Saber
Saber is a handwritten notes app for Mac, iPhone, and iPad that helps you write, organize, and sync digital notes across devices.
What is Saber?
Saber is a productivity app for creating and organizing handwritten notes on Mac and other Apple devices. It is designed for people who prefer writing by hand with a stylus or touch input, including students, teachers, and anyone annotating documents or sketching ideas. The app lets you manage notes in nested folders, work with PDFs and images inside notes, and keep recent work easy to reach. Saber also supports syncing across devices, which is useful for moving between desktop and mobile study or work sessions. A notable feature is dark mode note inversion, which can make handwritten notes and imported material more comfortable to view in low light. Saber is published by Adil Hanney.

Safety overview
Status: Mostly safe
Saber is a legitimate note-taking app, and access to your files, imported documents, or cloud-synced notes is normal for its purpose. If you use sync features, your note data may be stored on a server you choose or on the app's hosted service, so treat it like any other cloud notes service and avoid storing sensitive material unless you are comfortable with that setup. Removing the app can leave your notes untouched only if they are already saved elsewhere or synced; locally stored notes may be lost if you delete the app and its data without exporting or backing them up first.
Recommendation: Keep Saber if you use it for handwritten notes, PDF markup, or synced study and work notes. If you no longer use it, export or back up any important notebooks before removing the app so you do not lose local note data.
