# Penlog > An API-first handwritten journal for iPad. Write by hand with Apple Pencil; Penlog OCRs each page into structured, MCP-addressable data, so your handwritten tasks and notes are readable — and tasks writable — by AI agents and tools. Penlog is a single-journal handwriting app for iPad (iPadOS 18+). The user writes ink; AI agents read the OCR'd structure and can seed or update tasks alongside it — they never overwrite handwriting. Daily pages sync to Notion, and an MCP server lets any MCP-compatible agent (Claude, ChatGPT, or your own) work with what you wrote. ## Product - App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6765667652 - Pricing: https://penlog.app/pricing.
