What Notewise is
Notewise is a note-taking app that brings handwritten and typed notes together with audio, documents, and web research. On its canvas, users can write, sketch, and arrange ideas, with marks connected to their source notes. They can also annotate PDFs and slides by highlighting, commenting, or drawing directly on them. Notewise can answer questions across a user’s notes and identify the passage behind an answer. During a meeting or lecture, users can ask questions while the app records audio. Interactive Tabs can turn notes into study and work materials such as flashcards, quizzes, podcasts, summaries, and action items. Users can make notes from website links or add webpages as sources. The app runs on Android, iOS, and the web, with offline viewing and editing; AI features and cloud syncing pause until connectivity returns. Notewise offers a free plan and paid plans from $2.49/mo, with a 7-day trial. The maker says notes and AI exchanges are not used to train generative models.
