Save iPad Notes to OneNote
To save your iPad notes to OneNote, share the pages from GoodNotes, Notability, or any handwriting app to the Flowstate app. Flowstate transcribes the handwriting and saves each note as a page in the OneNote section you choose, usually within a couple of minutes.

Why OneNote can't do this on its own
OneNote can hold a PDF from your iPad, but it won't reliably convert imported handwriting to text, follow your shorthand, or file it into the right section — that's still a manual cleanup.
Share to Flowstate
- Use any handwriting app to take notes — GoodNotes, Notability, Apple Notes, saves, or wherever you write.
- Tap the share icon. Pick Flowstate.
- If you want, you can give Flowstate optional instructions for how to read your notes. For example, tell Flowstate how to interpret your shorthand, or how to turn handwritten symbols into formatting, tags, and more.
- Send it off!
Flowstate takes it from there
After you send in your note, Flowstate transcribes it, adds a title, and automatically saves it to the location you chose in OneNote. It usually takes just a couple minutes.
A copy of the original handwriting or audio file is also saved to OneNote and linked to from the note.
Common questions
Which handwriting apps work?
Any app that can share a PDF or an image. GoodNotes, Notability, Apple Notes — if it can share, it works.
Where do notes land in OneNote?
Each note becomes its own page in the notebook and section you choose, or gets appended to an existing page.
How much does it cost?
Flowstate runs on credits. One page of handwriting, or one minute of audio, is one credit. You start with 50 free credits, no card required, and top up whenever you're running low. Purchased credits never expire.
Does Flowstate rewrite my notes?
No. It transcribes what you wrote, cleans up the formatting, and files it where it belongs. Your words stay your words.
