- macOS
- iPhone and iPad

Cross-platform
One licence. Four platforms. The same pen in your hand.

macOS
A native app for the lecture theatre Mac or your own laptop, with the same tools and shortcuts.
iPhone and iPad
Write with a stylus on the tablet, check your notes on the phone. The layout adapts to both.
Android
Built for tablets with a stylus, including support for the S Pen side button.
Features
Everything you need at the front of the room
Each tool is here because it earns its place in a two-hour lecture.
Ink that feels like a real pen
Pressure-sensitive strokes with adjustable smoothing take the jitter out of stylus input while keeping the corners you meant to draw.
- Pressure response
- Smoothing
- Custom pens

Made for teaching live
A laser pointer, ink that fades on its own, a highlighter and a focus mode that clears everything but the page.

Tidy diagrams, drawn by hand
Lines, arrows that snap to 0°, 45° and 90°, rectangles, splines and text. Straighten a stroke when you want it neat.

Your documents stay yours
The library lives on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded to us, which keeps unpublished material and student work private.
One interface
It fits the screen in front of you
The page fills the screen and the tools float above it. On a phone they tuck into a bottom bar, on a tablet or desktop they dock wherever your hand is not.
- A floating tool dock you can move to either side or keep at the bottom
- The same pens, colours and shapes on a 6-inch phone and a 32-inch display
- Touch targets sized for a stylus, a finger or a mouse

Questions
Good to know before you start
Does one licence cover all my devices?
Yes. An individual licence works on Windows, macOS, iPhone, iPad and Android, and can be active on up to 3 devices at once. You can remove an old device from your account at any time to free a slot.
What is the difference between Annual and Lifetime?
Annual is billed once a year and includes every update while it is active. Lifetime is a single payment with no renewal, and it includes future updates too.
How do enterprise seats work?
You choose how many seats to buy, then assign each one to a colleague by email from your dashboard. If someone leaves, withdraw the seat and give it to someone else. Seats can be added at any point in the year.
Who qualifies for the free academic year?
Staff and students who sign up with a university email address. The licence is activated as soon as the address is confirmed, and no card is needed.
Where are my documents stored?
In a library on your own device. Your files and ink are not uploaded to our servers. AI summaries are optional and use your own key with the provider you choose.
How do I pay, and do I get an invoice?
Card payments are handled by Stripe and are currently available in the United Kingdom. A VAT invoice is added to your dashboard as a PDF after each payment.
