Fluently

For those who like to draw, using a keyboard to write things down can feel quite restrictive. Nothing really beats the classic pen and paper, except maybe a stylus and a drawing tablet.

Fluently is a nifty application that allows you to use your digital pen to write notes and keep your schedule in check. It provides you with a basic set of drawing tools, and you can export your notes and even share them with others.

This application isn’t too different from other calendar organizers, but the input method certainly sets it apart. Essentially, you can only enter notes using a pen or your fingers to draw on the canvas.

Your drawings are saved instantly, so you don’t have to worry about losing your notes. Once added, you can return to a certain date at any time to go through previous entries.

When drawing, you can use either a ballpoint pen or a pencil, and there are plenty of colors to choose from. The line width is customizable as well.

The highlighter is also likely to come in handy, as it enables you to mark important sections of text. There are several colors you can use, and you can also alter the highlighter’s size.

Lastly, you have the option of displaying a ruler or protractor on the canvas, which can prove helpful. You can change their width or orientation using the scroll wheel, and they will not be visible in the finished drawing.

All your drawings are saved automatically, and you can export any of them instantly as JPG image files. What’s more, you can easily share your notes using any installed program that supports this function.

Fluently is a relatively simple and well-designed application that can change the way you write down notes and organize your schedule. It offers a fairly limited set of features at present, but it can certainly get the job done.
