AG NoteCanvas

AG NoteCanvas is the note page inside every AspirantGoal study session. It holds text, photos, PDFs and voice. You highlight a line with the pen, record an audio pin on that spot to say why it matters, and send the whole note to a friend as one .agsz file.

What goes in a note

Every session has its own canvas. One note can hold four kinds of content together.

  • Text. Type it, with bold, underline, strikethrough, lists and text colour.
  • Voice. Record a voice note and it sits in the text as a line with a play button.
  • Photos. Take one with the camera or add one from your phone. It opens as a photo note you can mark with the pen.
  • PDFs. A PDF opens page by page. The note shows how many pages and audio pins it holds.

Highlight a line, then say why

Open a photo or a PDF page in the pen tool and highlight a line in yellow, green, blue or pink. Thickness runs from 1 to 6, and the eraser, undo and redo are there when a mark goes wrong.

Then record an audio pin on that spot. A highlight shows what you marked. The pin keeps your voice saying why it matters, for the day you come back to the page and cannot remember. Pins can be moved, and each photo and PDF shows how many pins it holds.

How to make a note with an audio pin

  1. Open the note for a study session.
  2. Type, or record a voice note.
  3. Add a photo or a PDF.
  4. Open it in the pen tool, pick a colour and highlight the line.
  5. Record an audio pin on the highlight.
  6. Leave it. The note saves itself, and you can press Save too.
  7. To send it, export the note as an .agsz file and share the file.

Limits to know

PDFs can be up to 100MB on Pro, or 50MB each with a Coin Pass.

A shared note is made to be opened in AspirantGoal, where the marks and pins play back.

Your notes stay on your phone unless you choose an encrypted backup to your own Google Drive.

The note drawn on the home page is an illustration. Its words, timings and sizes are made up to show the idea. Details on this page were checked in the app on 23 October 2026.

Questions about this feature

What is an .agsz file?

It is one note with its photos, PDFs, highlights and audio pins inside. The name stands for AG Study Zone. The person who opens it in AspirantGoal sees every mark and hears the pin recorded on it.

Is NoteCanvas free?

Yes. It is part of the free app. Pro raises the media limits, for example PDFs up to 100MB, and a Coin Pass allows PDFs of up to 50MB each.

Where are my notes stored?

On your phone. A backup is optional, goes to your own Google Drive and is encrypted. We do not see your notes, and coin verification never includes note content.

Can I highlight a PDF?

Yes. A PDF opens page by page in the same pen tool as a photo, so you can highlight a line and record an audio pin on it. The note shows how many pages and audio pins the PDF holds.
