After years of iOS exclusivity, Notability is finally bringing its popular note-taking app to Android in April 2026. The company confirmed a beta testing program will launch next spring, giving Android users early access to an app that's been a staple on Apple platforms for over a decade. This move addresses a long-standing gap in Android's productivity ecosystem.

Notability's upcoming Android version won't be a simple iOS port. The company promises Android-specific features like lock screen note shortcuts, while maintaining the core functionality that's made it popular: audio recording synced to handwritten notes, shape recognition, and handwriting-to-text conversion. The app will support stylus, mouse, and keyboard input from day one.

Android users have long lacked a truly comprehensive note-taking solution. While apps like Google Keep and Samsung Notes offer basic functionality, they fall short for power users. Meanwhile, Notability has struck a balance between simplicity and robust features, making it ideal for students, professionals, and anyone who needs more than basic note-taking. The April 2026 launch represents a significant expansion for the app and a major win for Android productivity enthusiasts.
