The direction of spontaneous change

For an isolated system, a spontaneous process proceeds in the direction that increases total entropy.

ΔSuniverse = ΔSsystem + ΔSsurroundings > 0

The equality applies to a reversible process at equilibrium.

One continuous workspace

From the first slide to the final review.

OctoNote follows the order learning actually happens, without flattening everything into a chat thread.

01
READ

Keep the original and translation side by side.

Move through lecture PDFs naturally while translated paragraphs stay with their source. Search, bookmark, change reading modes, and save useful words.

  • Full-page bilingual translation
  • Region translation
  • Vocabulary collection
ORIGINAL

Entropy is a state function. Its change depends only on the initial and final states.

TRANSLATION

熵是状态函数。它的变化只取决于系统的初始状态和最终状态。

02
WRITE

Make the page yours.

Write directly on PDFs with a tactile pen tray, then add notes, text, photos, shapes, and new paper pages. Your annotations remain separate from the source PDF until export.

  • Apple Pencil handwriting
  • Movable pen tray
  • PDF export with annotations

03
LISTEN

Return to the moment a note was written.

Record while you write. OctoNote timestamps every stroke so a tap during review can jump back to the lecture audio that gave the note meaning.

  • Handwriting-linked audio
  • AI lecture summaries

Why does equilibrium make ΔS equal zero?

REMEMBER

Turn questions into material for review.

Questions can flow into a review notebook, vocabulary accumulates from translations, and smart outlines make long documents easier to revisit.

Questions, answered

Before OctoNote reaches your next lecture.

What is OctoNote?+

OctoNote is an AI study notebook for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. It combines PDF reading, handwriting, translation, lecture recording, contextual AI guidance, and review tools in one workspace.

How does Ask with a Slash work?+

Turn on AI mode, draw a diagonal line across the passage, formula, or handwriting you want help with, then ask. OctoNote sends the selected context to the tutor so you do not have to retype it.

Can OctoNote translate a full PDF page?+

Yes. OctoNote can present original and translated paragraphs together, cache translated pages, translate a selected region, and save useful words to your vocabulary list.

Does OctoNote connect handwriting to lecture audio?+

Yes. While recording, each handwritten stroke receives an audio timestamp. During review, tap a note to return to the moment it was written.

Where are my notes stored?+

Notes stay on your device unless you enable Cloud Sync. Synced files travel over HTTPS and are stored per account. Selected context is sent to an AI provider only when you use an AI feature.

How much does OctoNote cost?+

OctoNote is planned as a free download with a 14-day Pro trial. Current reference pricing is $8.99 monthly, $19.99 per three-month semester, or $69.99 yearly. Final local pricing is shown by the App Store.
