Top features
The Rocketbook Core is a reusable smart notebook with premium synthetic paper designed for repeated write-erase cycles. It requires Pilot FriXion pens (included), which erase cleanly when wiped with a damp cloth—no microwave needed. The companion Rocketbook app scans handwritten pages and syncs to major cloud destinations including Google Drive, Dropbox, OneNote, Microsoft Teams, iCloud, email, and others, with optional OCR and handwriting search (premium tier). This Letter-size edition (8.5×11 inches) features college-ruled pages with Smart Titles and Smart Tags for automatic file naming and organization. The notebook ships with ~36 reusable pages, a spiral binding, and an improved scratch-resistant cover. Designed for students, professionals, and creatives who want to digitize handwritten notes while reducing paper waste. Community feedback is positive but notes occasional ink smudging before full drying and a learning curve with the app's scanning feature.
