STAGENOTE
From writing to what comes next.
Write naturally and organise your ideas.
Erase the way you need
Erase whole strokes, parts of strokes or only highlighter marks.
Shape recognition
The ink engine recognises lines, rectangles, circles, arrows and triangles.
A natural place for every thought.
Capture an early idea, a meeting note or a diagram while you listen. StageNote is a native handwriting notebook for pens and highlighters. Writing, saving and restoring have been verified on Windows.
Pressure-aware pens
On Windows, pen pressure and tilt information help shape strokes. Choose between tools such as fountain and ballpoint pens; experience varies with the input device.
Highlight without hiding
Mark a line or diagram with a highlighter. Blending that lets the ink beneath show through has been verified in the Windows app.
Pen and palm input
On Windows, pen input is distinguished from palm contact, with support for compatible pen erasers and barrel buttons.
Current implementation and planned features are identified separately. Check release announcements for availability.
Revise a stroke or shape an idea.
Notes do not need to be perfect on the first pass. Remove a stroke or a highlight, and use shapes to show relationships as your ideas develop.
Three eraser modes
Erase an entire stroke, remove only part of it, or clear highlighter marks while keeping the writing beneath.
Lines, shapes and arrows
The ink engine recognises lines, rectangles, circles, triangles and arrows to help express relationships visually.
Undo and switch tools
The document model supports undo by operation. Tool shortcuts and zoom have been verified in the Windows app.
Current implementation and planned features are identified separately. Check release announcements for availability.
Keep the next page close.
Write on a page, add another when you need room, and zoom between detail and the larger picture. Autosaving and restoring after reopening have been verified on Windows.
Add pages as you go
The Windows app supports adding pages and zooming the canvas, so a longer thought can continue across pages.
Autosave and restore
Saving writing and restoring it after restarting the app have been verified. The verified storage is local.
Document structure and indexing
The document model includes pages, layers, elements and Korean text indexing. This does not mean handwriting recognition search is complete.
Current implementation and planned features are identified separately. Check release announcements for availability.
