> Offline infinite-canvas app for visual notes, PDFs and video

Noteey is a visual note-taking app built around an infinite canvas for Mac and Windows. Cards, sticky notes, mind maps, drawings, images, PDFs, videos and audio sit on the same board, and highlights taken from documents or videos link back to their source. Data is stored on your computer and the core features work without an account; a paid license lifts the limits of the free plan.

## Key features

- **Infinite canvas:** Text, shapes, lines, drawings, images, videos, PDFs, audio, mind maps, sticky notes, frames, embedded web pages and cards share one board, and a project can hold several boards.
- **Highlight system:** Text in cards and text or areas in PDFs can be highlighted, and videos and audio take time-stamped notes. A highlight dragged onto the canvas jumps back to its place in the source.
- **Library for reuse:** Cards, PDFs, videos and highlights are kept in a library, where they can be tagged and pulled into other projects from the sidebar.
- **Card properties and views:** Cards can be given properties and shown in multiple views, which the site presents as a personal database for structuring notes.
- **Presentation and publishing:** Presentation mode steps through a project's boards. Projects export as a local copy others can open, as PDF or as images, and can be published to the web.
- **Offline, local storage:** Core features work without logging in and data stays on the computer. Paid licenses add sync through a folder in OneDrive, Google Drive or iCloud.

## Good for

- Visual thinkers who lay out notes, PDFs and videos on one canvas
- Students and researchers annotating PDFs and lecture videos
- People who want a whiteboard app that works offline without an account

## Worth knowing

- The Free plan stops at 3 projects and 100 cards, with annotation limited to 3 PDFs and 3 video or audio files.
- There are no iPhone, iPad or Android apps yet: the download page marks both as Coming Soon, and the browser version is an offline beta.
- There is no native cloud sync. The pricing FAQ says it is still being planned and points to third-party drives instead.
- A Desktop Pro license covers the desktop apps only; unlimited web publishing, YouTube transcripts and AI summaries need Premium.
