At Viwoods, we don't believe in updates for the sake of novelty. We believe in meaningful progress that genuinely improves your experience. That's why every version we release is shaped by a simple but enduring mission: to support focused, distraction-free thinking through better writing, better reading, and better privacy. We're not here to flood you with features. Instead, we focus on enhancing the experience you already love, making it smoother, more intuitive, and more powerful.
This latest update is exactly that: an intentional collection of thoughtful upgrades built to stay out of your way while improving everything you do. Whether you're jotting down a quick idea, marking up a dense research PDF, or organizing your digital space without sacrificing control, you'll find that the new changes blend into your workflow. Let's take a closer look at how this release brings writing, reading, and personal data ownership into even tighter focus.
Writing, Elevated: Seamless Handwriting Where You Need It
Writing is where Viwoods shines, and this update takes that core experience to a whole new level. Whether you're sketching ideas, annotating PDFs, or scribbling mid-thought notes, every detail has been fine-tuned to feel faster, more fluid, and ready whenever inspiration strikes.
● Handwriting Now Works in More Places
Expanded Third-Party App Support
You asked, we delivered. Handwriting input now works seamlessly in Viwoods' native Sections as well as popular third-party tools like Xodo and Gboard. It means you can mark up documents, write in search bars, or handwrite text messages directly, without switching modes or losing that familiar, pen-on-paper fluidity.
● Picking Gets a Smarter, Faster Interface
A New Floating Button for Instant Access
No more diving into menus. A new shortcut toggle has been added to the dropdown panel, letting you activate Picking as a floating button that stays within reach, ideal for those spontaneous moments when you need to jot something down now.
Larger, Transparent Interface for Better Context
The updated Picking pop-up is now larger with a transparent background, letting you extract text or take notes while keeping other content in view. It's ideal for referencing documents, web pages, or schedules without losing focus.
Remembers Your Last Session
Jump right back into your last note without tapping around. Picking now reopens your most recent session by default, though if you want to switch or create a new one, that's just a tap away via the "..." menu.
Collapsible for Repeated Use
You can now collapse Picking into a floating icon for repeated use, perfect for those who rely on it throughout the day as a fast, lightweight capture tool.
● Pen Behavior That Feels Effortless
One Pen Setup Across All Sections
Your selected pen type and color now carry over across all sections of the Viwoods paper tablet, so you can draw, write, and annotate with complete consistency, whether you're in Paper, Meeting, Learning notes, or anywhere else. No need to reset your digital writing tools each time.
In short, writing with Viwoods flows more freely, responds faster, and feels smoother than ever before. These thoughtful improvements bring you precise control that fuels deep focus and sparks creativity exactly when inspiration strikes.
Reading, Rewritten: More Control, Less Clutter
Reading should be effortless: focused, fluid, and never disrupted by clunky tools or rigid formatting. With this update, Viwoods refines the digital reading experience in ways that make a real difference, especially for users who annotate heavily, jump between formats, or organize large reading libraries.
● Customize How You Read, Your Way
Image Scaling for a Cleaner Layout
Now you can freely adjust image proportions in EPUB, AZW, and AZW3 formats. Whether you're reading graphic-heavy documents or just prefer a tighter text-to-image ratio, the simple control makes layouts more digestible and easier on the eyes.
Hide or Show PDF Borders
A new toggle lets you show or hide border lines while reading PDFs. Want a cleaner, print-like aesthetic? Hide the lines. Need to define page edges or sections more distinctly? Turn them back on with a tap.
Smart Jump to Styled Content
When you adjust styles or formatting in EPUB or AZW files, the digital paper tablet automatically tracks your reading position. Once the changes take effect, it lets you jump instantly back to where you left off, saving you from scrolling through the document, particularly useful for longer reads where maintaining your place matters most.
● Annotations That Work for You
Export Highlighted PDFs for Review or Sharing
You can now export entire PDFs with your highlights preserved, making it easier to review important content later or share annotated documents with collaborators.
Rename Annotation Pages for Better Navigation
Personalize and organize your reading notes by renaming individual annotation pages. It's a small change with a big impact, especially when flipping through extensive research or multi-topic documents.
● Organize Without the Overhead
"Uncategorized" Tag for Faster Sorting
A new Uncategorized tag in the folder panel makes it easier to spot and organize untagged files, so nothing gets lost in the shuffle. It's a quick path to decluttering, especially when importing or batch-adding documents.
Unified Folder Creation Location
No more searching for the "create folder" icon. It's now consistently placed at the top across the Learning Section, streamlining how you build and manage your digital library.
With these updates, reading on Viwoods becomes less about managing the interface and more about absorbing the content. It's reading as it should be: focused, flexible, and free of friction, letting you engage deeply with what matters while staying effortlessly in control.
Your Ideas, Your Control: Smarter Privacy & Content Management
Privacy doesn't have to be loud to be powerful, and with Viwoods, it never needs to be complicated either. This update quietly strengthens your ability to store, export, and manage your data with more flexibility, more clarity, and zero pressure to upload content where you don't want it.
● Encrypted Notes, Exported with Confidence
Protect Sensitive Work with Encrypted Export
Your notes are protected as much in form as they are in essence. With this update, the "My Notes" module now supports exporting encrypted files. Whether you're using the Viwoods AiPaper to store sensitive content or organizing notes securely, this update makes it easier to archive or share your work while maintaining full privacy.
Local First, Cloud by Choice
Viwoods still doesn't force its own cloud service — and it never will. But for those who want options, this version adds support for Baidu Netdisk login, alongside easy sharing to third-party cloud apps. Whether you stay fully local or sync selectively, your data flows the way you decide.
● AI Tools That Respect Boundaries
Save What Matters with the AI Knowledge Base
The new AI Knowledge Base lets you save important content from conversations — summaries, ideas, insights — at the tap of a button. Everything you store can be categorized and organized, giving you a personal archive that's both intelligent and completely under your control.
● Freedom to Move Your Content, Your Way
Handwriting Is Now Globally Portable
That scribble you made in the Meeting? You can now select, copy, and paste handwritten content across Viwoods Sections. It makes your handwriting as reusable as typed text, giving you a frictionless way to build on thoughts wherever they begin.
Viwoods respects your privacy and ensures you maintain full control over your data. These tools don't confine you to any system or require you to rely on the cloud. Instead, they provide flexible ways to manage your creative life while keeping control firmly in your hands. Because when you own your ideas, you should own the space they live in, too.
Bonus: A Smarter Daily Flow
Sometimes it's the smallest changes that make your day feel smoother. And with this update, Viwoods brings quiet enhancements to scheduling and routine management that help you stay organized without adding noise.
● Integrated Calendars, Fewer Headaches
Sync Subscribed Events from Google & Outlook
Whether you're a Gmail loyalist or live inside Outlook, the Daily planner now supports event syncing from both platforms, so your subscribed calendars show up right where you need them. Fewer calendar swaps, fewer missed events, and more time to focus on what truly matters.
A Clearer View of Recurring Tasks
Recurring events are now marked with a loop icon, giving you a quick visual cue so you know what's repeating and what's one-off. It's a small but effective way to keep track of patterns, routines, and long-term projects without scanning through fine print.
Focused by Design: Subtle Refinements That Let You Stay in Flow
This update reflects Viwoods' quiet commitment to refining the core experiences that matter most: writing that flows as naturally as pen on paper, reading that feels clear and distraction-free, and content control that respects your boundaries. Every improvement — whether it's a collapsible Picking tool, encrypted note export, or a simple loop icon in your calendar — has been designed to do more by demanding less from you.
Viwoods continues to evolve with intention, not excess. The best digital tools should adapt to you, stay out of your way, and let your ideas take the spotlight. Ready to experience the latest version? It's already here, quietly making the Viwoods you trust even better.
