Be more productive with Nebo
Create a Document to work seamlessly with both pen and keyboard. The first and only app that lets you mix both inputs thanks to interactive ink.
Pen
Words are recognized while you write. Double tap to convert or use pen gestures to edit.
Editable
Use intuitive ink gestures to edit your content.
Erase a word with a scratch-out, break or join text by drawing a line, format it by underlining or circling it.
Responsive
Enjoy optimal readability, no matter the device.
Your handwriting is reflowed as typeset text would, whether you happen to change your device orientation or switch devices.
Multimodal
Mix handwriting with typed text, treating them equally.
Use either handwriting or keyboard: No matter the input method, there is no difference on how your content is handled.
Add rich content
Add interactive diagrams, editable equations, freeform sketches and annotate pictures.
Diagram
Draw and manipulate diagrams. Connectors are persistent and stay connected when elements are moved. Edit with gestures and convert the result.
Express yourself freely
Create a Note or add a Note section to a Document. Convert handwriting to typed text and drawn shapes to perfect forms. Copy-paste text and edit with the pen or keyboard.
Explore ideas freely in a page that resizes to fit your content.
Select content with the lasso to move it, resize it or copy it for reuse in other pages and apps.
Import and annotate PDFs
Import a PDF then annotate freely with your pen. Copy, move, resize, delete and change the color of your markup, then export to PDF with all annotations in place.
