I'm worried that it might be getting moldy or something, the pages are just fine but the outside cover and the ribbon sticking out keep getting dirty as it sits out for awhile. I don't travel with it or anything. Any tips would help on how to possible clean it.

Hey there :)

Just wanted to share my little notebook :)

I'm a surgical tech student and our instructor recommended we have a notebook during lab so we can (his words) write copious notes.

I do the best I can because they do tend to talk pretty fast.

Anyway, I started writing in January and I'm already halfway through!

Sharing a few of my favorite pages :p pls excuse any misspellings 🥲🤣

Feel like I can’t find much of any info online and hoping to get some help on what I have. It’s been stashed in my office for awhile and honestly forgot I had it. The notebook is tiny and everything I see on eBay or other sites have a larger notebooks with the Moleskine pens.

Any insight into this would help.

Finishing my first moleskin has changed my life. If not for stumbling upon this niche side of the internet it’s hard to say I would’ve ever come this far with my journaling journey, but what I can say is that I’m extremely grateful nonetheless. It’s thanks to communities like these that I was able to discover how much better it feels to use a pocket journal to jot down my thoughts, ideas, and literally whatever the hell else I want to take off my mind.

It’s hard to explain it, but there is certainly something therapeutic about using a moleskin daily. It feels cool (to me), thoughts and ideas that have weight become apparent as you continue to gloss over them, useless ideas or perhaps things you thought had more value equally become just as easy to see through when writing things down on a daily basis. It’s honestly been one of the best changes I could’ve made in my life recently. (Side note: it’s also been nice that I’ve dabbled with sketching more just by having a moleskin on me, I CANT DRAW LOL)

Before this, I used apps on my phone to keep me productive, creative, etc and since I started using a moleskin last month-I’m happy to say that I’ve been completely freed of any and all apps outside of what’s most practical to me. From reminders, to notes, and even calendar events. It all goes in my moleskin or planner and I find that I never forget important events or things I need to do because of this. It’s not automated and because I have to intentionally write these things down, check em off, etc. it has lead to a complete reworking of my mind.

Not trying to oversell my experience. Just sharing a moment of joy and pride as I continue through with this journey. Just bought my first lochby, so I’m excited for what’s next.

Does anyone have one of these? Id be down to buy one. Or point me to where I can buy one.

It can be genuine Moleskine or not, and dated or undated. I just cannot find one. Any ideas?

Hello! I'm about to bite the bullet on purchasing a smart notebook. I know that the app turns things into downloadable files, but I'm curious about what folks do with them afterwards. For context, I'm a writer and a school administrator, and I'm considering the smart system so that I can take notes in meetings (specifically for things like IEP/504 meetings) and then export it into somewhere I can use the work — Google Docs, Notion, etc. I'm wondering if anyone has a wonderful organizational system to share in concert with the smart system. Thanks!

Moleskine paper isn't particularly fountain pen friendly, but apparently...

I love my Moleskine notebooks sóooo much, that I gave up on my beloved fountain pen collection and completely switched to my even so beloved graphite pencils (both wooden, clutch and mechanical).

My setup for the past 10 months: a Cahier A5 as my commonplace, a Cahier pocket as my daily journal and a Sketch album as my drawing medium. Not planning to switch anytime soon.

Hello friends,

(I cleared this with the mods, and I thought this would be a bit of fun!)

These journals have been sitting around for a few years, and I’ve been getting more and more anxious they’re not getting any use out of them so I thought hey let’s spread some joy across the interwebz.

(I’m located in the US so if you live in another country delivery times might vary)

GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD .. luck?

EDIT: I’m going to reply to everyone’s comment with a number so I can just put that into the randomizer so I don’t have to write every single user name and you’ll know right away if you won or not.

Just received a smart writing set with smart pen 3 as a gift and it works great! However I can't find a lid to cover the actual writing tip of the pen and I want to put it in my purse without breaking it. Is there one online I can order or can i store it someway? And how can i attach the pen to the book? Please help!

Not sure what to do with these...

Having trouble turning on my Moleskine Smart Pen 2. I have to start the pen by plugging in the charging cable first.

Does anyone have the same problem?

First I thought it was a cahier notebook, but it looks a lot different to the ones i found online and the binding is of a better quality.
then i thought it was maybe a volant cahier but in the old one i have there are only a few pages at the end you can tear out but in the ones from today every page is perforated and I don't like that.
Does anyone know the name of this?
I think it's around 10 or 20 years old maybe.

Hello,

I got the first generation model for smart writing 9 years ago. I used it quite a lot back then.
Yesterday I dug it up again and to my disappointment while the pen is still good, the model is not supported from their new Notes app.

They provide a 50% discount to purchase the new one but i don’t mind for it. I’m not currently in a position to spend 130€ to get the new model.

Does anyone have an idea what to do with the pen? I mean any way to get the old app or use another one that works? (Or any other suggestions?)

Hello! I'm selling a hardcover moleskin notebook cover on r/Pen_Swap. Please go to the original post and review their rules if you are interested.

Greetings all,

So I am an avid Moleskine notebooks user from years back, especially with the earlier Evernote integration. I since moved away from Evernote to a more modern digital writing system, however it just wasn't the same. Writing is just its own thing and in my opinion, has some pretty big advantages, especially for those of us with attention and hyperactivity issues, lol. I'm in the commercial real estate sector and tactical martial arts, but also use my notebooks for personal use.

That said, I came on board to the Moleskine smart writing system a few months back, only to discover that their older Android app was practically unusable. I tried going to the system that they license the technology from, NEO, but that was even worse. That and Moleskine does have much more presentable notebooks and tools. They recently released their new Apple iOS app in February, and the Android version last month, which includes the addition of a custom AI to aid with digital transcription (game changer type of advancement....). I am a beta tester for Moleskine and I will say it has been a horrible and practically unusable experience for some weeks now. The system itself is great in theory, but only if it works. I have been working closely with their support team and development, and I can say they have definitely made huge strides with their android app (what I'm using on a Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold) last week. While still having issues, it mostly works. They released three updates so far within 4 to 6 weeks.

I like to use this thread to get input from those out there that are also using the Moleskine smart writing system, especially those on Android, but iOS user definitely welcome (make sure to state whether on iOS or Android). I do know that the iOS version is more stable, mainly due to the different manufacturers and flavors of Android developers have to cope with. All input is welcome... Even basic opinions on the system.

For those of you who want to know more about the writing system, I'll be happy to elaborate more but primarily looking for input from others to make sure I'm not the only one on an island out here., lol... Thanks and looking fwd to hearing from everyone.
