Notanic is built for people who think and work visually. It’s designed to handle notes, sketches, code, graphs and much more all in one place.
Work on a free-form canvas, while keeping everything organized in an infinite tree. Notes can be nested, rearranged, and structured as deep as you need.
Work on the same canvas with others and see changes as they happen; useful for brainstorming, teaching, or pair problem-solving.
Write notes in Markdown and embed tools like Desmos, CodePen, or YouTube directly inside your workspace.
Draw quick diagrams, technical sketches with angles and measurements, or just handwrite when typing feels limiting.
See how Notanic stacks up against other popular note-taking applications.
