Draw smoother. Zoom further. Notely now features predicted touch rendering for instant-feeling strokes, pixel-perfect shape snapping, and a zoom range from 0.001 to 100M.

Notely is a powerful, privacy-first note-taking and drawing app built for iPad and iPhone. Write, sketch, annotate, and organize — all without creating an account or sending a single byte of data off your device.

DRAW WITH PRECISION Use pen, pencil, and highlighter tools with full Apple Pencil pressure sensitivity. Draw shapes, select and move strokes with the lasso tool, and fine-tune your work with adjustable stroke smoothing. Predicted touch rendering keeps your strokes feeling instant.

INFINITE ZOOM Zoom from 0.001% to 100,000,000% — navigate massive canvases and zoom into the finest details without losing quality.
