Hi there! I understand you're having trouble writing in the Freenotes app on your Macintosh with OS X 10.15.7. To get started, could you share a bit more? For example, are you trying to type text using the keyboard, or are you attempting to write with an Apple Pencil or other stylus? Also, is the app not responding when you try to write, or is something else happening?

This information will help me guide you better!

Can’t write with stylus

Thanks for letting me know you’re trying to write with a stylus in the Freenotes app but it’s not working on your Mac with OS X 10.15.7. A quick question before we dive in: Are you using an Apple Pencil or a different stylus model? Also, is the app not responding to your strokes at all, or do you see any lag, dragging, or other irregular behavior?

In the meantime, here are some steps you can follow to troubleshoot stylus writing issues in Freenotes:

1. Check Stylus Compatibility and Settings:
- Make sure your stylus is compatible with your Mac and the Freenotes app. Apple Pencil, for example, typically works only with iPads, so if you’re on a Mac, your stylus might be a different brand that requires specific drivers or settings.
- If your stylus has settings (like Bluetooth connection or pen input toggles), verify it's properly connected and configured.

2. Enable Scribble Feature (if using Apple Pencil or supported stylus):
On Apple devices with iPadOS or newer macOS versions, the Scribble feature allows handwriting input converted to text. While your OS X 10.15.7 is a bit older, double-check for any stylus or handwriting settings within the Freenotes app's preferences. If you see any setting to “Turn on Scribble” or handwriting input, enable it.

3. Update the Freenotes App:
Ensure you are using the latest version of Freenotes compatible with your OS to avoid bugs affecting handwriting inputs. If you downloaded it from the Mac App Store, check for updates there.

4. Try a Different Input Mode:
Since Freenotes supports text tool and handwriting tool separately, test switching to the text tool to confirm if typing works, then switch back to handwriting to see if that reactivates the drawing capability.

5. Restart the App and Device:
Sometimes a simple restart of the app or even your Mac can reset input drivers and resolve temporary glitches.

6. Check for Handwriting Correction or Pen Settings:
Some users report that Freenotes has handwriting correction features that can interfere with stylus input. Look in the app settings for options like handwriting correction or smoothing and try toggling them off to see if handwriting improves1.

If none of these steps help, please let me know which model stylus you're using and exactly what happens when you try to write (e.g., no ink appearing, lag, dots, etc.), so I can assist you further. Are you satisfied with these initial steps?
