Stylus Labs Write review
A focused choice for handwritten notes, sketches, and collaborative whiteboards.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Nov 2026
Stylus Labs Write is a handwriting-focused note-taking and drawing application for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad. It is designed for people who want to write by hand, organize handwritten documents, sketch, insert images, and work across different device platforms. Bookmarks, handwritten links, customizable pens, page sizes, colors, and ruling support more structured personal notes, while split view lets you display two documents or sections together.
Its standout feature is the ruled insert-space tool, which reflows handwriting when additional room is added to a page. That makes the document format more adaptable than a fixed canvas while preserving a handwritten workflow. The app also supports SVG documents and PDF export, giving users options for editing and sharing their work. Real-time shared whiteboarding extends the product beyond private notes, making it relevant to collaborative visual work as well as individual writing.
The free plan includes handwritten notes and drawing but places a watermark on each page. Write Pro removes that watermark. Stylus Labs Write is also open source and supports synchronization with other services through accessible files, with iCloud listed as an integration. Choose it if handwriting, sketches, reflowable pages, and shared whiteboards matter more than a broad productivity suite. Users who primarily want typed notes or a wider set of direct integrations may prefer a different note-taking approach.
