S-Pen Notes

Catch an idea the moment you have it. Double-tap your S Pen and a see-through page opens over whatever is on your screen. Sketch, write or mark it up, save, and you are right back where you were.

QUICK NOTES OVER ANY SCREEN

• Opens straight onto a clear page over the app you are using

• Starts from the S Pen double-tap or the lock-screen note shortcut once S-Pen Notes is your default notes app, or from its own Quick icon

• Save and close in one tap

DRAWING THAT FEELS LIKE PAPER

• 12 brushes, each with its own feel: pen, fineliner, gel, streamline, tattoo inker, pencil, crayon, charcoal, marker, fountain, brush and neon

• Pressure-sensitive strokes and adjustable stabilisation for steady lines

• Draw a rough line, box, circle or triangle and hold the pen still: it snaps into a clean shape

• Scribble over something to erase it, flip the pen, or hold its side button

• Text, lines, arrows, shapes and pictures, cropped to a square, circle or oval

• Move and resize anything, with full undo and redo

• The pen draws and your finger scrolls, and you can lock the zoom

TYPED NOTES TOO

• Normal notes for typing, with bullets, numbered lists and checklists

• Add pictures and shapes and arrange them freely

FIND THINGS FAST

• A tidy grid of square previews, centred on what you drew

• Colour labels: tag a note "Info" or "Work" and filter in one tap

• Search titles, text and labels

MAKE IT YOURS

• Page colours with plain, grid, dotted or lined paper

• A wallpaper photo behind your notes

• Light and dark themes that follow your phone

• English, Arabic and Kurdish (Badini), fully right-to-left where needed

BACKUP ON YOUR TERMS

• Optional backup to your own Google Drive, by hand or automatically

• Restoring merges notes and never wipes your phone

• The app can only see the files it creates in your Drive

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

• No account, no ads, no tracking

• Your notes stay on your phone unless you back them up or share them

Made for Samsung Galaxy S Ultra phones with the S Pen. It also runs on other Android phones, where you start notes from the New note button or the Quick icon.
