What it does

Notability is a note-taking app for handwriting, document markup, and audio recording. It can generate summaries, quizzes, flashcards, and action items from notes, documents, or recordings. It is available on iOS, Android, Web, Mac, and Windows.

Notability is a note-taking app that combines handwriting, document import, and audio recording with AI study tools. The homepage says you can take notes, import documents, or record audio and get summaries in real time. It also lists AI-powered quizzes and flashcards generated from your notes, chat with your notes, action items, and YouTube link-to-note conversion. The pricing page shows a free Starter plan with 5 free notes and all editing tools, then paid tiers: Lite, Plus, and Pro for individuals, plus Business and Business Pro for teams. Some features are limited on lower plans, such as AI quizzes, flashcards, and audio transcription on Plus, and third party backups are iOS only. The Learn Guarantee says if Notability does not help, they will cover the cost for the rest of the semester. The page does not state whether an account is required, whether an API exists, or whether the software is open source.
