1. Personal Handwriting Model / Handwriting Cleanup

   I would love to see a feature that allows users to create a personalized handwriting profile that GoodNotes can use whenever AI edits, corrects, or improves handwritten notes.

   How it could work:

   1.Create a Personal Handwriting Profile
   - The user writes the full alphabet (uppercase and lowercase letters), numbers, and common symbols/punctuation marks in their neatest handwriting using a stylus.
   - GoodNotes saves these samples as the user's personal handwriting model.
   - This handwriting model becomes the reference style that AI uses for future handwriting improvements.

   2.Handwriting Cleanup
   - Users can write notes naturally, even if their handwriting becomes messy while taking notes quickly.
   - The user can then select, highlight, or circle a section of handwriting and choose a "Clean Up Handwriting" option.
   - AI rewrites the selected text using the user's saved handwriting style rather than a generic handwriting style or typed font.
   - The result remains personal and handwritten while being much easier to read.

   3.AI Spell Correction
   - When AI detects and corrects a misspelled handwritten word, the corrected word should be generated using the user's saved handwriting profile.
   - This would make corrected words blend seamlessly with the rest of the handwritten notes.
   - Currently, AI-generated corrections can look noticeably different from the user's actual handwriting.

   4.AI-Generated Content
   - If GoodNotes AI adds words, rewrites text, creates summaries, or makes other edits, the new content could be generated in the user's saved handwriting style.
   - This would keep notes visually consistent and maintain the feeling of genuine handwritten notes.

   Important Considerations
   * The handwriting profile should remain based on the user's intentional handwriting samples and should not continuously learn from everyday note-taking.
   * Many users (including myself) write neatly some of the time and (mostly) messily when writing quickly.
   * If the system continuously learned from all handwriting, it could gradually adopt the messy handwriting style instead of preserving the user's preferred neat handwriting style.

   Benefits
   * Preserves each user's unique handwriting style.
   * Makes messy notes easier to read without losing their personal appearance.
   * Creates more natural-looking AI corrections and edits.
   * Provides a better experience than converting handwriting to typed text or generic AI handwriting.

   I believe this feature would be especially valuable for students, professionals, and anyone who wants cleaner notes while still keeping the look and feel of their own handwriting.

2. Add a Lined Background to Imported PDF Slides

   One feature I would really love to see in Goodnotes is the ability to add a notebook-style background around imported and resized PDF slides, such as lined, grid, or dotted paper.

   This feature is already available in Notability, and it is one of the reasons why many students prefer using Notability for lecture notes.

   A common workflow for students is to first use another app or website to resize their lecture slides, then import the resized PDF into Notability. Notability allows them to place the slides on a notebook-style page with a lined background surrounding the slides, creating a clean space for handwritten notes, as shown in the attached example.

   Many students use this workflow because it allows them to keep the original lecture slides while turning the empty space around them into a useful note-taking area.

   I believe Goodnotes could implement and improve this feature by allowing users to:

   • Add a lined, grid, dotted, or custom background around imported PDF content.
   • Keep the original slides completely unchanged, without cropping or covering any content.
   • Automatically apply the background only to the available empty space around the slides.
   • Allow users to choose different layouts and backgrounds for better note-taking.

   This would be especially useful for students who study from lecture slides and want to combine their slides and handwritten notes in one organized page.

   Goodnotes is already an excellent note-taking app, and adding this feature would eliminate the need for students to use other apps just to create this type of lecture-note layout.

5. Layers

   Allow users to put comments on different layers. It would be helpful if these could be turned on/ off, or have their transparency % adjusted like in the Photoshop Touch application. Selecting annotations on one layer only or locking others would be useful as well.

   [Layers is in progress 🚧]

   Hello,

   We’re thrilled to say that we hear you—one of our most-requested features, Layers, is on its way!

   Layers is gradually rolling out to Goodnotes Pro users on iPad and Mac. This early version supports up to 5 layers in notebooks. Please note that it isn’t available during a Pro trial.

   
   

   Layers is currently experimental, so your feedback is especially important. Please share your experience to help us understand how—and whether—we should develop the feature further.
