**Notebooks** is a student notebook app designed for school notes, handwriting, studying, and organizing subjects in one simple place. Create different notebooks for every class, such as Math, Science, English, History, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Computer Science, Art, and more. Each notebook works like a real notebook: write page by page, swipe left and right to turn pages, and add new pages whenever you need more space. The main experience is handwriting. Use your finger or Apple Pencil to write notes, solve math problems, draw diagrams, sketch ideas, and organize classwork. Each page is fixed like a real paper notebook page, so your notes feel clean and structured instead of endless scrolling. Need typed notes? Use OCR to convert handwriting into editable text. Save the converted text with each page, copy it, search it later, or use it for studying. **Key Features:** * Create notebooks for different school subjects * Handwrite notes with Apple Pencil or finger * Swipe left and right to turn pages * Add, duplicate, and organize notebook pages * Use fixed notebook pages, not endless scrolling * Convert handwriting to text with OCR * Search notes by subject, page, or recognized text * Use paper styles like blank, lined, grid, dotted, or Cornell notes * Great for students, homework, class notes, study guides, and daily schoolwork Notebooks helps students keep every subject organized while making digital note-taking feel natural, simple, and close to writing in a real notebook.
