Documany

Documany is a powerful handwriting, PDF, and AI study app built for iPad. It combines the fluidity of Apple Pencil note-taking, PDF markup, and a personal tutor that prepares you for exams - all in one place. The AI features are completely optional; every note, PDF, audio, and calendar feature works without internet or an API key.

Just select a question, a draw or something you want to ask to AI, AI understands the need and replies back as a popup.

It also gets you ready for an exam by helping you understand the topics and asking questions to bring you up to a proficiency level.

RAG system remembers your choices, the subjects and the whole documents for your needs.

WRITING & DRAWING

• Low-latency, Metal-based ink engine for fluid Apple Pencil writing
• Pen, pencil (graphite feel), and highlighter with true translucency (text shows through)
• Adjustable color, width, opacity, and sharpness; each tool remembers its own settings
• Eraser (whole stroke / partial), laser pointer, shape recognition, ruler with angle dial
• Press and drag to move ink or text; two-finger resize

TEXT & MEDIA

• Text boxes anywhere on the page; font, size, bold/italic/underline, alignment

PDF WORKSPACE

• Import a PDF into a folder and write, draw, and mark up over its pages
• Box-select any region of a PDF, then copy/cut or send it to the AI

AUDIO

• Multiple recordings: attach to the whole document, a single page, or a point on a page
• See audio notes as pins, tap to play or delete; add an audio-only page
• Import an audio or video file and transcribe it; turn text into speech

LIVE CLASSROOM (NEW - real-time online teaching)

• Share your screen live: start a lesson and a short join code (optional password) is created
• Students join from their own iPad with a code and their name; approve each one or let anyone in
• They watch your screen (handwriting, drawings, PDFs) with low latency, raise their hand, ask questions, or point a laser
• Shared pen: hand it to a student to write on your document
• Two-way audio: students can unmute to speak and you can mute anyone; the active speaker is highlighted
• Turn on your camera to appear on the shared screen; open a collapsible participant list
• Automatic attendance saved as a note when the lesson ends; optionally send the lesson note to everyone
• Video and audio flow directly between devices (peer-to-peer); lesson content is never stored on a server

LIVE PRESENTING & STREAMING

• Live presenting: your front camera appears as a floating, background-removed bubble, with screen recording
• Optional: stream your screen live to your own YouTube channel

DYNAMIC CALENDAR

• Day, Week, Month, and Year views, full-screen, with an expandable hour grid
• Write directly on the calendar with Apple Pencil; scroll day by day with magnetic snapping

AI (optional, with your own key)

• Ask the AI about a selection, a PDF region, a page, or your whole notebook; the answer appears in a floating, draggable note card
• Reads handwriting and PDF text, solves problems step by step, and explains them
• Reads answers aloud with a natural voice; choose your model
• FOLDER STUDY ASSISTANT: fill a folder with exam PDFs and it learns every question, analyzes topic coverage, generates a custom practice exam, grades your answers, finds your weak topics, builds tailored study material, and tracks your progress

LIBRARY & SYNC

• Folders and subfolders, drag-and-drop moves, rename, and color
• Bulk select and delete; grid or list views, sorting, and search
• Automatic sync across your devices with iCloud Drive
• Export to PDF, PNG, and .gdraw; full library backup

PRIVACY Your notes stay on your device and, if you enable it, your own iCloud. When you use AI features, the relevant content is sent directly to the provider (such as Anthropic or ElevenLabs) using the API key you enter. We have no servers and do not collect your data.
