01The notebook
Everything a notebook does. Then the things it can’t.
Handwriting and typing live on the same page. Pick the paper, pick the pen, and let Tavora keep it all findable.
A pen that keeps up
Ballpoint, fountain pen and marker, a highlighter that blends like the real thing, clean shapes and arrows, and a lasso to move anything. Ink is drawn with low latency and motion prediction, so lines land where the nib is.
Search your handwriting
Tavora reads your writing on the tablet, so search finds words you wrote by hand as well as typed.
Real paper
Blank, lined, grid, dotted or Cornell, on seven page colours. Ink adjusts so it stays readable, even on black.
An infinite canvas
Mind maps, diagrams and plans on a canvas with no edges: text boxes, shapes, sticky notes and media.
Voice notes
Record a lecture or a meeting inside the note and keep the transcript beside it. Pro turns it into a summary or action items.
Your day, next to your notes
A calendar with week, day, month and agenda views, a daily journal, to-dos, alarms and a focus timer. All of it free, all of it on your tablet.
What Tavora does beyond the page
02PDFs
Write on the PDF, not beside it.
Import a PDF into a note and every page becomes paper you can write on: circle, highlight, annotate in the margin and add pages of your own.
- Scan paper into PDFs with the camera, then merge, split and organise pages on the device, free.
- With Pro: edit text, sign, compress, make scans searchable and convert to and from Word.
03Tavora AI
Ask your notes. Get answers you can keep.
Tavora AI reads the part of your notebook you point it at: this page, the pages nearby, a chapter or the whole book. Ask for a summary, an explanation or the steps of a proof, then drop the answer into your note.
- Math comes back as real equations. Attach a photo, a PDF or a voice note, or circle part of the screen.
- Included with Pro, and with Premium at two and a half times the allowance, plus image generation.
04Sync and web
Every page, on every screen.
With Pro, your notebooks sync between your tablet and the Tavora web app. Open a note in any browser and it looks the way you left it: the same pages, paper and handwriting.
- Keep writing on the web with a mouse, a pen tablet or touch; changes sync back to the tablet.
- Notes stay on your tablet until you turn sync on.
05Privacy
Your notes are yours.
A notebook holds what you think before you are ready to share it. We built Tavora to be worthy of that.
No ads, no third-party trackers
There are no advertising or analytics scripts on this site, and the apps show no ads. The apps record which features you use and when, never what you write, and you can turn that off.
Device-first
Notes live on your tablet and work without an account. Sync is something you switch on.
AI you can reason about
Tavora AI only sees what you send it, and we say plainly where it goes. Read how.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Something else? Visit support or write to us.
Is Tavora Notes free?
Yes. On your Android tablet or phone you can write, type, draw, use every paper style, write on PDFs, use the on-device PDF tools, record voice notes and plan your days for free, without an account; with a free account, those PDF tools work in your browser too. The paid plans add cloud sync, your notes in the web app, Tavora AI and the online PDF tools.
Which devices does it run on?
Android tablets and phones running Android 7.0 or later, with a stylus or your finger. It is built for tablets with an active pen, such as a Samsung Galaxy Tab with S Pen. The web app runs in current versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.
Where do I download it?
Tavora Notes for Android is on Google Play as an early version in open testing, so anyone can install it. The download page has the link.
What does the web app do?
It opens the notes you sync from your tablet: pages and canvases with their handwriting, typed text, folders, the journal, voice notes, the calendar, alarms and Tavora AI. You can keep writing with a mouse, a pen tablet or touch, and every change syncs back. It also has the PDF tools: making, merging, splitting, editing and signing PDFs in your browser, and the online tools.
How much AI do I get?
Every plan with AI includes a monthly allowance, and the app shows how much of it is left as a percentage. Short questions use very little of it; long documents, big attachments and deep thinking use more. Premium's allowance is two and a half times Pro's. It renews each month on the date your plan started and does not roll over.
Can I try Pro before paying?
Yes. The Android app offers a 7-day free trial of Pro through Google Play, once per Google account. Google Play asks for a payment method, and unless you cancel there before the trial ends, Pro then starts at the monthly price shown. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing, or start Pro sooner whenever you like. The trial has Pro's features, but AI may be limited or not included.
Can I cancel at any time?
Yes. Cancel whenever you like and your plan stays active until the end of the period you have paid for. The refund policy explains when we refund a payment.
What happens to my notes if I stop paying?
Nothing on your tablet changes: your notes stay there and remain free to use. Cloud sync stops, and your synced notes stay readable in the web app for 30 days, where you can download them all. We email you before anything is deleted, and if you resubscribe within those 30 days, everything is kept.
Pick up the pen.
Tavora Notes is free on your tablet. Add Pro when you want sync, the web app and Tavora AI.
