Notebook – Notes, Tasks, AI

No release notes.

Zoho Notebook is an AI note-taking app that helps students and professionals remember what was said in meetings and lectures — by recording and transcribing them, turning them into summaries and action items, and keeping every note searchable in one place. WHO IT'S FOR • Students taking lecture notes and revising from them. • Professionals who need a record of a meeting without typing through it. • Freelancers and teams tracking tasks, clients and ideas in one notepad. • Anyone keeping a private journal, a daily planner or a grocery checklist. It suits people who take notes in more than one form — typed, handwritten, spoken, photographed or scanned — and want them searchable together. WHAT PEOPLE USE NOTEBOOK FOR 1. Meeting notes. Record the meeting and Notebook AI transcribes it live, then writes the summary and action items — so you can take part instead of typing through it. 2. Lecture and study notes. Record a lecture while you type, and scan textbooks, documents and handwritten pages into searchable PDFs — so you can find one phrase months later. 3. To-do lists and planning. Build checklists and task lists with reminders — so tasks buried in your notes don't get lost between apps. 4. A private diary or journal. Lock any note or notebook with a password, fingerprint or face lock — so entries stay private on a shared device. 5. Research and documents. Save articles with the Web Clipper, drop in files and photos, and search the text inside images and scans — so one topic sits in one notebook. QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK What kind of notes app is Notebook? A free notes app and digital notepad combining an AI note taker, a task organiser, a document scanner and a private journal. Notes use seven card types: text, checklist, audio, photo, smart, sketch, file. Can Notebook take notes in my meetings for me? Yes. Record or upload audio or video and Notebook AI transcribes it in real time, then writes a summary with action items. It also turns rough ideas into outlines, to-do lists or mind maps, suggests grammar and tone fixes, translates notes, and tidies hand-drawn shapes. Is Notebook good for students? Yes. Record a lecture while typing, handwrite with the S Pen or a stylus, scan textbooks into searchable PDFs, and search a phrase across every note you have. Can I switch from Evernote, Google Keep or OneNote? Yes. Dedicated migration tools import your notes, so nothing is left behind. Does Notebook work offline? Yes. Create, edit and read notes offline; they sync when you reconnect, across Android, iOS, Mac, Windows and the web. Is Notebook free? Yes.
