Product
1. Which notebooks are compatible with Neo Smartpen?
Neo Smartpen works only with paper printed with the Ncode pattern (such as NeoLAB’s official notebooks, planners, and idea pads). It cannot be used on regular paper or non-Ncode notebooks.
2. I cannot connect my pen to the app. What should I do?
Turn on the pen, select it from your Bluetooth settings, and connect it through the Neo Studio app.
If it still doesn’t connect, try resetting the pen, updating the app to the latest version, and reconnecting.
3. My handwriting does not appear in the app, or only part of it shows.
Check and update both the pen firmware and the app.
Use the “Sync” function in the app to import saved handwriting.
If parts are missing, it may be due to pressure sensitivity or calibration issues—adjust them in the settings.
4. Can I automatically sync with Google Drive, OneNote, or other cloud services?
Neo Studio supports exporting notes in PDF, PNG, and TXT formats and sharing them to Google Drive, OneNote, Evernote, and more.
However, real-time automatic syncing is supported only for some services.
5. What file formats are supported?
Handwritten notes can be exported in PDF, PNG, or TXT formats. Handwriting can also be converted into text and saved/shared in supported formats.
6. Does Neo Smartpen support calendar integration?
Yes. When used with the N Planner, it can be linked to Google Calendar.
Please note that availability may vary depending on N Planner supply.
7. My pen only works while charging. Why is that?
This may be caused by a battery defect or firmware issue.
First, try updating the firmware.
If the problem persists, please contact our support team for repair or replacement.
8. Can I use one Neo Smartpen across multiple notebooks at the same time?
Yes. Each notebook has its own unique Ncode pattern, so even if you use a single pen across multiple notebooks, the notes will not overlap and will be stored separately in the app.
9. Where can I find the user manual or support guide?
You can download the latest user manual (PDF) from the NeoLAB official website or through the [Support] menu in the Neo Studio app.
Discontinued Products
1. Can I still use the N2 and M1 models?
Yes, both models can still be used with the Neo Studio app. However, since they are discontinued, their warranty period has expired, and there may be limitations in functionality updates or repair services.
2. Can I still purchase consumables (refills, notebooks) for N2 and M1?
Yes, ink refills and Ncode notebooks are still available. However, availability may vary depending on stock levels and region.
3. Can the N2 and M1 models still be repaired?
Since these models are discontinued and out of warranty, repair support is limited. Please contact our support team for case-by-case confirmation.
4. Is there any compensation or upgrade program for users of discontinued products?
Yes. For N2 and M1 users, we are offering an upgrade program that allows you to purchase the latest model at 60% of the regular price.
Eligible Products: N2 and M1
Benefit: Purchase the latest Neo Smartpen at 60% of regular price
Availability: Until December 31, 2025 only
5. What about the RECO device?
The RECO product has also been discontinued. It can still be used only for its voice recording function. However, since the Pen Manager app is no longer supported, RECO is not compatible with that app.
For the best experience, we recommend using RECO together with a Neo Smartpen.
Discontinued Apps/Services
1. The app I used before (Neo Notes, Neo Studio2022, One Note, etc.) is no longer supported. What should I do?
Currently, you can share to the previous apps(Neo Notes, Neo Studio2022, One Note, etc.) through the Neo Studio 2 app., which provides improved stability and new features. Please download Neo Studio 2 from the App Store or Google Play to continue using your pen.
2. Can I migrate my notes from older apps to Neo Studio 2?
Yes, most notes can be transferred to Neo Studio 2. Please refer to the User Guide or the Naver Smartpen Store (Korea) for detailed instructions, or contact our support team for assistance.
3. Is the discontinued app (e.g., Pen Manager) still supported?
No. The Pen Manager service is no longer supported. Device management and settings are now handled through Neo Studio 2. Please use Neo Studio 2 or our official support channels for assistance.
4. Will discontinued apps receive future updates?
No, discontinued apps will not receive updates. For the latest features, security, and device compatibility, we strongly recommend using Neo Studio 2.
