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.
A whole-document mode built around sticky notes — arrange, rearrange, and let messy thinking grow into something you can read back.
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
