After a long time and a lot of trial and error, I’ve finally finished creating my own handwriting app for Windows. I started it with the idea of making it for myself; I like to take notes by hand but in a digital format, and while there were some good apps available, I felt they were always missing something, so I made my own and included all the features I wanted: PDFs, images, a thumbnail sheet browser, measured shapes, keyboard text, and other conveniences. I still plan to add more features, such as text recognition and dynamic sticky notes.

I’ll keep developing it, but I think it already works well and has enough features to be released.

I created and tested it on my laptop and an external XPen graphics tablet, though it should work with a tablet, touchscreen, and stylus.

I’m open to suggestions and feedback on any issues.

Hi guys,

Is there a case that is compatible with the new Pro Keyboard for the Tab S11 Ultra? I would like to use the tablet as a 'classic' tablet from time to time—laying it flat on the table to write with the S Pen without scratching the back?

​I’ve been using Samsung Notes for a while now, and honestly, it’s one of the best apps available on Android. The latency, the integration, and the overall feel are top-tier. However, there are a few "missing links" that keep it from being the absolute best productivity tool on any platform.

​If we got these 4 features, I wouldn't even look at another app again:

​1. Tabbed Interface (Open Notes in Tabs)

​While we can open notes in pop-up views or split-screen, having a tabbed bar at the top (similar to a web browser or GoodNotes) would be a game-changer. Switching between 3 or 4 different documents quickly without cluttering the screen with multiple windows is essential for deep work.

​2. Bidirectional Linking (Backlinks)

​We need the ability to create a "web" of knowledge.

​Internal: Linking to a specific page or section within the same note.

​External: Linking to a different note entirely.

Having a "Backlink" section to see which notes reference the current one would turn Samsung Notes into a powerful personal knowledge base (like Obsidian or Roam, but with handwriting).

​3. Custom Outlines in Page Navigation

​The current page navigation is okay, but we should be able to create our own outlines/bookmarks. Let us name specific pages or sections and view them in a dedicated "Table of Contents" sidebar. Navigating a 100-page PDF or a massive lecture notebook is currently much harder than it needs to be.

​4. Standardized Paper Sizes (A3, A5, etc.)

​Currently, the "infinite" or "standard" page can be a bit unpredictable. Adding presets for standard printable formats like A3, A4, and A5 is crucial for anyone who needs to print their notes or export them as professional documents. It ensures that our handwriting and layout don't get messed up when moving from screen to paper.

​What do you guys think? Are these the main things holding the app back, or is there something else you’d prioritize? I really hope the devs are looking at community feedback like this!
