Write by hand.
Keep it editable.
The Neo Smartpen R1 writes real ink on real paper — and hands you back text you can search, edit and paste anywhere.
You already think better on paper. The problem has always been what happens afterwards — the notebook goes in a drawer, and three weeks later you can't find the one page you need.
No keyboard required
Ink goes down on paper. The note appears on your screen at the same moment.
Four things paper could never do
Any time. Any device.
Connected, your handwriting syncs live. Not connected, R1 holds up to 20 A4 pages and pushes them across the moment you reconnect.
Change it after you've written it.
Lasso any letter or stroke, then change its colour, size or thickness. Copy, paste and rotate work exactly as you'd expect.
Handwriting becomes text. 35 languages.
Transcribe a note and paste it straight into an email or a document — no retyping. Or export the page as it is, in PNG, PDF or a web link.
Stop flipping through notebooks.
Every note you write with R1 is searchable. Type a keyword and it surfaces. Sort by notebook, subject or date.
Built like a proper pen
Matte black body, standard refills, nothing on the barrel that says "gadget".

Good to know
What is a pre-order, exactly?
You reserve a unit at pre-order pricing instead of the ₹25,000 MRP. We confirm your order by email and keep you updated at every stage.
Do I need special paper?
Yes — R1 reads a fine dot pattern printed on Neo notebooks. One is included with your pen, and more are available separately.
Does it work with normal refills?
It takes standard D1-type refills. Eighteen are verified for best accuracy, including Zebra 4C, Parker D1, Pilot BRF-8, Staedtler 92RE and Schmidt.
Which devices does it pair with?
iOS, Android, Windows and macOS, through the Neo Studio app over Bluetooth.
Can I use it without my phone?
Yes. R1 stores up to 20 A4 pages on the pen itself and syncs them the next time you connect.
How do I use a coupon code?
