Traditional digital whiteboard tools often suffer from significant latency, require persistent high-speed internet connections, or force educators into rigid subscription-based cloud ecosystems.
SmartNoteAI solves these challenges by:
- Operating 100% Offline: All core capabilities—including vector drawing, LaTeX equation rendering, PDF importing, and resource management—run locally on your PC without mandatory cloud accounts.
- First-Class Hardware Stylus Support: Native integration with precision digitizers (XP-Pen, Wacom, Huion) with real-time pressure dynamics and touch palm rejection.
- Seamless Screen Annotation: Educators can instantly toggle to Desktop Mode to annotate directly over live code (VS Code), presentations, browser simulations, or video lessons without interrupting the classroom flow.
- STEM-Optimized Teaching Tools: Integrated mathematical rulers, 180° protractors, coordinate axes, and KaTeX equation formatting tailored for mathematics, physics, and computer science teaching.
Live classroom lecture canvas showing Navier-Stokes, Gauss Divergence, Cauchy Integral, and Riemann Zeta formulas, binary search tree, 50 cm metric ruler, 180° protractor, and cosine waveform.
Annotating directly over Visual Studio Code, Python Jupyter Notebook, and Matplotlib data visualization with handwritten notes, arrows, and the floating bottom dock.
Active mathematical instruments on canvas including a 50 cm metric ruler, 180° classroom protractor measuring 60° angles on an equilateral triangle, and dynamic compass arc ($r = 10.1\text{ cm}$).
Circular spotlight beam dimming the background canvas to direct student focus to propagation delay ($t_{pd}$) and square wave pulse transitions.
Digital electronics truth table, Full Adder logic circuit diagram, and built-in offline LaTeX formula editor with vector fonts.
Calibrated STEM formula modules, Cartesian axes, Pythagorean theorem, and calculus derivative rules ready for one-click board insertion.

🖊️ Precision Stylus & Digitizer Engine:
- Full support for XP-Pen Deco Mini 7, Deco Series, Wacom One / Intuos, Huion, and Windows Ink digitizers via
DirectManipulationStylus. - Continuous pressure sensitivity adapting stroke widths smoothly without lag.
- Hardware palm rejection ignoring unintentional multi-touch contact.
- Dual mouse and pen coordination preventing cursor lock or dropped strokes.
- Full support for XP-Pen Deco Mini 7, Deco Series, Wacom One / Intuos, Huion, and Windows Ink digitizers via
-
🖥️ Live Desktop Annotation & Area Snip:
- Compact floating toolbar to draw notes directly over external Windows applications.
- Area screen-snip tool to capture any desktop window or rectangular area and paste it directly onto the active canvas.
-
📺 True Fullscreen Presentation Mode:
- Seamless single-click full screen with synchronized window bounds and zero desktop flicker.
- Ergonomic bottom dock with quick flyouts for pens, colors, highlighters, erasers, and slides.
-
📐 Intelligent Geometric Recognition:
- Automatically identifies hand-drawn rough shapes (straight lines, triangles, polygons, circles, ellipses, rectangles) and converts them into crisp vector figures.
-
🧮 Mathematical & Scientific Typography (LaTeX / KaTeX):
- Built-in LaTeX editor rendering mathematical expressions locally with bundled vector fonts.
-
📑 Document Import & Export:
- PDF textbook and assignment import onto canvas pages.
- Multi-page lesson export to printable PDF, high-resolution PNG, or vector SVG.
- Versioned native editable lesson file format (
.sbl).

- Download
SmartNoteAI.Setup.0.1.0.exefrom the Releases page. - Double-click the downloaded executable to start the setup wizard.
- Select your installation folder and choose whether to create a Desktop shortcut.
- Click Install. Once finished, launch SmartNoteAI from the Start Menu or Desktop.
- Cause: SmartNoteAI is a newly released open-source project and is not yet signed with an expensive commercial Extended Validation (EV) certificate.
- Solution: Click "More info" on the blue SmartScreen popup, then click "Run anyway". The installer and code are completely open-source, and you can verify the SHA-256 checksum against the official release.
- Open your tablet driver software (XP-Pen Pentablet, Wacom Desktop Center, or Huion Tablet).
- Ensure that Windows Ink is checked/enabled in your tablet settings.
- If using dual monitors, verify the tablet screen mapping in your tablet control panel.
