Handwriting & Apple Pencil support that fits structured note systems
Users who rely on handwriting want the convenience and expressive power of Apple Pencil + infinite canvas plus the structure and searchability of a PKM. Current solutions are split: OneNote offers handwriting and canvas but has issues; others use MyScript/GoodNotes + export to a structured system. There's clear demand for a seamless handwriting→structured PKM pipeline.

“I never found a perfect Notion clone that fully embraces Apple Pencil, but a mix worked better for me. Apple Notes is surprisingly solid now with tags and smart folders, and handwriting feels native. For more structure, Craft feels closer to a Notion style workspace”
