Type and handwrite in the same note. Oaklet Notes puts your writing, Apple Pencil handwriting, whiteboards, tables, and math on one page, and recognizes your handwriting on your device, so search finds what you wrote by hand. Everything stays in an encrypted vault on your device. No account needed, and it works fully offline. ONE NOTE, EVERY WAY YOU THINK • Type with a block editor, then write over it with Apple Pencil — your ink moves with the line it's next to • Handwriting is recognized on your device: search your handwriting, or turn it into typed text • Whiteboards for mind maps and flowcharts, drawing with layers, tables with formulas, LaTeX math, task lists • Lay out blocks side by side, or freely as cards connected with lines • Decorations — stickers, sticky notes, tape, and stamps LOCKED TO YOU • AES-256-GCM encryption protects every note • Vault password, plus an optional Note Password for sensitive notes • Unlock with Face ID or Touch ID • Auto-lock when you step away • Works fully offline, and your notes never pass through our servers • Sign in with Apple is optional and only used to carry a subscription to your other devices.
