Take notes, annotate PDFs, and stay organized with layers, tags, and flexible templates. Everything comes together on an infinite canvas built for smooth thinking.
I’m Steven, the maker of StarNote, and I’m excited to finally share it with you!
If you’ve ever tried handwriting notes, sketching ideas, or annotating PDFs on an Android tablet, you probably know how limited most apps can feel — either too clunky, too expensive, or simply not built for real productivity. That’s why we built StarNote.
💡What Makes StarNote Stand Out?
Natural Handwriting Experience: Smooth, responsive writing with a flexible brush toolkit that feels just right.
PDF Annotation Made Easy: Highlight, underline, add comments, or write directly on PDFs.
Multi-Format Support: Work with PDFs, DOCs, PPTs, and EPUBs in one place.
Tagging, Outlines & Excerpts: Stay organized with tools that let you tag, structure, and summarize your notes.
🎯 Who Is StarNote For?
Students – Taking handwritten lecture notes, reviewing slides, annotating textbooks.
Teachers & Educators – Grading assignments, preparing materials, or marking up lesson plans.
Knowledge Workers – Reviewing PDFs, capturing meeting thoughts, or sketching ideas during calls.
Planners & Journalers – Using paper-style templates to reflect, plan, and write freely on a clean digital surface.
✨ If you think better by hand and want a calm, powerful space to work and create on your Android tablet — StarNote is made for you.
We’d love to hear your feedback — suggestions, ideas, or questions. Thanks for checking us out!
This is really great, especially if the input lag on the pen is low enough (everything but the OG Samsung note taker seems to have a bunch of latency on the Tab Ultra)!
One note - Your Play Store app title looks pretty unprofessional, add some spacing and maybe rethink the description ("StarNote:Note-taking,PDFs" doesn't inspire confidence and commas in names are a bit weird IMHO).
I'll test it a bit and see if I have more feedback, good luck with this project!!
The most important thing in a note-taking app like this is how well it optimizes the user experience! Hope it comes to iOS soon!
Wow I really love the extension feature!
As a college student builder who experienced a lot of note apps, I can definitely say you know what users really need.
Good luck and congratulations!
Congrats on the PH launch, Steven @star_note ! 🎉 As an tablet power user, StarNote's infinite canvas + PDF/EPUB support is exactly what I've needed for lecture prep! ✍️ Love the flexible brush toolkit – feels like real pen-on-paper flow.
One growth idea: Have you considered template collaboration? Teachers could share lesson plan layouts ❤️, and students might trade study note templates. And any plan for iOS version or web version?
(P.S. We're building our full-stack Agent Builder platform, Tate-A-Tate. Imagine letting users build custom agent with subcription for by combining user's notes... 👀 Let’s chat about collabs!)
I haven't found a very useful handwriting note taking tool on my Samsung tablet. StarNote can be said to be the perfect replacement for GoodNotes on Android tablets, with borderless paper, layers, dual opening notes, rich stickers and templates, meeting all my needs for handwriting notes. Most importantly, it can support a wide range of e-book formats such as PDF and EPUB, making it a perfect application for me
Looks like a great tool - really useful for note taking and annotating! The last screenshot shows a planner template, do you have or are your planning on adding journal templates as well?
Very good! Taking notes can be as colorful as drawing. I hope you can launch the iOS app as soon as possible. I can't wait to use it.
I have always wanted to make a similar product and it feels great. Congratulations! I hope you can succeed.
I have noticed that there are many similar products on the market. What is the greatest competitive advantage of your products?
Very useful tool. Hope to launch iOS application as soon as possible. Thank you.
Good product. I hope you will continue to optimize and improve the product.
If you’re someone who loves minimal design, StarNote is perfect. It’s got everything I need and nothing I don’t. Simple, intuitive, and fast. Definitely my new go-to for notes. 👍
Hey! StarNote sounds like an amazing tool for anyone who loves note-taking and PDF editing on Android tablets, finally! The idea of using layers, tags, and flexible templates on an infinite canvas is super cool—it really seems perfect for staying organized. I love that it’s designed for smooth thinking, making it easy to jot down notes and annotate PDFs without a hassle. Can't wait to see how it helps people get their thoughts together! Keep up the great work!
As a father, I need to make a lot of drafts and comments when I help my child with homework. The products currently on the market always feel a bit awkward to use. I hope you can surprise me.
I've seen AI everywhere on producthunt recently. Finally I saw a unique product. Congratulations and I hope you can succeed.
Congrats on the launch, Steven! StarNote looks like a fantastic tool for anyone who prefers handwriting and visual thinking on Android tablets. I’m curious—how does StarNote handle handwriting recognition or converting handwritten notes to text? Are there any plans to add features like real-time sync across devices or integration with popular cloud services (like Google Drive or OneDrive)? Looking forward to trying it out!
