GoodNotes - Free for Apple School Manager schools

GoodNotes is a digital note-taking and PDF annotation app that lets students capture handwritten notes, markup documents, and collaborate in real-time on iPad and other Apple devices. The app includes features for handwriting capture, PDF annotation, real-time collaboration, audio recording with transcription, and whiteboard tools for visual teamwork.

Students at schools using Apple School Manager can access GoodNotes for free through their institution. This is an institution-managed benefit, meaning eligibility and access are controlled by your school's IT administrator rather than through individual student sign-ups. Schools that have enrolled in Apple School Manager can deploy GoodNotes at no cost to students as part of their digital learning toolkit.

GoodNotes is not available in all markets; availability varies by region. Individual students outside institution-managed deployments can start with a free trial, but ongoing access depends on the pricing plan selected for your account.
