    Without Visual Notes Canvas

    • ✗ Notes app for ideas, task app for work, drive for PDFs
    • ✗ Photographing whiteboards and never reading them again
    • ✗ Sketching on paper and losing the page
    • ✗ Re-typing text from screenshots

    With Visual Notes Canvas

    • One workspace for tasks, sketches, PDFs, and images
    • OCR turns every photo into searchable text
    • Sketches saved as JSON inside the note — instant to reopen
    • Paste a screenshot and you're done

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is the sketch tool a real whiteboard?

    Yes — it's tldraw embedded as a custom block. Pen, shapes, arrows, frames, and infinite canvas. The drawing saves inside the note as JSON, so it loads instantly with no extra storage cost.

    How big can PDFs be?

    Up to 25 MB per file. PDFs render page-by-page with prev/next and 50–300% zoom.

    Does OCR cost extra?

    Free tier includes 5 OCR runs per calendar month. Pro and Teams are unlimited. OCR uses our AI gateway — no API key needed from you.

    Where are images and PDFs stored?

    In private buckets keyed to your user ID, served via signed URLs that auto-renew. Public notes scope sharing per-file, not per-account.
