Sticky Note templates
My idea would be to add sticky note templates, which are similar to normal page templates (ruled or squared for example). This would make it easier to use sticky notes in a wider range of use-cases. I for example use sticky notes for solving math questions without having to create a new page and stay on the same page. If there were an option to have squared sticky notes one could draw a diagram waaay easier or use a ruled template to write straighter.

[Timer] Add -1 Minute Button to Timer
The timer features are so great, the small size, the set modes and the +1 min button are great.
It's quite hard to decrease the amount of time however.
A -1 min button would make it do everything I need it to do to quickly set timers for my classes.

Add Auto-Snapback to Pen After Highlighting
Just how once you’re done erasing it goes right back to the pencil so I can write. I think this would also be useful if it did the same thing for highlighting. Every time I have to highlight and it doesn’t go back to the pencil I waste more time going back to erase what I highlighted on my page because i Though I was using the pen tool

Backup for Pen/highlight Colors
I recently had to delete and re-download the app because of a bug issue and lost all of my saved colors. It would be awesome if there is a way to save or back up pen and highlight colors so that you don’t have to reprogram them when re-downloading the app.

[Lock Objects] Add Lock Icon to the Primary Object Menu
Please include a lock function/icon in the primary image click hover menu.
And/or even more functionality to be able to “pin” tools nested in the ellipsis (overflow menu) to this primary hover menu permanently as specified by user.
This would save several inputs in order to lock elements, similar to how (once locked) the hover menu populates with a rapid unlock image icon.
Please & thanks.

Toolbar Default Pen Setting
"Currently, Goodnotes does not have a specific feature that automatically sets the toolbar to start on the Pen tool when switching between files. The Pen tool is the first tool in the Handwriting Toolbar and can be selected manually, but the app does not remember or default to the Pen tool automatically upon file switching," Goodnotes Support.
It would be great if a toolbar customization update allowed you to make the pen feature the default tool when switching between documents instead of the lasso.

Rotate draw and hold/more nuanced lasso tool
Hi GoodNotes team,
I use GoodNotes heavily for planning and note-taking, and I’ve noticed a frustrating inconsistency with shapes.
When I draw an oval using the Pen tool with “draw & hold” (auto-shape), it sometimes snaps into place at an angle. However, when I select it, there’s no rotate handle or rotate option—so I can’t straighten it without deleting and redrawing.
In contrast, an oval created with the Shape tool does include a rotate handle. This results in two shapes that look identical but behave very differently, which can be confusing during fast daily use.

Customizable Lasso Toolbar / Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Customizable Lasso Toolbar
When using the Lasso Tool, I would love the option to customize the toolbar that appears after selecting content. Specifically, it would be great if actions like Copy could be placed directly on the toolbar instead of being hidden behind the three-dot menu, allowing users to choose which tools appear there.
Move Duplicated Text to the Next Page
Currently, duplicated text can only be moved to the next page after it has been placed and selected again with the Lasso Tool. It would be much more efficient if duplicated text could be moved to the next page…

UI Fixes on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’m writing to share some UX feedback based on frequent, everyday use of GoodNotes on iPad. All of the points below stem from a common issue: tool discoverability and predictability, especially for power users who rely on muscle memory.
- Inconsistent context menu ordering When selecting content, the context menu (Copy, Paste, Duplicate, etc.) changes order depending on context. For example, “Copy” sometimes appears near the top and other times much lower in the list. Because these are high-frequency actions, the inconsistency makes the interface feel unpredictable and slows down routine workflows.
A fixed order—or ideally user-configurable ordering—would…

Non-Deletable Handwriting
I need a feature in GoodNotes that allows certain handwritten text to remain undeletable, even when I use the page delete function.
When I solve the same workbook multiple times, I mark whether I got each question right or wrong. The problem is that when I use the page delete function to clear my messy work and keep only those markings, the previous right/wrong marks get deleted as well, which is inconvenient.

Adding new node or handle to existing shape
When drawing shapes goodnotes creates nodes or handles to allow you to adjust the shape, however you cannot then add a new node/handle to the shape.
For example, if I draw a triangle, and then want to change it to a 4 sided shape, I have to delete the shape and redraw.
When drawing complex shapes, this is time consuming and frustrating.
Please can you add the option to add new nodes (or handles) to existing shapes?2 votes -

[Fountain Pen] Lock Nib Angle
When using the fountain pen with Apple Pencil rotation enabled, users must constantly re-adjust their grip to keep the nib horizontal. Locking rotation forces a fixed default angle that often looks unnatural for a fountain pen.
Please add the option to lock the nib at a user-defined angle, for example by letting the user set the angle with a slider so the pen hits the page the same way every time. See image for example. This would greatly improve writing flow, style and comfort.

Search tool in text documents
At the moment there is no search tool in text documents. I don’t understand this decision at all. Being able to search within a text document is absolutely crucial.

Small sticker option
When using stickers, I would like to make them small as they are then the right size if using them regularly, but the quality reduces so significantly this isn’t possible, and I have to resize them every time, which is time consuming, and the inconsistency in sizing is annoying. If there was a way to increase the quality it would be great.
