Cross platform note taking and PDF annotating app
Hello,
Most of my work involves note-taking and reading long PDFs. Up until now, I've been using Xournal++ with an XP-Pen tablet on my Windows PC. However, I recently got an iPad and have been struggling to find an app that can support both Windows and iOS which would be a good alternative.
Here is a list of required features:
- basic pen writing (quick response time, color options, and thickness selection)
- strokes eraser and selection tool (as opposed to an eraser that erases pixels locally)
- ability to change the background color
- save notes as files on any cloud service (so I can access and edit notes on both PC and iPad)
- export notes as PDF, (for me this implies that the notes are separated into pages of standard A4 format)
- open and annotate on long PDFs, such as books
Optional features:
- basic geometric drawing tools (lines, circles, rectangles)
- presentation tool (similar to a pen, but with automatic disappearance of writings after a short delay)
- insert vertical space option
- ability to insert text using keyboard inputs
- preferably free to use, or even better, open source
If you have any recommendations for an app that would fit, I would greatly appreciate your suggestions (╯^̮^)╯
By the way, for those with similar needs but without the iPad constraint, I recommend Xournal++ (available on Linux & Windows).
