About Strawfy
Messy notes in. Beautiful handwritten notes out.
Strawfy takes the notes, PDFs, scans and recordings students already have and rewrites them as clean handwritten notes: readable, editable, printable. Around that sit lecture notes, a library, and an assistant called Berry that has read every page. The point of having it all in one place is that one system finally knows your work well enough to help you learn it.
Why Strawfy
Study material is scattered. Attention pays the price.
A diagram is in the camera roll. The explanation is halfway through a recording. The definition is somewhere in a PDF. None of those sources is a problem on its own; the friction appears when a student has to rebuild the thread every few minutes.
Strawfy is designed around continuity. The material stays visible while the student moves from reading, to asking, to turning it into pages. The hard part should be the subject, not finding your place.
The assistant
Berry is the centre. The rest is what it works with.
Everything else on this page exists so that one assistant has something to reason about.
A student is not short of material. What they are short of is someone who has read all of it, can explain the part that does not make sense, and can turn a messy chapter into notes worth keeping. Almost nobody gets that person.
Berry is our attempt at that person. It reads the PDF, photos, text or lecture you bring in and writes it up as pages worth studying from. Ask it a question and it answers from that material, naming the page it found the answer on. Ask for a change and it makes it on the page, because an assistant that can only talk about your notes is a search box.
In class
Record the lecture, or paste its YouTube link later, and it comes back as clean notes or handwritten pages, part by part.
While you work
Notes and explanations sit with the source they came from, so you are never leaving the page to look something up.
When you stop
Everything stays in the project. Open it again from My Library and the pages come up in a study view, where nothing moves by accident.
- It has read your notes
- Berry answers from the notes, highlights and sources in your library, not from a general model of the subject. When your course says something a textbook would not, Berry goes with your course.
- It writes the pages
- Bring in a PDF, photos, pasted text or a lecture, and Berry writes the pages: everything kept and explained, your own words laid out, or a shorter take in its own words.
- It changes your pages
- Ask for shorter text, a diagram or a page written again, and Berry does it on the page itself. Put a picture of your own on a page and Berry marks its parts.
- It names the page
- Ask what your PDF says about something and Berry answers from the PDF itself, naming the page it found the answer on, so checking takes a moment.
What it works with
Six parts, each useful on its own.
You can ignore the assistant entirely and still have a complete study workspace.
01
Handwritten notes from anything
Notebook photos, scanned pages, PDFs, slides, lecture recordings and pasted links. Strawfy reads the material and rewrites it as neat handwritten notes, in a style you choose, with the source attached.
02
An explanation on every section
Not just a summary. Each part of the notes can be expanded into a worked explanation, written against the material it came from.
03
Lecture notes
A YouTube lecture, pasted text or a recording from class becomes clean notes, a few minutes at a time, and handwritten pages when you want them.
04
A library that stays organised
Each project keeps its pages with the material they came from. My Library sorts projects into folders, and pages can move from one project to another.
05
Papers and templates
Dozens of papers, from squared and lined to Cornell, or Berry's own style in a colour family you pick. Every word can be edited, and stickers added.
06
Clean typed notes too
Every set of notes also exists as a clean, editable document with Berry beside it, for the days you want to search and copy rather than read.
How we work
Three things we hold to, written down so you can hold us to them.
Your work is yours
Notes, sources and highlights belong to your account. Download everything we hold from your settings, or delete the account entirely, whenever you decide to.
We do not sell your data
No selling personal data, no sharing it with advertisers, and no training AI models on the work you do here.
We say when we are unsure
AI output is labelled as AI output. Handwriting recognition and generated notes can be wrong, so we keep the source one tap away and ask you to check anything that matters.
What we collect and why is set out in the Privacy Notice. How the AI features work, including where they can be wrong, is in the AI Policy.
Get in touch
Found something wrong? Tell us and we will fix it.
A note that came out wrong, an explanation that misses the point, or anything you think the product is getting wrong reaches a person who can change it. We read all of it.
