Take handwritten notes, annotate lecture PDFs, and circle what you wrote to turn it into a flashcard. Spaced repetition brings each card back when it's due, so you review what you need, not everything. Strawberry Notes is note taking that tastes sweet to your brain, built for college: lectures, problem sets, exam review and class presentations in one place. The AI assistant comes with free starter credits when you sign in. CONNECT YOUR IDEAS • Infinite canvas with infinite zoom. Write small in the margin, zoom out to see the whole derivation. • Link notes to each other like a wiki, and jump from an idea to the lecture it came from. • Graph view (Sky View): every note and every connection drawn as a live map of your brain's understanding. • Subnotes: any note can live inside another note. A subject holds its classes, a class holds its topics, a topic holds its subtopics — nested as deep as your learning actually goes. NOTES THAT FEEL BETTER THAN PAPER • Whiteboard or Notebook: an endless board or real pages. Switch between them anytime. • Ballpoint and ink pens, a broad-nib calligraphy pen, a chisel-tip marker, a tilt-sensitive graphite pencil, highlighter and laser pointer. • Snap to Shape for clean arrows and circles, plus layers. REMEMBER WHAT YOU WROTE • Write and draw every card by hand or ask AI to make them for you. Add images and PDF snippets. • FSRS spaced repetition, with retention and daily limits you set. • Tape: cover answers, tap to peek, peel it off once you know it. Taped cards become occlusion cards. • Stats, streaks and a daily reminder when cards are due. • Import Anki decks (.apkg) or CSV. AI STUDY TOOLS (sign in; uses AI credits) • Circle what you wrote and ask: it reads handwriting and diagrams and points back to the spot it used. • Practice quizzes: up to 40 questions in 7 formats, with hints and explanations. • Flashcard decks from your notes that join your reviews. • Interactive games and simulations that turn a concept into a hands-on model. • Summaries, outlines, study guides, step-by-step solutions and "check my work". PRESENT FROM YOUR NOTES • Your notes are the slides: bookmark views of a note, tap Present, and the canvas flies and zooms between them with the toolbars hidden. • Advance at your pace or auto-play on a loop. • Tap a link to continue into another note, or open a video or simulation mid-talk. BRING IN YOUR CLASS MATERIAL • Lay PDF pages on the canvas with room to write around them. • On iPad, write beside a lecture video, a web page, a PDF or a second note. • Scan handouts or share files into a note. • Color-coded subjects, tags and tasks with reminders. • Search your typed text and handwriting. PRIVATE AND BACKED UP • No ads. No tracking. Handwriting recognition runs on your device. • Notes and decks sync through your own iCloud, no account needed. • Back up your whole library to one file; restore it on any device. • Dark mode that keeps ink readable, and 16 languages. FREE AND PREMIUM Free to download, with 3 notes and 1 flashcard deck. Premium unlocks unlimited notes and decks, plus Calendar, presentations, Sky View, layers, the calligraphy pen and chisel-tip marker, web, video and PDF panes, and tables and drawings in text documents.
