Noteshelf 3

Noteshelf 3 gives students, teachers, professionals, artists, and bullet journal fans a single place to create, manage, and refine digital notes. You can download it for free and start building an organized system that supports study, meetings, planning, and creative projects without relying on paper.

Personalize How Your Notebooks Look and Feel

Noteshelf 3 lets you shape the entire writing experience. You can write with realistic pens and highlighters, including a fountain pen that adds a polished, handwritten style. You choose lined, dotted, or grid paper, adjust colors and spacing, and design notebooks with classic covers or your own images and artwork. The app also gives you a fully customizable toolbar, so you can add, remove, or rearrange tools to match your workflow instead of adapting to a fixed layout.

Use Templates, Planners, and Journals to Stay Consistent

Noteshelf 3 includes a library of 200+ templates created by the Noteshelf team. You can use study planners, class-note layouts, wellness trackers, bullet journal pages, and other formats to keep your notes consistent. You can also plan your days with configurable digital diaries and journals that help you track tasks and routines.

Write, Type, Draw, and Record in the Same Space

You can capture information in the format that works best for the moment. Noteshelf 3 supports handwriting, typed text with formatting, drawing, and audio recording while you take notes—ideal for lectures, interviews, and meetings. The app also turns rough strokes into clean shapes, so you can build diagrams, flowcharts, and structured visuals quickly.

Turn Handwriting into Searchable Text

Noteshelf 3 converts handwriting into typed text and helps you search handwritten notes using handwriting recognition in 65 languages. This feature makes long notebooks easier to revisit because you can locate key terms without scrolling through pages manually.

Enhance Pages with Stickers and High-Quality Images

You can personalize pages with stickers and pull visuals from built-in integrations like Unsplash and Pixabay. Noteshelf 3 also provides advanced image editing tools such as background removal and freeform cropping, so you can clean up visuals and fit them neatly into your notes.

Organize Everything with a Paperless Filing System

Noteshelf 3 helps you keep large collections under control. You can group notebooks into categories, groups, and subgroups, then sort them in the order you prefer. You can also bookmark important pages, name and color-code them, and create a custom table of contents for fast navigation. When you need to reference two items at once, you can open multiple windows and work on two notebooks side by side.

Annotate PDFs and Scan Documents Like a Pro

Noteshelf 3 supports professional-level annotation. You can import PDFs and images, then highlight, underline, and mark them up with precision. The built-in document scanner lets you digitize paper documents quickly, and you can export or share your work as PDFs or images when you finish.

Use Noteshelf AI to Save Time

Noteshelf 3 includes AI tools that reduce repetitive work. You can generate handwritten-style notes on a topic, summarize entire pages, translate text into other languages, and ask the app to explain difficult terms. These features help you study faster and clarify complex content without leaving your notebook.

Protect and Sync Your Notes Across Devices

Noteshelf 3 secures your content with password protection and biometric options such as Face ID or Touch ID (where supported). You can sync across Android devices using Google Drive, and you can enable automatic backups to services like Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, and WebDAV. If you use Evernote, the app can also auto-publish notes there so you can access them anywhere.
