Getting started with Nebo

Nebo is a powerful note-taking app designed to let you write, type and organize your thoughts. Create organized notes, brainstorm on a limitless canvas, or annotate PDFs, all in one easy-to-use tool. Built around a pen-first experience, Nebo makes digital handwriting feel as natural as writing on paper. It supports active pens for precise input and offers advanced handwriting recognition, letting you seamlessly edit, format, and convert your notes. With features like pen gestures, lasso selection, and instant text conversion, your notes stay editable, interactive, and searchable.
