why does it have to be one or the other? it sounds like magic, but seriously; attach anything digital to your pen and paper notes.

join the waitlist and we will send you an invite the day warq opens.
Any notebook, any pen. There is nothing to buy and nothing to stick in — a code is four letters you write in the margin yourself.
Everything works offline. Codes are made on your phone, not fetched from a server, and what you capture is saved on the device and syncs later, when there is signal.
No — and not merely "unlikely". Each device is given its own block of the code space to draw from, so two of your notes cannot collide even if they were made on different devices with no connection.
Only if you decide to share it. A notebook is private until you publish it, which mints a separate code you can hand out — and taking it back stops that code working.
There is a free tier to try it properly, and a paid one for more storage and voice recording. Pricing is not settled yet; the waiting list hears first.
I tried to switch to digital notes.
Everyone around me was doing it, so I did too. New app, everything moved across, a proper go at it. It just was not the same. A few weeks in I was back to the notebook, and I have stopped pretending otherwise.
My notebook never had that problem. It is always open on the right page, it never asks me what format I want, and writing by hand is the only way anything sticks. I remember what I wrote, and I remember roughly where on the page I wrote it.
But paper cannot hold everything. The photo of the whiteboard before it got wiped. The recording of the call. The file someone sent afterwards. All of it lives on my phone, nowhere near the page it belongs to.
So I went looking for something that would let me keep both, and everything I found wanted the notebook gone. A special pen. A tablet pretending to be paper. An app that photographs whole pages and turns my handwriting into text I never asked for.
I could not find it, so I built it.
Warq gives every attachment four letters. You write them once, in the margin, next to the line they belong to — that is the whole of what you have to do. When you want it back you hold your camera over the letters and it opens.
No special notebook. No special pen. The one already in your hand is fine.
