Handwriting — on a blank canvas or over a photo. Sometimes a sketch is faster

Memol's idea is simple: write it down and forget it — AI finds it later. We just added one more way to write. Say hello to handwriting.

Your thinking isn't always a bullet list

Arrows, circles, a quick diagram in the margin. Sometimes a pen is faster than a keyboard. Handwriting lets you capture those "before-it-becomes-text" thoughts right inside Memol.

Write on a blank canvas

From the handwriting button in a note's toolbar, draw on a blank canvas.

• Colors, sizes, eraser, undo/redo
• Pen pressure on Apple Pencil and other styluses
• Palm rejection — a resting hand won't scribble

Meeting scribbles, a sketched-out idea, a bit of quick math — capture the moments that don't warrant opening a keyboard.

Circles and arrows, right on a photo

Load a photo as the background and draw directly on it.

• Salons, clinics, dental: mark up before/after shots or X-rays
• Real estate, construction: annotate site photos and floor plans
• Care, childcare: add notes to record photos
• Web, design: red-line feedback on screenshots

Perfect for the moments where circling something and drawing an arrow beats writing a paragraph.

Handwriting stays findable

Memol's handwriting isn't a dead end. Tap "To text" and AI transcribes it into the note. So your handwritten notes show up in search and the AI assistant can read them. No more "where did I scribble that?"

Just write — AI takes care of the rest. That holds for handwriting too.

How to use it

1. Open a note and tap the handwriting (pen) button in the toolbar
2. Draw on the blank canvas — or load an image via "Photo background" to draw on it
3. Save, and the sketch drops into your note
4. Optionally run To text to transcribe it

Already-inserted photos work too — select one and choose "Handwriting" to annotate it directly.

Handwriting feels best on iPad with Apple Pencil, but it works on phones and trackpads as well. Start on a blank canvas, get the thought down — Memol will find it later.
