"As a chemistry major, Penbook is an absolute lifesaver. Being able to switch from Cornell notes to hex paper for organic chemistry sketches in the same notebook is incredible. Plus, the ability to search my own handwriting for keywords during finals week is a total game-changer for my study sessions."

Sarah M., STEM Student
