NoteSam: Handwritten Notes

NoteSam — Handwritten Notes for Android Tablets

Built by a mathematician who needed a handwriting notebook that actually kept up with the stylus. Couldn't find one. Wrote it.

Private by design. Your notes live on your device. Sync goes only where you point it — Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV, S3, SFTP. Your note content is never shared or used for ads. The free version offers optional rewarded ads to unlock premium items; Pro has no ads.

WRITING

• Native Canvas + SurfaceView engine tuned for low-latency stylus input

• Vector strokes — infinite zoom, no pixelation

• Pressure + tilt sensitivity (on supported styluses like S Pen, USI, Wacom)

• Palm rejection that just works

READING & ANNOTATION

• PDF import — annotate textbooks, contracts, lecture notes

• EPUB reader with text-anchored highlights that survive font-size changes

• Voice memos attached to the page

ORGANIZATION

• Unlimited folders and notebooks

• Template marketplace — grid, dot, music, planner, more

• OCR search across handwritten notes

PRIVACY

End-to-end encryption (AES-256-GCM + Argon2id). Your cloud provider sees ciphertext only. Analytics records a few in-app events such as sign-up and purchase, and our ad partners measure ad performance — never the content of your notes. Your handwriting, your PDFs, your voice memos — those never leave your device unless you sync them yourself.

OFFLINE-FIRST

Everything works without a network connection. Sync is additive.

Free tier: unlimited notebooks, PDF + EPUB import, all core drawing tools. Pro unlocks the template marketplace and multi-provider sync.
