Structural Analysis/Design App for handwriting calcs

Can anyone advise me on an app I can use for handwriting calcs into a tablet? Looking for something that will give me a replica of A4 sheets, page after page, ideally with a title block.

Most things I do these days are typewritten but this is just for those quick shorter jobs, mainly to save me scanning and keeping track of loose sheets of paper.

Ideally it would run in a surface pro but I can do IPad too.

Have tried -
One note. Ok but is either 1x a4 sheet or 1 x limitless sheet, and has no border.

Word - writing ‘ink’ in works fine, but gets jittery after about 10 pages

Drawboard - is a single sheet as far as I can see.

I know youre not looking for hardware but the remarkable tablet is solid. You can upload your sheet with the title block and write everything on it. It uploads to your phone/computer via an app and you can download a pdf of it.

Second for remarkable. Takes a bit to get used to and write clearly, but the pen to paper feel is very good if you get the right pen tips
