Zoho Notebook is a free, ad-free note-taking app for students, teams and researchers: capture, find and reuse what you write down — typed notes, Apple Pencil handwriting, voice recordings with AI transcription, checklists, files and document scans in one note. Syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and other devices. WHAT PEOPLE USE NOTEBOOK FOR 1. MEETING AND LECTURE NOTES Record with audio or video cards; Notebook AI turns it into searchable text with timestamps, so you jump straight to the decision instead of replaying it. Structured minutes with title, participants, decisions and action points sit in the note beside your highlights. Record screen and self at once; longer videos get chapters. 2. STUDY AND RESEARCH Record lectures and search the transcript weeks later. Scan textbooks and business cards, handwrite and sketch with Apple Pencil, use OCR to find text inside photos and handwritten notes, so nothing you captured becomes unfindable. A long note becomes an AI mind map before an exam. 3. TASKS, TO-DOS AND JOURNALING A dedicated To-Do tab sits alongside your notes: break work into subtasks, assign tasks to the right people, set due dates and priorities, and get reminders at the right time. Checklist cards keep shorter lists beside the note they belong to. Journaling prompts come from your own activity, easier to keep than a blank page. 4. FILES, SCANS, AND SAVED READING Add PDFs, Word docs and spreadsheets with file cards. Articles, videos, recipes and how-tos become Smart Cards, formatted automatically, readable offline and ad-free. Group it all into nested collections. QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK Is it free? Yes, with 500MB of free storage and no ads. Notebook Pro adds more storage, longer notes, larger attachments, Email-In to save emails as notes, premium covers, and custom recurring reminders. Can I move my notes from Evernote, Google Keep, or OneNote? Yes, with dedicated migration tools; it arrives organized. Is my data private? Notes are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data and never show ads. Lock notes or notebooks with a password, Touch ID or Face ID; previews stay hidden until unlocked. Does it work offline? Yes. Create, edit and read offline, then pick up on another device once it syncs to the cloud. What can Notebook AI do? Transcribe audio and video, build mind maps, summarize and simplify, fix grammar, set tone (casual, professional, friendly, direct, or confident), translate into any language, draft notes, checklists, tables, code or a template from a prompt, and suggest tags. Notebook AI is a separate add-on. Does it use on-device AI and Siri? Yes. An on-device Knowledge Graph links ideas across notebooks and answers questions from your own notes. Siri creates and updates notes by voice with the app closed, and On-Screen Awareness summarizes what's on screen without switching apps. Can I share with non-users? Yes. @mention people to collaborate in real time, or publish a public note or video by link.

-EN- Netlik keeps separated and divorced parents on the same page about their child: shared calendar, meetup records, expenses, documents, decisions and messages in one timestamped record. WHY IT IS DIFFERENT Nothing can be edited or deleted after the fact. Every record is timestamped and visible to the other parent, so coordination no longer depends on memory or goodwill. BUILT FOR TWO PARENTS Netlik assumes both parents take part. Steps that need the other parent's response - approvals, day swaps, meeting requests - complete only when they answer. FREE Shared calendar, meetup records, messaging, and a calm-tone assistant that reviews a message before you send it. SUBSCRIPTIONS Netlik Plus adds expense sharing, decision requests, dispute resolution, documents, reports and your personal journal. Netlik Family adds receipt scanning, court-document reading, the Document Bridge, and covers both parents with a single subscription. DOCUMENT BRIDGE Send a single-use, time-limited link so a school, doctor or lawyer can upload one document without installing the app. ACCOUNT DELETION Delete your account in the app or at netlikapp.com/hesap-silme. Deletion anonymises your profile, removes your private journal and closes your access permanently. Records that belong to both parents - approvals, disputes, expense settlements - remain, attributed to an anonymised participant and carrying no personal identifiers; otherwise the other parent would lose their own record. This is explained before you confirm and in the Privacy Policy. PRIVACY Netlik never requests your location. Documents and photos are uploaded only when you choose them. LEGAL Netlik does not provide legal advice and does not produce legally binding documents. Terms of Use, Privacy Policy and the KVKK notice are readable in the app. CHILDREN No account is created for a child; information is entered by a parent. -TR- Netlik, ayrı yaşayan veya boşanmış ebeveynleri çocukları konusunda aynı sayfada tutar: ortak takvim, buluşma kayıtları, masraflar, belgeler, kararlar ve mesajlar tek bir zaman damgalı kayıtta. FARKI NE Hiçbir kayıt sonradan değiştirilemez veya silinemez. Her kayıt zaman damgalıdır ve diğer ebeveyne görünür; böylece koordinasyon hafızaya ya da iyi niyete bağlı kalmaz. İKİ EBEVEYN İÇİN Netlik iki ebeveynin de katıldığını varsayar. Karşı tarafın yanıtını gerektiren adımlar - onaylar, gün takası, görüşme talebi - ancak o yanıt verince tamamlanır. ÜCRETSİZ Ortak takvim, buluşma kayıtları, mesajlaşma ve mesajı göndermeden önce gözden geçiren sakin dil asistanı. ABONELİKLER Netlik Plus masraf paylaşımı, karar talepleri, uyuşmazlık çözümü, belgeler, raporlar ve kişisel defteri açar. Netlik Aile bunlara fiş okuma, mahkeme kararı okuma ve Evrak Köprüsü'nü ekler; tek abonelikle iki ebeveyni kapsar. EVRAK KÖPRÜSÜ Okul, doktor veya avukatın uygulamayı kurmadan tek belge yükleyebilmesi için tek kullanımlık, süreli bağlantı gönder. HESAP SİLME Hesabını uygulama içinden veya netlikapp.com/hesap-silme adresinden silebilirsin. Silme profilini kimliksizleştirir, kişisel defterini kaldırır ve erişimini kalıcı olarak kapatır. İki ebeveyne birden ait kayıtlar - onaylar, uyuşmazlıklar, masraf mutabakatları - kimliksizleştirilmiş katılımcıya atfedilerek kalır ve kişisel tanımlayıcı taşımaz; aksi halde diğer ebeveyn kendi kaydını da kaybederdi. Bu, onaydan önce ve Gizlilik Politikası'nda açıklanır. GİZLİLİK Netlik konumunu hiçbir zaman istemez. Belge ve fotoğraflar yalnız sen seçtiğinde yüklenir. HUKUKİ Netlik hukuki danışmanlık sunmaz, bağlayıcı belge üretmez. Kullanım Şartları, Gizlilik Politikası ve KVKK aydınlatma metni uygulama içinde okunabilir. ÇOCUKLAR Çocuk adına hesap açılmaz; bilgiler ebeveyn tarafından girilir. -LINKS- Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ App Terms of Service / Uygulama Kullanım Şartları: https://netlikapp.com/en/terms Privacy Policy / Gizlilik Politikası: https://netlikapp.com/en/privacy
