Caught between heavy notebooks on one side and overloaded tablets on the other, pupils are left without a simple, reliable tool for focused learning.
Evonote was created as an answer. It is a minimalist digital notebook that combines the natural feel of handwriting with the efficiency of cloud backup. Built on E-Ink technology, it is closer to paper than to a tablet — no direct light, no eye strain, and ultra-low power consumption that makes it practical for hours of uninterrupted writing.
Paper-like display with no direct light and ultra-low power usage. Comfortable for long sessions of natural handwriting with a stylus. Battery life measured in days of class use, not hours of screen time.
No external apps, games, or ads. No app-switching, no notifications, no distractions. A small set of carefully designed tools dedicated to handwriting and page management.
Writing is auto-saved page by page. Each notebook keeps a cloud backup so notes are stored, archived, and restorable. The system is resilient by design: page images and operations (write/erase) are preserved in order, ensuring consistency between device and cloud.
Built for school, not for office multitasking. Real writing with a stylus, page-based organization, and a distraction-free workflow so students can focus. Teachers get predictable behavior and simple routines instead of complex “app” setups.
Less paper, less waste. E-Ink plus minimalist software means low energy consumption and a smaller footprint over time.
Evonote is a single-purpose learning tool that results from combining a minimalist software architecture with a compatible E-Ink device to serve one goal: focused handwriting for education.
The current prototypes are tested on four BOOX Go 10.3 devices. This hardware was selected for its paper-like display, endurance, and suitability for long handwriting sessions. Evonote runs as independent software on these devices, shaping them into dedicated digital notebooks for the classroom.
