What it does
Handwritten Studio combines pen-based writing, PDF annotation, templates, sticky notes, and corkboards in one notebook-oriented app. The official site says local use is free and that Studio+ adds cross-device sync. It currently directs users to join an Android open test and describes the app as an early-testing release.
Handwritten Studio is for people who think on paper-like pages but also want to rearrange ideas on sticky notes or corkboards. The product keeps local notebooks free and makes sync an optional Studio+ layer, which is a clear separation between offline work and account-based convenience. The site invites Android testers, so this should be treated as an early-access product rather than a mature cross-platform release; the Studio+ price was not disclosed in the page text checked.
