Note-taking app for handwriting, typing, and PDF annotation with AI search and summaries.
Goodnotes is a note-taking application built around a stylus-first handwriting experience, alongside typing, sketching, and voice recording. It handles PDF annotation, document management, and cross-device sync, and has added AI features for searching handwritten notes and summarizing meetings or documents. It is used across education as well as professional fields such as architecture, law, and healthcare. The core app is free, with paid Essential and Pro tiers billed annually and an optional AI add-on charged monthly on top; a separate free tier exists for education accounts.
Free tier exists; Essential is $11.99/year and Pro is $35.99/year, both billed annually with a 7-day trial; an AI Pass add-on is an extra $9.99/month on either paid tier.
Use tool ↗Goodnotes is a mature, widely used note-taking app with a real free tier and annual pricing that undercuts most subscription note apps, though the AI features are gated behind a separate monthly add-on rather than bundled into Pro. It is a safe default choice for stylus-based note-taking across Apple, Windows, and Android devices.
