Available on iOS · Android · coming to Web
Pressure-sensitive tools that feel natural, from a classic ballpoint pen to a realistically textured pencil and a broad highlighter.
Choose from blank, graph, and lined paper styles in a range of background colors to get started, then customize from there.
Drop a sticky note anywhere on the page for reminders, annotations, or ideas you want to come back to later.
Sync your notebooks across devices with Studio+.
Import PDFs to annotate by hand, or export notebooks as clean, shareable PDFs.
Built around readable layouts, flexible workflows, and tools that don't assume a single way of working.
I created this app because, as a legally blind amputee, paper stopped being practical for me. But I didn't want to lose the experience of writing by hand.
I've always loved the feeling of a really good notebook — something comfortable enough to think inside. Handwritten Studio is my attempt to bring that feeling into a digital workspace.
Handwriting puts me in a different mental mode than typing. It slows me down in the right ways, helps me hold onto ideas longer, and makes thinking feel more physical.
I built Handwritten Studio for people who want to keep that way of thinking, even when paper isn't the right tool anymore.
Much love,
Zack
