What is Textable Notes?
Textable Notes is the note-taking space inside the Textable app. You can write a note in seconds, turn a scanned handwritten page into a note, and search across your notes later. It sits next to your task lists, calendar, expenses and warranties, so ideas stay connected to the rest of your day.

Ideas have a home
Good ideas arrive at awkward times: on a call, in a queue, halfway through something else. Textable Notes is made for that moment. Open the app, write a line and get on with your day. When you are ready to act, move the next steps into a task list.
If the idea started on paper, scan the page instead of retyping it. If it involves money, such as a budget for a pop-up stall, track the actual spending in Pocket Ledger.
