Some people have gone completely digital, using different productivity apps to take class notes, jot down to-dos or sketch their own designs. Others are still sticking to what works a.k.a. pen and paper. Smart notebooks are a clever way to bridge the gap between the two. They let you write on paper with an actual pen (or at the very least, have a familiar feel), send everything off to an app on your smartphone or computer, and then wipe the pages clean. That means, if you pick the right smart notebook (don't worry, we've got you covered), you can use the same one over and over again, saving you money and reducing paper waste.

Not all smart notebooks are created equal, which is exactly why we turned to the experts at the Good Housekeeping Institute and trusted Amazon shoppers to gather an assortment of picks to fit all of your needs, whether you're concerned about the page size, app and device compatibility or ease of use (or all three). You'll notice two different kinds of smart notebooks on this list: Most of them prompt you to take a picture of the page to transfer them to apps or cloud services, but a select few come with a smart pen that automatically captures whatever you're working on and displays it on the screen.

Now, shop the best smart notebooks to buy in 2021:

Best Overall Smart Notebook

Core Smart Reusable Notebook

Rocketbook amazon.com

$34.00

The 14,000+ glowing Amazon reviews say it all: This 32-page lined notebook comes with a Pilot Frixion pen and microfiber cloth, so you can wipe away your notes or doodles and start anew. After jotting down your notes, let the ink settle for about 15 minutes for it to bond to the notebook's pages. Then sign into the Rocketbook app on your iOS or Android device to send your notes to cloud services, like Google Drive, Dropbox, Slack and iCloud. 

• Easy enough for beginners
• Lined pages in letter or executive-size notebooks

Great for First-Timers

Smart Notebook

HOMESTEC amazon.com

$16.98

This notebook is suited for every kind of notetaker. Inside, you'll find seven planning pages, 21 lined pages and 20 dotted pages, all of which can be transferred to Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote Box, OneNote, iCloud and email by using the compatible CamScanner app. Use the two erasable pens that come with the notebook and wipe away your sketches, notes or mindless doodles with the pen tips.

• Budget-friendly pick
• Also available with grid pages

Easy for Kids to Use

Blackboard

Boogie Board amazon.com

$34.99

$21.50 (39% off)

This isn't a notebook per se, but the notepad display lets you write on four different gridlines: lined, dot grid, planner and a smaller dot grid. Since you only have one page to work with, it's not as practical for school or work, making it better for kids than adults. Capture, search and share your work by scanning your screen on the Blackboard app, available for iOS and Android. When you want to start fresh, click the clear button to erase everything or turn on exact-erase to erase like a pencil.

Affordable Option for Illustrators

One by Wacom Drawing Tablet

Wacom amazon.com

$59.95

Made with illustrators and designers in mind, this drawing tablet lets you draw, edit photos and jot down ideas for future masterpieces. It's compatible with Chromebook, so you just need to connect the devices with a USB cable to see your small sketches on the big screen. If you're using an older Mac or PC model, then you may need to download and install a driver to get access to your work. FYI: You won't see your work on the tablet itself, which is why it must be used in conjunction with one of the compatible devices. 

• Get 3 months of Clip Studio Paint Pro with purchase
• Super accurate electro-magnetic pen

Smart Organization System

Fusion Smart Notebook

Rocketbook amazon.com

$35.00

Get the same key features of the Rocketbook Core — the ability to fill pages, send them off to any cloud service and wipe them clean with a damp cloth — along with some added organization to help you stay productive. Throughout the notebook, you'll find a task list page, two weekly planner pages and a monthly calendar, which means this smart notebook can also double as your planner.

• Additional productivity and planning pages
• Comes with erasable pen and microfiber cloth

6

Keep Your Paper Notes

Smart Writing Set Ellipse

Moleskine amazon.com

$149.00

Unlike every other smart notebook on this list, the Moleskine Smart Writing Set Ellipse gives you the best of both worlds, allowing you to digitize your notes on the Moleskine app while still holding on to your paper version. It's more about the pen than the notebook itself: The smart pen has a camera built into the tip that records your pen strokes. You can even talk into the pen's microphone to record audio, which can later be saved as a PDF and uploaded to Google or Evernote. 

• Perfect if you're new to digital note taking
• Everything auto-populates in the app as you write

7

Small Enough for Most Pockets

Everlast Mini Smart Notebook

Rocketbook amazon.com

$15.45

Take this small notebook with you when you're on the go to jot down anything important that comes to mind. It's only 3.5" x 5.5", but it comes with 48 pages for you fill, send to the cloud and wipe clean. Just like the other Rocketbooks, this one comes with a Pilot Frixion pen and microfiber cloth.

• Ideal for everyday carrying
• Works with most cloud services

8

If You Want Something Larger

Wave Smart Notebook

Rocketbook amazon.com

$27.00

$20.99 (22% off)

On the opposite end of the spectrum, this Rocketbook has larger pages (8.5" x 9.5"), making it the top choice for students or  notetakers who like to see everything on one page. It's different from other Rocketbooks, though: Instead of clearing each page with a cloth, wait until the entire notebook is full and then stick it in the microwave (yes, you heard that right) to make it brand-new again. 

• Cool microwave-to-reuse technology
• 80 pages to fill
