Hey, I am looking for a solution where I can use my ipad to take notes on my work pc. Due to a mandatory always on VPN solutions that use network to connect dont work, which leaves usb I guess.

I dont want to pay a subscription, but a one-off payment would be fine

How do you imagine this working differently to what you could do at icloud.com using the online Notes app?

I want to take work related notes and I dont think they would appreciate those notes beeing on the cloud

They also would not appreciate company documents being on your person device unless it's enrolled in MDM / MAM and using a Managed application. Any company's cybersecurity department with even basic security knowledge would lock down USB storage to prevent what you're trying to do.

I see what you are saying. I am just trying to use it as an input device like a drawing tablet, not save any documents on my device
