NOTES STAY YOURS
No account with us, no ads, no tracking and no analytics. We run no servers for your content. iCloud is used only if you turn on sync yourself.

FREE TO START, GO FURTHER WITH PRO
SmooGo Note is free: notes, drawing with Apple Pencil, search in handwriting and PDFs, flashcards with quizzes, recordings with replay, scanning, import, iCloud sync and export, with three notebooks of your own.

SmooGo Pro adds:
• unlimited notebooks of your own
• slides beside your notes with linked lines and a notes-with-slides PDF
• on-device transcription of your recordings
• summaries, tasks, tag, flashcard and quiz suggestions with Apple Intelligence – only on devices that support Apple Intelligence; languages depend on system settings
• recognising text in photos and adding it to your note
Everything you created stays readable, editable and exportable without Pro.

SmooGo Pro is available as a yearly subscription with a 7-day free trial, a monthly subscription or a one-time lifetime purchase. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac with the same Apple ID. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can cancel any time in your Apple Account settings.
