Write something. Words matter. Draw more. Pictures are your pen’s way of showing off. Think more. Your brain is a prison for thoughts, set them free. Set yourself free. Set others free. Make notes. A good note is a memory captured. Memories rock. Rock on. Write on. Do write. Do right. ----------------------------------------- So, it all started, like the best ideas do with three friends in a café. We knew we wanted to create two things, first we wanted to create a 'not-a-service' business, then we wanted to create a business that could change things. However, it was only over our distracted argument regarding the validity of left-brained (lined pages) and right-brained (blank pages) notebooks that the idea for a whole-brained note-taking experience started to take shape. Then we figured if we could change the way we took notes for the better, we could change the way that school kids did too. And that's how our baby, HumanWrit.es, was born. We're very proud, and now you should be too. For every Writable notebook you buy for your ideas, we give a child a pack of storybooks to nurture their own.

A frictionless capture pad for the ideas you would otherwise lose. If you have ever woken at 3 AM with a great idea and nothing to write it on, or watched a brilliant phrase evaporate while you opened a heavier app, Fast Idea Book is for you. It is a calm, on-device idea book built around one job — capture the thought before it fades — and one principle: never make you wait or sign in. Open the app and you are already typing. Quick notes save with a single keystroke. Brainstorm freely without folder rituals, then tag entries afterward when your brain wants structure. Voice memo capture for hands-free moments, brain-dump templates for foggy mornings, and a search that surfaces the half-remembered note in seconds. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets keep the latest idea visible, and the interface ships in 39 languages with full accessibility. Built for writers, founders, students, designers and anyone whose best ideas arrive at the worst possible moment.
