Zoho Notebook is a free, ad-free note-taking app for students, teams and researchers: capture, find and reuse what you write down — typed notes, Apple Pencil handwriting, voice recordings with AI transcription, checklists, files and document scans in one note.
Syncs across iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and other devices.
WHAT PEOPLE USE NOTEBOOK FOR
1. MEETING AND LECTURE NOTES
Record with audio or video cards; Notebook AI turns it into searchable text with timestamps, so you jump straight to the decision instead of replaying it. Structured minutes with title, participants, decisions and action points sit in the note beside your highlights. Record screen and self at once; longer videos get chapters.
2. STUDY AND RESEARCH
Record lectures and search the transcript weeks later. Scan textbooks and business cards, handwrite and sketch with Apple Pencil, use OCR to find text inside photos and handwritten notes, so nothing you captured becomes unfindable. A long note becomes an AI mind map before an exam.
3. DAILY TO-DOS AND JOURNALING
Dedicated checklist cards keep tasks beside your notes, and recurring reminders keep them on schedule. Journaling prompts come from your own activity, easier to keep than a blank page.
4. FILES, SCANS, AND SAVED READING
Add PDFs, Word docs and spreadsheets with file cards. Articles, videos, recipes and how-tos become Smart Cards, formatted automatically, readable offline and ad-free. Group it all into nested collections.
QUESTIONS PEOPLE ASK
Is it free?
Yes, with 2GB of free storage and no ads. Notebook Pro adds more storage, longer notes, larger attachments, Email-In to save emails as notes, premium covers, and custom recurring reminders.
Can I move my notes from Evernote, Google Keep, or OneNote?
Yes, with dedicated migration tools; it arrives organized.
Is my data private?
Notes are encrypted in transit and at rest. We never sell your data and never show ads. Lock notes or notebooks with a password, Touch ID or Face ID; previews stay hidden until unlocked.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Create, edit and read offline, then pick up on another device once it syncs to the cloud.
What can Notebook AI do?
Transcribe audio and video, build mind maps, summarize and simplify, fix grammar, set tone (casual, professional, friendly, direct, or confident), translate into any language, draft notes, checklists, tables, code or a template from a prompt, and suggest tags. Notebook AI is a separate add-on.
Does it use on-device AI and Siri?
Yes. An on-device Knowledge Graph links ideas across notebooks and answers questions from your own notes. Siri creates and updates notes by voice with the app closed, and On-Screen Awareness summarizes what's on screen without switching apps.
Can I share with non-users?
Yes. @mention people to collaborate in real time, or publish a public note or video by link.

My Experience with Zoho NotebookI tried to switch from Microsoft OneNote to Zoho Notebook, but I ran into several problems that made it unusable for me.1. The Migration was a Disaster· When I moved my notes from OneNote, the formatting was completely broken.· Text was overlapping, images were covering words, and all my sketches and handwritten notes were gone. It was a very disappointing experience.2. Missing "Infinite Canvas" Feature· I realized that Zoho Notebook doesn't have an "infinite canvas" like OneNote does.· This is an essential feature for iPad and Apple Pencil users, as it allows you to write and draw freely without running out of space.3. Limited Sketch & Mind Map Tools· Sketches: I can't embed notes directly onto a sketch. While I can add a sketch as an image in a note, I can't resize or edit it afterward.· Mind Maps: There are no built-in tools for creating mind maps or diagrams, a feature I appreciate in apps like Obsidian.In short, my ideal note-taking app would have:· An "Infinite Canvas" like OneNote, where I can sketch and write directly.· Embedding & Editing like Obsidian, where I can embed different elements (like sketches, notes, etc.) and still go back to edit them.· Easy Diagramming, with a simple built-in tool for creating mind maps and diagrams.Thank you for your time and effort.Namaskar / Vanakkam.
Awesome Application, A perfect book

Although it's an awesome application with notebook features, I have some questions and suggestions.1. Is it fully safe, encrypted, secure, and if we delete something then it does get deleted from the server too right?2. I mostly use this application for my grocery shopping, can you develop such a UI to easily maintain and manage the grocery list along with the functionality to remind me shopping and calculate bill based on the price we provide? (This will be something never before seen in any application notebook which is still quick and handy)
Probably the clean and neat Notebook apps I seen till now .

The best feature the make it extremely productive is clipping, and as I mind my own business, Zoho do it in same way. Never ever face the question “what are your Context”, when I, may not big brains but try to find a concept from where a innovative idea can be generated. If others have such clear concept of developing something that’s new but productive then why not provide those to people like me .At least whenever I wanted to clip Notebooks clippers kept my word . Thanks for beautiful coordination, very rarely seen .
