Write is free (but not open-source) software. Prior to today I hadn’t even heard of it - so there’s a good chance you haven’t either! Stylus Labs’ Write isn’t a new app but it’s not merited much in the way of mentions online. And it is indeed a solid choice.īut I recently discovered a free Xournal alternative for Linux (as well as Windows, Mac and Android and iOS) and it’s specifically tailored for taking handwritten text. Xournal is considered the go-to app by touchscreen Linux users wanting to make handwritten notes on virtual paper using a stylus or a finder.

Linux isn’t short of traditional note taking apps, but tools for handwritten notes? Well, those are a little trickier to come by.
