Great mathematical thinking happens when you're in the zone - when the interface disappears and it's just you and your ideas. That's why we've completely reimagined how iwrote looks and feels, introducing dark mode, custom backgrounds, and intelligent AI assistance that adapts to your workflow.

Dark Mode: Easy on Your Eyes, Sharp on Details

Whether you're working late into the night on problem sets or prefer a darker aesthetic, our new dark mode transforms iwrote into a sleek, modern workspace that reduces eye strain while maintaining perfect readability.

Dark mode with lined background - perfect for late-night study sessions

Dark Mode Features:

• Carefully calibrated contrast for mathematical symbols
• Reduced blue light exposure for late-night study sessions
• Seamless switching between light and dark themes
• Optimized for both OLED and LCD displays

Every element has been thoughtfully designed to ensure your equations and handwriting remain crystal clear, whether you're in bright daylight or a dimly lit room.

Custom Backgrounds: Your Personal Academic Aesthetic

Transform your writing experience with custom backgrounds that match your style and improve your focus. Choose from our curated collection or import your own:

Available Background Styles

• Lined - Classic ruled lines for neat writing
• Dotted - Subtle dot grid for flexible layouts
• Graph - Square grid for precise diagrams
• Grid - Bold grid lines for technical drawings
• Plain - Clean, distraction-free canvas

PDF Import Feature

• Import any PDF as your background
• Write directly on homework assignments
• Annotate lecture slides and papers
• Export completed work with annotations

But here's where it gets really powerful: import any PDF as your background. Working through a problem set? Import the PDF and write your solutions directly on it. Reviewing lecture slides? Annotate them with your insights. The possibilities are endless.

PDF Backgrounds: Work Directly on Your Documents

One of our most requested features is now here - the ability to use any PDF as your canvas background. This opens up entirely new workflows:

Homework & Assignments

Import problem sets and write solutions directly on them. Here's the game-changer: iwrote can automatically generate a clean LaTeX document with both the questions and your handwritten answers properly typeset, saving hours of typing while providing professional-looking submissions.

Lecture Notes

Load lecture slides as backgrounds and add your own notes, explanations, and examples alongside the original content.

Research Papers

Import research papers and annotate them with your thoughts, corrections, or additional derivations.

AI Chat: Your Intelligent Study Companion

The new AI chat panel isn't just another chatbot - it's a context-aware assistant that understands what you're working on:

Document-aware responses - The AI can see and understand your current document, providing relevant help
Mathematical expertise - Get explanations of complex concepts, step-by-step solutions, and verification of your work
Writing assistance - From LaTeX syntax help to proofreading your mathematical writing
Study guidance - Ask for practice problems, explanations of errors, or alternative approaches

AI Chat in Action:

"Can you check if my integration by parts is correct?"

The AI reviews your handwritten work, identifies any errors, and provides step-by-step corrections while explaining the concepts.

A Seamless Experience Across All Modes

What makes these features truly special is how they work together. Your chosen background style persists across light and dark modes, maintaining your preferred writing surface. The AI assistant understands the context of your work, whether on plain canvas or annotated PDFs.

It's not just about individual features - it's about creating a cohesive environment where everything works in harmony to support your mathematical thinking and learning.

Designed for Focus, Built for Productivity

Every pixel, every interaction, every feature has been crafted with one goal: to help you focus on what matters - your work. Whether you're solving complex equations, taking lecture notes, or reviewing for exams, iwrote adapts to your needs and preferences.
