Type your notes. Sketch the parts words can't.
Draw in a note with Apple Pencil, Surface Pen or Samsung S Pen. Pressure changes the stroke width and your palm doesn't leave marks. Noteshik is a typed-notes app first: handwriting search and handwriting-to-text aren't available yet.
Free for 60 notes, no credit card. New subscribers get the first year of Pro for $18.99, then $24.99 a year.
Pressure you can see
Press harder, get a thicker line. Noteshik uses coalesced pointer events where the browser supports them, so fast strokes stay smooth.
Rest your hand on the screen
While a pen stroke is in progress, touch input is ignored, so your palm doesn't draw phantom marks.
Honest about what's missing
If you mainly write by hand and need handwriting search or conversion, a dedicated handwriting app is the better fit today. Noteshik is for typed notes with sketches when you need them.

Common questions
Which stylus does it support?+
Any pen your browser reports as a pen — Apple Pencil in Safari, Surface Pen, Samsung S Pen. Pressure is used; tilt isn't.
Where is the handwriting stored?+
Drawings are saved with the note and stored on our servers encrypted at rest (AES-256), sent over TLS.
Can I mix handwriting and typed text in the same note?+
Yes. Add a drawing to any note alongside your typed text.
