Handwriting note app with AI summaries and meeting notes
Updated
Goodnotes is a note-taking and document app built around handwriting on tablets, with typed text, whiteboards and PDF annotation. Its AI features add summaries, search across handwriting, math assistance and meeting notes.
You write or type in Goodnotes, import PDFs, and use AI tools on your notes to produce summaries, answers and meeting minutes. Smart search indexes handwriting, typed text and sketches, and audio recordings can be transcribed. AI usage is metered by plan, and an AI Pass add-on raises limits.
Goodnotes is used by students, educators and professionals who take handwritten notes and annotate documents. Teams and enterprises use admin controls for domain management and SAML single sign-on, and the vendor lists GDPR, CCPA, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II compliance.
The Free plan costs $0 with 3 notebooks. Essential is $11.99 per year, and Pro is $35.99 per year with sync, collaboration and advanced AI. Teams is $120 per seat per year, and Enterprise is custom. An optional AI Pass add-on costs $9.99 per month for more AI credits.
Alternatives include Notability, which is a strong iPad handwriting app, Microsoft OneNote, which offers a free cross-platform notebook, and Tana, which is an outliner-based knowledge tool with AI.
