About NoteThisDown

NoteThisDown removes the retyping of handwritten notes. You take a photo with your phone, AI transcribes the handwriting into clean, formatted text, and the result is saved as a new page in your chosen Notion database in under a minute, with date properties, tags and the original image attached.

It handles messy handwriting and cursive, supports multi-page scanning by uploading a batch of up to ten photos that are compiled into one document, and runs as a progressive web app on phone, tablet or desktop that can be added to the home screen. A free tool and pricing page are also on the site. It is aimed at students and professionals who prefer paper. A 7-day unlimited free trial is offered and can be cancelled at any time.
