Notes beyond
handwriting.
Notes that go beyond handwriting. Type, draw, collaborate, and sync across every device with Craft.
Which one is right for you?
Notability users love the handwriting experience on iPad, but many outgrow its limitations — no real cross-platform support, no collaboration, and no typed document capabilities. Craft gives you Apple Pencil drawing plus everything else: typed docs, AI, collaboration, and true multi-device sync.
Choose if you:
- Type AND draw — Notability is handwriting-only with minimal typed text
- Full apps on Mac, iPad, iPhone, Windows, and Web — not just iPad
- Real-time collaboration — Notability has no team features
- AI assistant included for writing, summarizing, and organizing
- Web publishing, tables, and rich media — not just digital paper
Choose Notability if you:
- Audio recording synced to handwriting is essential
- iPad handwriting with paper simulation is your primary use case
- You mainly annotate PDFs and lecture slides
- You don't need typed documents or cross-platform access

사용자들이 Craft로 옮겨오는 이유
「 Your app absolutely blew me away. I've tried everything — hundreds of hours switching between apps. Every single one let me down in some way — too slow, too clunky, too ugly. And then I found Craft. From the very first moment, I felt it: the speed, the elegance, the flow. This is the best app I've used in years. 」
