Stylus Labs Write
What Stylus Labs Write is
Stylus Labs Write is a handwriting word processor for notes, brainstorming, and sketches. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, with note sharing, real-time collaboration, and iCloud integration. Handwriting controls let you select, erase, move, and reflow writing, while bookmarks and handwritten links help organize pages. You can insert images, customize and save pens, and change page size, color, and ruling. Editing includes unlimited undo and redo, split view, and clippings for moving material between documents. Write stores files in non-proprietary SVG, which vector-graphics apps and web browsers can open. The iOS app supports PDF export. The free plan covers handwritten notes and drawing, but free iOS pages carry a watermark. The Write full version (iOS) costs $8.99, paid once as a one-time in-app purchase to remove it. The public repository uses AGPL-3.0.
