Handwritten notes for studying, active recall, and exam prep

Turn the notes you already take into study material you can actually use.

Write by hand or type, organize class and lecture notes, annotate PDFs, build study guides, hide key information, and test yourself before quizzes, midterms, finals, entrance exams, and professional certification exams.

Use your own notes for active recall, review, and exam preparation instead of simply storing information.


□ 4 ways to study with your own notes

1. Memorize key information with colors

Write important words, definitions, formulas, dates, or vocabulary in orange, blue, or other colors using handwriting or keyboard text.

Place the Memorization Sheet over your notes to hide the answers. Try to recall the information first, then reveal it to check yourself.

Long-press the icon to change the sheet color.


2. Hide highlighted sections for active recall

Highlight important sentences, diagrams, anatomy charts, or sections of PDF textbooks and lecture materials.

In Memorization Mode, choose which highlighter colors are hidden. For example, use yellow for regular emphasis and red for material you want to memorize.


3. Keep questions and answers on separate layers

Write questions, answers, and explanations on different layers.

Hide the answer layer, test yourself, rewrite your response, and practice the same digital worksheet again.


4. Cover answers with digital tape

Use the Tape tool in Memorization Mode to cover definitions, formulas, vocabulary, answers, or sections of PDFs without changing your original note colors.

Tap a tape strip to reveal just that answer, or use the Memorization Sheet to cover several areas at once.


□ Review faster with the floating Memorization Sheet

Instead of revealing highlighted areas one by one, drag the floating Memorization Sheet over your notes.

Only the area beneath the sheet is hidden, making it useful for tables, lecture PDFs, study guides, vocabulary lists, diagrams, and exam materials.
