An Emisteme page with headings, a table, an equation and handwritten notes

Everything a semester needs

One app for lecture notes, readings, projects and deadlines, instead of a notebook, a PDF reader, a spreadsheet and a calendar.

Pages made of blocks

Headings, lists, to-dos, toggles, callouts, tables, columns and a table of contents. Type / to insert anything, or # for a heading.

Handwriting on any page

Write with a pen or a stylus right over your typed notes. Strokes stay attached to their paragraph, and shapes straighten themselves.

Equations

LaTeX equations and inline formulas, with command suggestions and alignment on the equals sign.

PDF reader and annotations

Highlight, write and add text boxes on PDFs, insert blank pages for your own notes, and pin an excerpt next to the page you are writing.

Databases

Tables, boards, galleries and lists, with relations, rollups and formulas, embedded in your pages when you need them.

Study Hub

Subjects, grades and averages, assignments and exams, in a planner with month, week and agenda views.

Export anywhere

PDF, Word, HTML, images, Markdown, or a single .emisteme file that restores the page exactly.

Yours, on your computer

No account and no cloud: everything is stored locally and works offline. Your notes never leave your machine.
