Arrowsheet

Copy the board as fast as it's drawn.

Arrow keys draw. Typing writes. Boxes hold whatever you put in them. A notepad for keeping up with a lecturer who never stops moving.

There is no toolbar to learn. Your hands stay on the arrows and the letters.

Arrows draw

The cursor sits on a grid and trails a line behind it. Hold a key to run. Lines stay square, so a fast key-roll never smears into a diagonal.

Typing writes

Start typing anywhere and a label appears at the cursor. Click any word later to fix it in place.

⌥Bor trace four sides

Boxes hold things

Draw a rectangle and it becomes a box. Text inside wraps to its edges and the box grows to fit. Move the box and everything in it comes along.

What a sheet holdsand the board didn't
  • Boxes that adaptText in a box owns its rows, border to border. Write in a corner, in the middle, anywhere. Blocks never overlap, and the box makes room.
  • Headings, colours, highlights, facesTitle through small text, bold, italic, underline, nine colours, nine highlights, and six typefaces from a clean sans to a script.
  • PicturesPaste a screenshot with ⌘V and it lands at the cursor. Paste inside a box and it fits the box. Copy it back out with ⌘C.
  • Arrowheads that turnTab drops an arrowhead pointing the way you last moved. Click it to turn it a quarter turn.
  • Folders for projectsOne folder per subject or term. Drag sheets in and out. A new sheet lands in the folder you are working in.
  • Whiteboard by day, chalkboard by nightFollows your system or pick one. Every colour on the sheet is chosen for both grounds.
