Take notes, create notebooks, add images, scans, drawings, PDFs, audio recordings, tasks, events, and locations: everything stays together in one simple, complete app designed to support your everyday work and creativity.

Add locations to notes, connect calendar events, record multiple audio clips in a single note, import attachments, and turn images, scans, and drawings into resources that are always within reach. Attachments are a core part of the experience: add photos, PDFs, images, scans, and drawings, then edit, annotate, crop, and export them whenever you need. Color-coded categories make it easier to quickly find what matters. iCloud sync keeps your content updated across your Apple devices, while improvements to performance, zoom, gallery, scanner, and overall stability make the experience smoother and more reliable. NovaNote is built for anyone who wants functionality and creativity in one place: notes, ideas, documents, and memories, always with you.
