Here is the story. I ve been using Objective-C for many years. I wrote my first iPhone app even before the App Store launched in 2008. In 2010, I took a risk, quit my boring Java/PHP job and started Lucky Clan, a one-person company. Over the years, I created many small and big apps, but my most popular product is Artstudio Pro, written in Objective-C.
Time flies, and now Objective-C is outdated, UIKit/AppKit are almost outdated, and OpenGL is outdated too. So, I had no choice but to start learning Swift and SwiftUI. I also wanted to find some fresh ideas to improve the UI in Artstudio. My favorite way to learn new tech is by making an app. So here is Notestudio - note-taking app designed mainly for iPad with Pencil, but working great on iPhone and Mac too (a full native Mac version, not just iPad-on-Mac). I treat it as a side project, but honestly, I really love how it looks and works.
Notestudio blends traditional handwriting with powerful digital tools, making note-taking feel natural and intuitive. With flexible paper styles, advanced drawing tools, and a smooth, customizable interface, it’s ideal for capturing and organizing ideas.
