AbelNotes
by AbelNotes
Handwritten notes with LaTeX, PDF annotation and self-hosted sync
About
AbelNotes is a handwriting-first note-taking app for pen and touch. Write, draw and annotate, then keep everything on a server you control. - Natural pen input with pressure and tilt; palm rejection for stylus users. - Import and annotate PDFs, with text selection and search. - LaTeX math elements (paste $$…$$ or \[…\]) and geometric shape recognition. - Sync notebooks to your own Nextcloud or any generic WebDAV server — no cloud lock-in. - Import from OneNote, Obsidian and Notion exports. Free and open source (AGPL-3.0). No accounts, no ads, no tracking — your notes stay on your hardware.
