Journal is a notetaking app for Windows that provides an ink-first solution powered by artificial intelligence (AI). It allows users to capture their thoughts and create drawings using their digital pen on a page-based canvas. Journal also supports importing PDFs and annotating them with ink. Journal connects to Microsoft 365 and runs the AI on-device for privacy and performance.
AI enhances the journaling experience in several ways. It enables intuitive gestures such as underlining text to turn it into a heading, crossing out words to delete them, or circling content to select it. It also recognizes handwritten text and shapes and allows users to search and edit them. Additionally, the app provides smart ink cues that suggest actions based on the context, such as creating a task or sending an email.
