Bring your whole course in from Moodle.

Sign in once with your university account and choose your courses. PolyNotes brings in each one's slides and readings as a module, and keeps them in step when your lecturer adds more. Canvas works the same way.

Choosing Northgate University, signing in on its Moodle page, allowing PolyNotes, picking CHE210 and opening its synced lecture.

Choose your courses

Their slides and readings arrive as modules, ready to write on.

The Free plan syncs one course; Essential and Pro sync them all.

Think it through, in your own handwriting.

Write the idea. Change a value. See what happens, without leaving your notes.

Engineering notes entered through the real PolyNotes pen tool.

Everything for one lecture, on one screen.

Write by hand, keep your slides and readings beside your notes, and ask a tutor that actually knows your course.

A pen that feels like paper.

A smooth, pressure-aware pen on an infinite whiteboard. Sketch diagrams, take lecture notes, and annotate PDFs and slides in the same notebook, with your Apple Pencil.

Handwritten notes written beside a Bernoulli lecture slide in the real PolyNotes slide view.

One screen for materials and notes.

Pull your courses and modules in from Moodle or Canvas, then keep your slides, a PDF reading, and your handwritten notes open together. No tab-juggling, no five apps: just the lecture in front of you.

See Subject Space →

Tutorial and lecture slides open side by side in the real PolyNotes Subject Space.

Answers grounded in your own material.

Ask a question and the tutor pulls from the notes and slides you actually have, and cites the source so you can jump straight to it. When your material can't answer, it tells you, instead of making something up.

Snap the board. It lands in your lecture.

Photograph the whiteboard on your phone. PolyNotes files it under the class you're in, and on your iPad you add it between two slides or right onto one.

Real notes, real courses, in PolyNotes.

Handwriting that feels like paper, and your course materials beside a grounded AI tutor, in the real PolyNotes app.

From a messy lecture to real understanding.

The AI tutor works from your own course material, so study help stays on-topic and always shows its sources.

Turn a question into a clear answer

Ask anything about your course and get an answer drawn from your notes and slides, with a citation back to the exact page.

Turn a lecture into flashcards

Make a study set from a lecture or a page of notes in a tap, then review them without leaving the app.

Find anything, even in handwriting

Search across your material to resurface the right note or slide in seconds. (Handwriting search is on the roadmap.)

The PolyNotes AI menu: ask about your notes, solve maths, explain a photo, summarise a PDF, explain a topic, quiz me. A flashcard from a Bernoulli lecture in the real PolyNotes study set. Handwritten y = 2 sin(x) + 1 circled with the lasso, with its action bar above.

Everything a lecture needs.

The full note-taking experience ships on every plan. Paid plans raise your AI allowance and add course sync.
