Pronotes gets
out of the way.
A pencil-first notebook for iPad. Write by hand, scan or import pages, organize by subject, search your library, record audio, and export clean notes from a quiet panorama interface.

the product
paper feel.
computer memory.
Pronotes is built around one rule: the interface should disappear when you are thinking. Spacing, labels and motion do the work. Chrome stays quiet.
new
Start with handwriting, scanning a page, importing a file, or attaching media. Clear routes, no buried menu.
subjects
Top-level folders become subjects. Drill from subject to folder to note without losing where you are.
browse all
Search across the library, then continue straight into the note that matched without rebuilding context.
this week
See pages, notes, inbox and trash as working signals, not dashboard decoration.
the engine
built from the
ink up.
Pronotes and its frameworks are original first-party work by 2D Geometry, Inc. The product, the home surface, the note model and the ink stack are designed together.

pencil input
treated seriously
treated seriously
Pressure, tilt, speed and timing are part of the stroke, not an afterthought. The result is ink that tracks the way your hand actually moves.
02 — MetalRender2D
pages stay
responsive
responsive
The renderer is built for heavy ink, zooming and page movement, so writing stays direct even when a notebook grows.

motion as
orientation

Panorama movement, turnstile layers, staggered rows and tilt feedback exist to answer one question: where did I come from, and where can I go next?

everything has
a clear route.
The website mirrors the app: horizontal sections, strong labels, flat rules, and content that moves while the frame stays quiet.

01
write by hand
Apple Pencil input with pressure, tilt and speed preserved in the stroke, drawn by a first-party ink engine.
02
scan or import
Turn paper into a note, bring in a PDF, then write directly on top without switching tools or context.
03
find the page
Browse everything from one search surface and return to the right note without losing your place.
04
structure the page
Use ruler, guides, selection, highlighter and eraser when structure helps. Leave the tools quiet when it does not.
05
organize by subject
Subjects, folders and notes form a readable route. Dotted leaders, counts and arrows show exactly where the next step is.
06
record in context
Audio can live beside the note, with timing data designed to connect what you heard with what you wrote.
07
share and sync
Export clean PDFs and keep notebooks available with optional iCloud sync through your own Apple account.

typography first.
chrome last.
2D Geometry is a small independent software studio. We build tools for thinking by hand, guided by public transit signage, airport wayfinding and Swiss typographic systems.
Pronotes is our first product: a quiet notebook where spacing, labels and motion carry the interface.

- flat by defaulthairlines, paper color, high contrast and almost no ornament.
- motion orientspanorama, turnstile, continuum and staggered motion explain movement.
