Meet Noteastic Pro!
Noteastic is growing up 🚀
We are so happy to finally present Noteastic Pro to you! We worked relentlessly the last months to grow Noteastic from a mere software project to a solid base for a software company.

And we are already starting strong. Two of the most requested feature additions to Noteastic are henceforth available through Pro: Text boxes and the laserpointer!
