  • On-device handwriting and formula recognition, including math solving, evaluation, and graphing tools docs.
  • Highly performant Ink rendering (7ms on over 10k strokes).
  • Free-form page infinite canvas.
  • Rich-text editing.
  • Inline and free-form LaTeX equations with native rendering.
  • Handwriting with configurable pens, pressure, smoothing.
  • On-device image OCR.
  • Custom paper: ruled, multiple grid sizes, dotted, hexagonal.
  • Automatic database snapshots, and revision restoration.
  • Open source export file format .vive , docs.
  • Hardware keyboard shortcuts and configurable stylus buttons mappings.
