Write like on paper
Pens, pencils and highlighters that respond to pressure, with lined, grid, dotted and Cornell paper. Draw a rough circle or arrow and it snaps into shape.
For Windows pen laptops and tablets
Notes that feel like paper, with a study buddy built in.
Write, sketch and highlight with your pen. Mark up lecture slides. Then let InkPad turn your notes into summaries, quizzes and flashcards, and remember what you learned.
Free to use. No account needed to start writing.
Everything a notebook does, and a lot it can't
Built for pens first, so writing feels natural and nothing gets in your way.
Mark up PDFs and slides
Import lecture slides, readings and worksheets, then write right on them. Export back to PDF whenever you need to hand something in.
Handwriting to text and math
Turn your handwriting into typed text, and handwritten equations into clean math. Search finds words you wrote by hand, too.
Planners and calendar
Make a year planner with monthly, weekly and daily pages that link to each other. Bring in your class calendar and see what's due.
Flashcards that stick
Study sets with Smart Learn, which shows each card again right before you'd forget it. Make cards yourself, import them, or let AI make them from your notes.
Your notes, on your devices
Notebooks are saved as files on your computer. Keep them in OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud Drive, and they sync between your computers.
Record the lecture
Record audio while you write. Later, select something you wrote to hear what was being said at that moment.
Share with a link
Send classmates a link to a notebook. They can open a copy in InkPad or download it, and you can turn the link off at any time.
AI study assistant
Ask your notes anything
The assistant reads the page, notebook or whole library you point it at, and answers from your own notes, with the sources it used. Anything that isn't in your notes is clearly marked.
- Summaries of a lecture, a chapter or a whole notebook
- Quizzes that check your answers and explain why
- Flashcards made from your notes in one click
- Explain simply, key terms, and help checking your math
AI needs a free account, which includes 5 AI actions a day.
Study
Remember it for the exam
Smart Learn spaces out your reviews, so you spend your time on the cards you're about to forget, not the ones you already know. Every study set keeps track of what you've mastered.
Organize
A shelf you'll like looking at
Give each notebook its own cover, sort them into folders, and star the ones you use every day. Notebooks, typed documents, whiteboards and study sets all live side by side.
Plan
Plan the week in pen
Planners come with a page for every month, week and day, linked together with tabs, so you're always one tap from today. Write in your schedule, priorities and to-dos by hand.

Privacy
Your notes stay yours
- Stored on your computer. Notebooks are files on your own computer (and in your cloud folder, if you choose one), not on our servers.
- Only sent when you ask. Your notes leave your computer only when you use an AI feature or make a share link.
- No ads, no trackers. We don't sell your data or use it for advertising. This website doesn't track you either.
Questions
What do I need to run InkPad?
A Windows 10 or 11 computer. It works with a mouse or trackpad, but it's made for pens: a Surface, a 2-in-1 laptop, or a drawing tablet.
Do I need an account?
No. You can use InkPad as a guest with up to 3 notebooks. A free account unlocks unlimited notebooks, share links and 5 AI actions a day.
What counts as an AI action?
Each answer from the assistant counts once: a question, a summary, a quiz, a set of flashcards, or converting handwritten math. Your count resets every day at midnight (Pacific time).
How do I cancel Premium?
In InkPad, open Settings, then AI, and turn off Auto-renew. It takes one click, and Premium stays on until the end of the time you've paid for. We also email you a reminder before each renewal.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Ask within 14 days of a payment and we'll refund it. See the terms for the details.
Is there a Mac, iPad or Android version?
Not yet. InkPad is for Windows today. If you'd like it on another device, tell us: it helps us decide what comes next.
