About NOTE
Notability is Ginger Labs' note app for iPad, iPhone and Mac, where students write lecture notes and mark up PDFs with an Apple Pencil. Its .note file is a ZIP of the note's folder: the note itself in an Apple archive, with its strokes as curves in their colors and widths, its shapes, typed text, and the pictures and PDFs placed in it.
Supernote's e-ink tablets by Ratta, like the A5 X, the A6 X and the Manta, write each notebook as a .note of their own: every page's layers as pictures of what was written in the tablet's grays, the paper it was written on, from lines and grids to a picture of the owner's, and the words its handwriting was recognized as.
Filepeek draws every page in your browser into a PDF. Notability's ink comes out as vector lines, cut into pages as Notability exports them, over the PDFs it marks up. Supernote's pages show as the tablet shows them, with their recognized words unseen over the handwriting, so Search finds them and you can copy them.

Questions
How do I open a .note file without Notability?
Drop it on this page or choose Peek a NOTE. Its pages open in your browser with every stroke, highlight, shape and picture, and Export saves them as a PDF, PNG or JPEG.
Can I open Supernote notes on a computer?
Yes. Copy the .note from the tablet, Supernote Partner or Supernote Cloud and drop it here. Each page shows as the tablet draws it, on its paper, and the words its handwriting was read as can be searched.
Does it play the recording in my note?
No. Filepeek draws a Notability note's pages, and the audio it recorded stays inside the file. Notability itself plays it back with the notes.
How do I turn a .note into a PDF?
Choose Export, then Save as PDF. Each page is drawn into the PDF in your browser, Notability's strokes as lines that stay sharp at any zoom.
