Nebo is MyScript’s handwriting engine in a notebook. On iOS and Android the store name is now MyScript Notes. Windows still says Nebo. A seven-day trial covers the full set. After that a limited free version remains, or you pay. US listings show Full Access at $1.99 a month, $7.99 a year, and $24.99 lifetime, plus older Full version SKUs around $9.99 to $14.99. One licence covers up to ten devices. Prices checked 21 September 2026.
Conversion is the product. Messy lecture sketches, arrows, and two-column layouts convert badly. If you want a sketchbook that stays ink, Goodnotes or Notability will fight you less.

Feels like a converter, not a paper clone. Beautiful when your handwriting is neat. Frustrating in a fast lecture where you only want ink on a PDF.
