Blankbook - Paper Note

By: 璐 徐
Note-taking on infinite canvas

Features & Capabilities

Blankbook - Paper Note reimagines handwriting on a Chrome extension with an infinite scrolling canvas and a bookshelf-style interface. It keeps your content legible and organized with seven static paper types (dotted, squared, watercolor, and more), both dark and light variants, and Apple Pencil-powered drawing tools. The see-through preview and seamless canvas ensure your ideas flow without constantly creating new pages.

Intuitiveness and shortcuts drive your workflow: tap the note title to rename, long-press to reorder, two-finger tap to undo, and two-finger pinch to zoom. Three quick-access slots per note let you pin your favorite tools, while system-driven dark mode keeps the visuals comfortable. Special thanks to Yuanyu Zhou and contributors for ideas, testing, and feedback.

User Reviews

Blankbook is praised for its distraction-free, handwriting-focused writing and a one-time-purchase model, but reviews repeatedly flag data loss, crashes, and slow performance. Users like the simple interface and natural handwriting, plus customizable paper/pen options, but complain about no backups, limited page capacity, and inconsistent premium restoration. Overall, it’s appealing for drift-free writing and simplicity, yet reliability and pricing concerns significantly undermine its value.
Pros
  • One-time purchase / no subscription required
  • Distraction-free blank page with basic writing tools and paper customization
  • Natural, smooth handwriting feel (similar to OneNote) with minimal distraction
  • Simple, intuitive to use for note-taking and sketching
  • Customizable paper and pen options for writing and drawing
Cons
  • Data loss: notes disappearing and crashes leading to permanent loss
  • Frequent stability issues: crashes, app sometimes won’t open, long load times as data grows
  • Lack of backups or cloud sync; difficult to recover after reinstall
  • Page limit: only two pages per category; limits content unless Pro upgrade
  • Pricing/premium issues and restoration problems after reinstall; expensive and not reliably restored

I used this for a while in my undergrad and it was great! However, there are quite a few bugs these days and it desperately needs an update. For one, when you try to delete a note… it doesn’t permanently delete and it’s back the next time you open the app. 2, once you have a certain amount of data, it takes FOREVER to open. 3, once you have a certain amount of notes, it doesn’t matter if you open an empty note or not, it will likely lag. 4, there’s no option to consolidate or off-load notes to free up space and processing power. It has the potential to be one of the best note apps… except for these issues I mentioned. I hope they get fixed, but it’s been this way for over a year now…

Worked great for school until everything disappeared without warning. Would not recommend to anyone.
