More about My Pen Notes

Writing that feels right. Felt-tip, ballpoint, fountain pen, pencil and brush pen. On supported Apple Pencil hardware, ink responds to pressure and tilt.

PDFs become notebooks. Existing internal and external links keep working. Add your own links to pages or objects and navigate with page previews and chapters.

Fewer steps. Lasso, a clipping tray for several copied selections, layers, object locks, ruler and colour picker.

Notes with a voice. Record audio memos, trim them or continue later, and jump from a note to the moment you want to hear again.

Save and share. Changes save automatically – locally or with optional iCloud sync. Export PDFs, print pages or share a complete notebook that stays editable in InkPages.

Apple Pencil features and on-device handwriting recognition depend on hardware, operating system and language.
