Rocketbook is a smart reusable notebook that’s completely erasable when you wipe it with a dampened microfiber cloth, so you can use each page over and over again.
It offers the best of both physical and digital note-taking as it lets you take physical notes, quickly digitize them, and then erase the notebook when you’re done.
You can write in the Everlast notebook with the included FriXion pen, take a picture to scan the notes, and seamlessly send either a PDF or JPEG of your writing to a host of destinations (your email, messages, iCloud, Google Docs, Dropbox, and more). Then, once you’re done and want a fresh page, you take a wet cloth and wipe it down. Your notes come off, and you can start the process again.
To start using the Everlast, you download the iOS or Android Rocketbook app, and create an account. After creating your account, the entire process from writing to scan is really very simple. The camera on your smartphone opens through the Rocketbook app, and pressing “New Scan,” and will bring up a four green guide points, which you’ll center over your Everlast page. The scan happens automatically.
