Notability for Business (MDM)

Overview

Notability for Business is a service tier designed for businesses that want to deploy Notability to managed devices. It integrates seamlessly with mobile device managers (MDMs) like Intune and Jamf.

Getting Started

Device administrators can register here to get started.

Features Included

Notability for Business offers:

  • Unlimited note edits

  • Auto-Backup support

  • Data flow restrictions to contain notes within your environment

  • Configurable features by device administrators

Note: Audio Transcription and Learn are not included.

Deployment Process

After registering and receiving approval (usually within 72 hours on business days), you will access an admin panel to get your License Key. This key must be distributed to users' devices for access.

If you haven't received approval within 72 hours, contact us at businesssupport@gingerlabs.com.

Configuration

Admins can use MDM to configure Notability settings remotely.

Data Privacy

Visit our Trust Center.

Notability stores all notes on the user's device by default. Users can sync notes to iCloud or back up to services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and Box. Our team has no access to users' notes. For local storage, Notability uses standard device encryption. For cloud services, the app uses the service's standard transfer and storage methods.

We use Firebase and Mixpanel for anonymous analytics to improve Notability. No user-created content is tracked. For more information, see our privacy policy.

If you have an agreement or questionnaire that needs to be reviewed, please contact businesssupport@gingerlabs.com.

FAQ

Have a different preferred payment method?

Contact businesssupport@gingerlabs.com for additional options.

How many licenses should I request?


Request enough to cover all managed devices requiring Notability. Licensing is per device.

How do I know if the License Key is working?


Your admin panel's active license count increases when a device launches Notability for the first time and consumes the License Key from your MDM.

How do I add or remove licenses?


Contact businesssupport@gingerlabs.com to adjust your license count or use the steps at the bottom of our Billing Guide.
