Show HN: Snipscribe – a digital organizer for your pen and paper notes

https://snipscribe.com/
3•wisemonk314•2h ago
Hi HN,

I’m building Snipscribe, a desktop application (beta - demo version) for people who still prefer thinking on paper but want the benefits of digital organization.

The idea is simple: You take a photo of your handwritten notes, split them into small snippets, and tag them so you can retrieve them later by topic instead of scrolling through folders of images.

I've found pen and paper to be the most intuitive, distraction-free way to capture ideas, but the hardest part is finding them again and organizing for easy access. Snipscribe focuses on solving just that problem—without trying to replace your notebook.

What it does:

1. Capture photos of handwritten notes 2. Break them into small, focused snippets using a notation in your notes 3. Tag snippets for quick retrieval later

This is still early, and I’m especially interested in feedback from:

- People who regularly use notebooks or index cards - Developers, designers, or students who mix analog + digital workflows - Anyone who’s tried (and bounced off) digital note apps

Website: https://snipscribe.com

Happy to answer questions, and I’d really appreciate any candid feedback. Please let me know what feels useful, what’s missing, or what you’d simplify.

Thanks for reading :)
