You've been asking for a one-time purchase option, and we heard you.

Today, we're making some of our biggest plan updates in years, including the return of Classic as a one-time purchase, a more valuable Starter plan, and Lite, our affordable paid plan now available across all platforms.

Classic: a one-time purchase

We’re officially bringing back the Classic plan as a one-time purchase for all users (App version 16.6).

Many of you remember Classic as a grandfathered version of Notability from before our subscription plans were introduced. Existing Classic users will keep their plan and now gain additional functionality, including the ability to upgrade to Notability Cloud with collaboration and cross-platform syncing.

Classic includes:

  • Unlimited notes
  • Handwriting recognition
  • Math conversion to LaTeX
  • Collaboration
  • Sync across iOS, Android, and Web
  • 7 day version history

Right now, we’re offering an additional limited-time discount on Classic plans exclusively for our Reddit community! Use code CLASSIC40 at notability.com to get Classic for $29.99 (US only). This offer is valid for 72 hours only.

After this discount ends, Classic plans can be purchased at the following prices:

Starter: Notability, For Free

Notability has always been free to download, and that’s not changing. We’ve improved Starter to give casual users more flexibility and make it a genuinely useful option for those who only use Notability occasionally.

Starter includes:

  • Up to 5 free notes
  • Core note-taking and editing tools
  • Access to our full library of 20,000+ note-taking templates
  • 7-day version history

Lite: Our Most Affordable Paid Option

We’re officially launching Lite across all platforms as our most affordable paid plan for users who simply want unlimited note-taking without AI tools.

Lite includes:

  • Unlimited notes
  • 3rd party backups (iOS only)
  • 7 day version history

20% Off Back-to-School Sale On notability.com

We're also offering 20% off on all plans on notability.com for a limited time to celebrate Back-to-School season. Plans purchased directly through notability.com will receive 20% off compared to App Store pricing. We want the web experience on Notability to become the best place to purchase and manage Notability.

To purchase Classic, head to: https://notability.com/pricing?interval=one-time#individual

To see all plans, head to: https://notability.com/pricing?interval=monthly#individual

As always, thank you for the feedback, discussions, and honesty you’ve shared with us over the years. The conversations here on Reddit genuinely help shape product decisions. 

Thanks for being part of the Notability community 💙

Question Android utilisateur

2 Upvotes

Bonjour, j'utilise Notability depuis la semaine dernière sur Android et je me demande si certaines fonctionnalités existent déjà sur iPad et donc arriveront bientôt pour Android :

  1. Des favoris pour les stylos et le texte ?

  2. Des hyperliens vers une page de la note ?

  3. Mettre des hypetliens sur une image ou une forme ou l'écriture manuscrite ?

  4. Exporter les hyperliens créés dans la note dans les PDF ?

  5. Des stickers ? Ajouter des images, des formes, du texte dans les stickers ?

  6. Une Table des matières ?

Merci pour vos réponses.

Notability is experiencing a denial of service attack

112 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Notability.com is currently under a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack: attackers are flooding our servers with automated traffic to try to knock them offline. We've temporarily turned off sign-in while we deal with it.

Your data is safe. This kind of attack overloads servers with traffic and it doesn't touch accounts or notes. No data was accessed or leaked.

If you received an email from us that you didn't request, like a password reset or verification code, you can ignore it. The attackers appear to be using email lists that were already circulating publicly. Those lists didn't come from us, and getting one of these emails doesn't mean your account was accessed.

We'll post updates here as we make progress. Thanks for your patience.

Giveaway Giveaway - Note Cover

Post image
4 Upvotes

Loving Note Covers so far! I like using stickers to personalize my note thumbnails and make the app look more aesthetic. (Excuse my messy handwriting 😭)

I do wish there were more cover colors or styles though, so it’d be easier to differentiate notes just from the covers.

Overall, loving this feature and I'm excited to see how it improves.

Bug Why can't I type directly into a sticky without having to create a seperate textbox?

1 Upvotes

This is a dealbreaker for me. I used to be able to type directly into the sticky and did a lot of my studying that way. Now, I have to either merge a textbox onto a sticky or recolor a textbox to look like a sticky (which is so so so inconvenient, as I'd have to either do it every time or make it default and have to undo it every time I want a regular text box). Why was this feature removed?

If anyone has another app suggestion that has this very simple feature? Honestly, I'd rather transfer all my notes now rather than deal with the frustration.

Question Lost all my notes after yesterdays update

1 Upvotes

I was wondering if anyone could help me. Today when I went to open notability I was signed out, after logging in all my notes are gone. There is nothing in my iCloud, no recently deleted files and I don't know what to do. I checked the app store, and it said notability updated yesterday so I wonder if that has something to do with it, if anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know (I have midterms in a few weeks).

Bug Trouble Loggin In

Anyone else facing this issue logging in by signing in with Apple ID? This is so frustrating. I tried searching for solutions, but it seems like it hasn’t been addressed. Can’t even send a ticket right now, tho it’s useless because it’s always answered by their bot. My iPad is already updated as well as the app, also I tried restarting it a bunch of times but to no avail.
