In this video, I’m sharing a FREE iPad note-taking app that genuinely surprised me: CollaNote. I can’t believe it’s free, has so many features, and it’s made by one guy—like… respect. If you’re a student who wants an iPad setup that feels functional but still aesthetic, this is the kind of app that can make your whole workflow feel lighter (and less expensive). I walk you through why CollaNote is worth trying if you’ve been looking for an alternative to paid note apps—especially for handwritten notes, journaling, and working with PDFs. I also mention a few extras that pair really nicely with iPad note-taking, like using a Paperlike screen protector if you want that more “paper” feeling when you write with Apple Pencil. And if you’re into customizing your study space, I link my June wallpapers and my other iPad videos so you can build a full setup that actually motivates you to study.
