Add Scriven to Claude or ChatGPT. It sees the page you’re on, and writes on it in your notebook’s handwriting.

A MacBook Pro and an iPad Pro. On the Mac, ChatGPT beside Scriven on the web: asked to draw the heart in a Biology notebook, it calls Scriven's tools (get_user_view, search_references, get_writing_guide, apply_edits, view_page) and a labelled heart appears under the notes, in the notebook's handwriting. The iPad shows the same page.

Questions

Is Scriven Notes really free?

Yes. Notebooks, templates, PDFs, recordings, whiteboards, search, presenting and exports are free on your iPad, with no limits. You pay only for more of the AI and your own handwriting.

What does the AI do?

It works on your page. Circle something with the Magic pen and write what you want, or hold Talk and say it. It writes steps, graphs and notes by hand, and every change waits for Keep or Undo.

Can it write in my handwriting?

Yes, on a paid plan. It learns your hand as you write, and writes more like you the more you do. Until then it uses one of its own hands.

Can I try the AI for free?

Yes. Sign in and you get 300 credits to start, and the AI on your iPad runs on them.

Can I bring my notes from another app?

Yes. Notebooks from GoodNotes, Notability and LiquidText come in as ink you can edit, and any PDF opens as a notebook.

What do I need?

An iPad. Your notebooks are on the web too, in any browser.

Which pencils work?

Apple Pencil, and the other styluses made for iPad, like Logitech Crayon.

Who can see my notes?

You, and the people you share them with. We don’t sell your data or use it for ads.

In the evening at a desk under lamplight, someone writes on an iPad showing photosynthesis notes on a dark page.
