BLISS Note: Notes PDF Planner

A handwriting note-taking app and PDF annotator for Android phones and tablets — write with an S Pen, any stylus or your finger. Ink on text notes, PDFs, slides and sheets, open Word, PowerPoint and Google files as notes, and keep notes inside notes.

■ One pen, every note
• The same pens, highlighter and tools on text notes, PDFs, drawings and sheets — ballpoint, fountain pen and more
• Write over your typed notes — ink stays on its page as you edit
• Free canvas, or A4, Letter, B5, square and slide paper, with lasso select & move
• Vector shapes and flowcharts with connectors, lock and group
• Handwriting to text, handwritten titles, and a zoom-write strip for small text
• S Pen: hold the side button to erase, or click it while hovering to open the pen palette

■ Bring in what you already have
• Word as a page note that keeps its layout, Excel and CSV as a sheet note, PowerPoint as editable slides to write on
• Google Docs, Sheets and Slides — from a link or your own Google Drive
• Notion pages and exports, and Markdown files — with sub-pages, databases and media
• Scan paper with the camera into a PDF you can write on
• Export to PDF, PPTX and Excel, or send a note as a .blissnote file with Quick Share or any app

■ Slides & spreadsheets
• Slide paper with title and body layouts; present with pen and laser pointer
• Sheet notes — formulas that recalculate, sort & filter, find & replace, a fill handle, and ink on top

■ Write together, nearby
