Vector ink

Erase one stroke from a page you wrote last term. Nothing is ever flattened.

Real PDF markup

Annotations export into the file, on the right page, at the right size.

Offline first

Every feature keeps working with the network off.

[ 002 ]One workspace

Everything a page has to do

Four jobs that usually mean four separate apps, sharing one document, one search index and one library.

Handwriting

[ 003 ]The ink engine

Not a picture of your handwriting

That stroke is being drawn right now by the same engine the editor uses. Every point carries its own pressure, the outline is solved from those points, and the result stays a vector object you can erase, move, recolour or scale months later.

The parts you only notice when they are missing

One search across everything

Typed notes, handwritten pages and the text inside imported PDFs all land in the same index, so one box finds all three.

WaveNote global search returning matches from notes and PDFs.

Offline by default

Everything is stored on the device first. Lose signal mid-lecture and nothing stops.

Organisation that scales

Nested folders, favourites, pinning and tags, with drag and drop that behaves the way you expect.

Share a read-only link

Send a page or a whole notebook without making anyone create an account to open it.

Version history

Roll a page back to how it looked before you reorganised it at midnight.

Built for the keyboard

Every tool has a shortcut, and the command palette reaches anything you have not learned yet.

[ 005 ]Get WaveNote

Install it on everything you write on

WaveNote installs straight from your browser, so there is no store queue and no separate build to keep updated. Pick a device and it will either install on the spot or show you the two taps it takes.

Any browser

Nothing to install. The full app, including handwriting and PDF markup.

Open WaveNote

The same app on every screen

There is no cut-down mobile version. The phone build has the same editor, the same PDF engine and the same library as the desktop one, laid out for a smaller screen and a thumb. Start a note on a laptop, finish it on a tablet, check it on a phone on the way home.

[ 006 ]Answers

Common questions

The ones worth answering before you install anything.

WaveNote installs directly from the browser as a progressive web app. You get the same result - a real icon, its own window, offline access - without waiting on store review or handing 30 percent of every subscription to a platform. Pick your device above and it walks you through the two taps.

Start your first page

Free to start, nothing to install if you do not want to, and your notes are yours from the first stroke.
