The app allows you to scribble away for as long as you need to without needing to click any buttons to add more pages as it’s all automatic. This means you’re not restricted within the bounds of a particular page size. Like OneNote Write has an infinitely scrolling canvas. Thought not directly comparable, Write reminds me of Microsoft OneNote an app Microsoft often uses to demo stylus support on Windows devices. It has a feature set designed specifically for that task, and specifically for touchscreen and stylus use (though there’s no reason why it wouldn’t also work with a smudgy finger).Įssentially it’s a drawing app that caters to the written word, freehand notes, diagrams, and that sort of thing. No, Write is pitched as “a word processor for handwriting”. You can’t scrawl your thoughts down and have them instanta-magically converted into regular digital text to copy/paste elsewhere. Now, it’s important that I stress upfront that Write is not a handwriting recognition app. While this app is infrequently updated don’t let that put you off: it works perfectly on Ubuntu (and presumably other modern Linux distros too – let me know in the comments). It’s available for Windows, Linux, macOS and Android, with handy download packages prebuilt for all systems. Write is free (but not open-source) software. Prior to today I hadn’t even heard of it - so there’s a good chance you haven’t either! Stylus Labs’ Write isn’t a new app but it’s not merited much in the way of mentions online.

And it is indeed a solid choice.īut I recently discovered a free Xournal alternative for Linux (as well as Windows, Mac and Android and iOS) and it’s specifically tailored for taking handwritten text.
Xournal is considered the go-to app by touchscreen Linux users wanting to make handwritten notes on virtual paper using a stylus or a finder.
Linux isn’t short of traditional note taking apps, but tools for handwritten notes? Well, those are a little trickier to come by.
