Notes

Write notes with headings, checklists, tables and images, sorted by subject and easy to search. For lesson notes and revision summaries; they are saved on this device as you type.

Pictures are saved inside the note and count towards its size.

How to take notes

  1. Write on the page and format with the toolbar: headings, bold, lists, checklists, quotes, code and images. Or type / on an empty line for quick formatting.
  2. Everything is formatted as you type: what you see is your note.
  3. Use New note to start another note and the dropdown to switch between them. Each autosaves as you type.
  4. Download your note as Word, PDF or text from the Download menu when you need it outside the browser.
