Moleskine Smart Writing Set Smart Notebook & New Smart Pen (2022)

In this review the Moleskine Smart Writing Set Smart Notebook & New Smart Pen (2022) is evaluated for people who want the tactile feel of pen on paper but need a reliable digital copy. The set delivers a familiar Moleskine notebook experience while using N-Code technology to capture each stroke and transfer it to the companion app, making it a good choice for students, professionals, and creatives who value organized, searchable notes. The single biggest reason to buy is the seamless paper-to-screen workflow that preserves handwriting while enabling edits, exports, and cloud backups.

Key Features

• Redesigned Smart Pen: captures every stroke and stores a digital copy so handwriting is preserved and available for editing.
• N-coded Paper Notebook: the Smart Notebook pages work with the pen to register position, enabling accurate digital replication of notes and drawings.
• Companion App Compatibility: the Moleskine Notes app transfers content to iOS and Android devices where notes can be transcribed, organized, and searched.
• Multimedia Export Options: notes and sketches can be shared as images, PDFs, or exported directly to Microsoft Word and PowerPoint for easy reuse.
• Cloud Backup Options: you can back up content to Google Drive or Microsoft OneDrive to protect and sync your digital notes.
• Included Accessories: the set ships with a magnetic USB recharging cable and an extra pen tip ink refill for continued use out of the box.

Who It's For

The Moleskine Smart Writing Set fits people who prefer handwriting but need digital access: note-takers, meeting participants, designers sketching ideas, and students who want an editable archive. Its strength is bridging analog and digital workflows with a familiar notebook form factor and an app that exports to common productivity tools.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need an entirely paperless tablet experience or who require flawless plug-and-play setup without any learning curve; some users report a tricky initial setup and occasional charging issues after extended use, so highly technical workflows that demand 100% uptime may prefer other digital-pen systems.
