Write on paper, keep it digital. The XNote app works with the XNote smart pen and XNote paper: what you write by hand appears in the app as you write, ready to search, summarize and share. What you can do • Handwriting-to-text: Turn your handwritten pages into text you can search, copy and edit, including tables and diagrams. • Write without your phone: The pen keeps the pages you write and sends them to the app the next time it connects. • AI summaries and chat: Get a summary of a page, ask questions about your notes and turn them into tasks. AI chat is included, with usage limits. • Meetings and recordings: XNote can join your Google Meet, Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings to record, transcribe and summarize them (paid plans). Or tap record in the app to capture a lecture or a voice note on your phone, and link recordings to your notebook pages. • Organize and find: Notebooks, tags and search keep every page easy to find. • Printable pages: Print free pages from the app's template catalog, such as planners and meeting notes, on a laser printer (US Letter or A4). • Share and export: Share a page with a link, share a recording with its summary, or export pages as PDF, Word, Excel, Markdown, text or images. • Send notes where you work: Automations send your notes and summaries to Notion, Slack, Todoist and Zapier. • Sketch to image: Turn a quick sketch into a finished image. • Phone and web: Your notes sync to your account, so you can open them on your phone and on the web. Good to know • The pen captures handwriting only on XNote paper: XNote notebooks, or pages you print from the app. • The XNote smart pen and notebooks are sold separately at xnote.ai. • The pen has no microphone. Recordings come from your phone or the meeting bot. • The Free plan includes 150 audio minutes a month.
