Zibaldone: Handwriting Notes

Connected thinking on paper-like pages. Zibaldone reads your handwriting, so every page becomes searchable and linkable: find anything you wrote, discover connections you missed, and export your pages to plain Markdown. A notebook for deliberate thinking with Apple Pencil, for students, researchers, Zettelkasten and second-brain practitioners, and anyone who thinks best with a pen. Named after the poet Giacomo Leopardi's notebook of connected thoughts. Write to Think • Your handwriting is searchable: a page you scrawled last month is as easy to find as one you typed. • Teach recognition your own names and jargon with a custom dictionary. • A canvas that blends handwriting and typed Markdown on one page: drop text, images, tags and tasks anywhere. • Scratch over a word to erase it. No mode switch, no hunting for the eraser. • Handwriting tidy-up levels wandering words, and it stays your handwriting, not a font. • Rough lines, arrows, circles and boxes snap into clean shapes as you draw. • Lasso ink, text and images together to move or resize them as one. • Distraction-free Focus mode hides everything but the page. Link to Understand • Knowledge Graph, a living map of your ideas, built from your links, your tags (including hashtags written by hand) and the connections the app finds on its own. • Knowledge Graph Intelligence, powered by on-device Apple Intelligence, surfaces related pages you haven't linked yet and suggests tags you already use. No note content is ever sent anywhere for analysis. • Connect pages with [[wikilinks]] and autocomplete, and backlinks appear automatically. • Link to a page that doesn't exist yet and it waits in your graph as a placeholder. • Filter the graph by notebook or tag when the whole picture is too much. Act on What Matters • A planner where tasks evolve naturally from notes: add a task right on the page and it appears in your lists. • Today, Upcoming and Anytime lists, plus daily, weekly, monthly and yearly plans. • Every task links back to the page it came from. Notebooks That Feel Like Notebooks • Real page turns, double-sided pages, and paper from graph to college ruled to Seyès. • Open two windows side by side: write in one, keep the graph or your tasks in the other. Own Your Notes • Pick a folder once, in iCloud Drive or anywhere else, and the pages you write are exported as plain Markdown as you work. • Point it at your Markdown vault: [[wikilinks]] and typed #tags come through intact, with handwriting embedded as images and YAML frontmatter on every note. • No lock-in: your notes land in a folder you own, in a format that will still open in twenty years. Private by Default, Synced by Choice • No account, no sign-up. Works fully offline, and your notes never reach our servers. • Optional iCloud sync keeps your iPads in step, through your own private iCloud database. • Edit the same page on two iPads and the handwriting merges stroke by stroke. Neither device overwrites the other. Plans Start free, with no ads and no watermark.
