Can anyone suggest a good notetaking app for MacBook Pro? (I want to handwrite lecture notes instead of type). Do I need to buy a digital pen for this? Ideally, I want to open lecture slide files and be able to annotate them by hand. I have seen people doing this with iPads and am wondering if there is anything like that available for the MacBook Pro? Thanks.
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
The absolute best handwriting app is Notability. I have been using it for a year and it is PHENOMENAL! I have it on my iPhone, iPad and Macbook pro. It it seamless between all. Get it, you won't be disappointed.
Hello there jnov16,
I am having the same difficulty.
I purchased a bamboo pad for $60-$75 and that is how i can do my handwriting on the mac.
secondly, i think its possible to write on the trackpad with a pen or something (look that up).
I cant say its going to be as good as having a writing tablet.
as far as apps go,
the bamboo pad came with an app called "Bamboo Paper".
that is free to download. so you can get that.
I have been searching for handwriting apps.
and honestly, i found only one app so far called "Equil Note".
it syncs with evernote and dropbox.
the onenote app does not have the draw feature as of yet for the max os.
if anyone finds any good apps for handwriting let me know.
I hope Evernote and OneNote come out with handwriting feature.
Regards,
Handwriting app for macbook pro?
