Sussex actor launches note-taking software for video calls
Aidan Whytock, a Sussex-based actor and entrepreneur, has launched new note-taking software for Microsoft Teams.
Sharpen Notes is a collaborative note-taking tool which has been launched as a Teams app. It allows attendees of a meeting to make and share notes in real time within the platform. When the meeting ends these notes are saved as a record which can be revisited or edited.
The actor, who starred in Homeland, was inspired to create the software while trying to record himself practicing lines for a TV series and making notes on key moments in the script at the same time.

Founder Aidan Whytock said: “My lightbulb moment came from my work as an actor, but I soon realised that Sharpen Notes could benefit anyone in this new world of hybrid working.
“Sharpen Notes is for everyone: whatever industry you’re in, or language you speak, it’s a practical solution to improve work life by ensuring that key points are not forgotten or missed when note-taking. Crucially, Sharpen Notes inspires teams to work more collaboratively and communicate in a more dynamic way throughout their video meetings.
“I’m thrilled that the Sharpen Notes app is now available in Microsoft Teams. We see Sharpen Notes as the note-taking tool of the future and can’t wait to hear what customers think of it.”
