Rnote is a vector-based note-taking and drawing application designed for capturing handwritten input. It functions as a digital workspace that records stylus pressure and movement to create sketches and notes, storing them as mathematical paths rather than pixels to allow for infinite scaling and non-destructive editing.
The application provides a flexible canvas environment that supports infinite scrolling and various page layouts. Users can organize their work using a layer-based system, which allows for the independent manipulation and ordering of individual strokes, shapes, and background assets. The interface includes a tabbed workspace for managing multiple open documents simultaneously.
Beyond its core drawing capabilities, the software supports the import and export of external files in standard formats. It is available as a cross-platform tool for creating and refining vector-based graphics and handwritten content.
