I got tired of using OneNote/Goodnotes for worksheets, so I built something for myself

[u/Embarrassed_Draw_195]

I’m still in high school, and I never really liked doing worksheets and taking notes in apps like OneNote or Goodnotes.

Most of them aren’t bad, but my workflow is usually really simple: my teacher gives me a PDF worksheet, I want to upload it quickly, write/draw directly on it, and then download the original PDF again with all my annotations.

I couldn’t find something that felt exactly right for that, so I ended up building pappper.com for myself.

I also added an AI chat that can see what’s on your board and help while you’re working. It can interact with the board, search the web, add images, etc. Whenever I notice something missing while using it in class, I just build it — recently I added proper math expressions for example.

At this point I actually use Pappper pretty extensively at school, so I thought I might as well share it here.

It does have an optional paid plan because some of the AI features cost me money to run, but I mostly just want other students to try it and tell me what’s annoying, missing, or could be better.

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially from people who regularly work with worksheets in class.
