Sounds like you need it? Let us explore more._ + +We have featured numerous note-taking applications, but options that support handwritten notes are a handful. + +Rnote is one such helpful application that lets you take handwritten notes and annotate documents/pictures. + +Of course, you need a drawing tablet or a setup with a stylus to use Rnote. + +### Rnote: Vector-based Drawing App for Sketching and Handwritten Notes + +![rnote screenshot][1] + +Rnote is an impressive open-source app written in Rust and GTK 4. + +It provides an adaptive UI focused on stylus input. It looks pretty minimal and yet offers some of the essential features that one would need for handwritten notes. + +Let me highlight some of the things it can do. + +**Recommended Read**: [**Best Note-Taking Apps for Linux Users**][2] + +### Features of Rnote + +![rnote settings][3] + +[Rnote][4] is a simple yet capable sketching/note-taking app. Some features include: + +- Supports pressure-sensitive stylus input with various stroke styles +- Add different shapes with the shape tool +- A selection tool to move, rotate, resize, and modify the content you add/draw. +- Document expand layouts +- Customizable page format +- Customizable background colors, patterns, and sizes +- Pen sound support for feedback +- Reconfigurable stylus button shortcuts +- Integrated workspace browser for quick media file access +- Drag and drop support +- Clipboard support +- Common page formats supported (A6, A5, US letter, etc) +- Import from PDF, bitmap, and SVG files. +- Native .rnote file to save/load documents. +- Export to SVG and PDF supported +- Autosave functionality +- Dark/Light mode + +The developers note that the native file format used by Rnote may not be stable enough for compatibility between newer versions of the application. + +So, it is best to export your work when you are done before upgrading Rnote to its latest version. + +In addition to its features, you get a good user experience with the available options. It does not feel overwhelming, and you can access all the tools quickly. + +Some customization is available to hide the scrollbars, change the cursor, and tweak the drawing cursor. + +You can also adjust the time interval for autosave to kick in, which should come in handy for various use cases. + +![rnote screenshot 1][5] + +### Installing Rnote on Linux + +Rnote is available as a Flatpak on [Flathub][6]. So, as long as you have [Flatpak enabled on your system][7], you can install it on any Linux distribution. + +You can find it in your software center (if Flatpak integration has been enabled) or type in the following command to get it installed: + +``` +flatpak install flathub com.github.flxzt.rnote +``` + +To explore more about Rnote, head to its [GitHub page][8]. + +### Wrapping Up + +Rnote is actively developed and making good progress with its feature set. If you like Rnote, you might want to look at [Xournal++][9], another app that enables you to take handwritten notes. + +_Do you know of any other exciting apps like Rnote? What do you think of Rnote?
