Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

HandWrite Pro turns your tablet or phone into a precise vector notebook. Take handwritten notes, annotate PDFs, and sketch with stylus or finger – no tracking, no account required. Built in Hamburg, Germany, by an independent developer. Trusted by over 1 million users. WHY HANDWRITE PRO IS DIFFERENT Most note-taking apps store your strokes as pixels. HandWrite Pro uses a true vector engine, so you can zoom infinitely without blur, edit individual points, and export to SVG for Inkscape or Adobe Illustrator. That makes it the only Android note app that fits both lecture halls and design workflows. KEY FEATURES - PDF markup – import, annotate, and export PDFs - Vector engine – lossless zoom, infinite canvas, point-level editing - Stylus support – pressure-sensitive drawing with Samsung S-Pen and other active pens - Speed Pen – simulated line variation for finger or passive stylus - Layers – work like in professional design software - Export – PDF, JPG, PNG, and SVG - Organization – folders, tags, and custom labels - Paper styles – endless canvas, lined, dotted, grid, and custom sizes - Cloud sync – automatic backup to Google Drive or your own Nextcloud server FAIR PRICING – YOU CHOOSE Most features are free forever. To unlock the premium add-on, pick what works for you: - Low-cost trial subscription – try all premium features for a small monthly fee, cancel anytime - Lifetime license (recommended) – one payment, yours forever, no recurring fees No hidden costs. No forced subscriptions. Decide after you've tried it. PREMIUM FEATURES INCLUDE - Handwriting-to-text recognition (on-device AI) - Calligraphic and fill pens - PDF annotation export - SVG export - Cloud sync – Google Drive or your own Nextcloud server PRIVACY FIRST - No tracking - No data collection - No account required - GDPR-compliant - Self-host your data with Nextcloud – no third-party cloud required BEST ON Samsung Galaxy Tab with S-Pen, and any Android tablet or phone with an active stylus.
