Full support for keyboard navigation using Tab and Shift+Tab on MacOS
I use keyboard shortcuts quite extensively and would like to see some better support on keyboard navigation, especially in the documents view. So opening, renaming, etc. files can be done without a mouse/trackpad. Maybe implement a toggle for this option, so regular users are not affected by default.

Easier Text Coloring in Txt-Doc.
In a Txt-Doc there should be more tools in the toolbar for important actions like setting the background color of selected Text to a color by just clicking on the color symbol.

Turn off iPad screen when on Goodnotes
When I leave my iPad on Goodnotes it never closes by itself despite my iPad being on the 2 minute shut off time. On every other app it shuts down by itself but Goodnotes. Can we implement something that hinders this? It wastes a lot of battery

margins
Please make the templates editable. For example I like a margin but I find it's too wide. I'd like the templates to be editable such that you can have a smaller or larger margin as needed.

Left Sidebar and Global Bookmark system
I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on a 13″ iPad with a Pencil-first workflow, and I keep running into two related navigation issues:
1. The left sidebar is fixed and cannot host pinned content.On large iPads, this leaves valuable space unused and forces users to rely on Favorites for navigation.
2. There is no true global bookmark system.Because page bookmarks and navigation shortcuts both appear in Favorites, Favorites becomes cluttered and difficult to use for either purpose.
These two issues reinforce each other: since the sidebar can’t hold pinned folders or notebooks, Favorites is forced to do double duty.

Bring back the old pen
I really miss the consistent style of the pen before the most recent update, the new pen is thicker and thinner in different places and its honestly unusable for me. I also miss the feature that you guys had a little while ago with the magnified writing box, it really helped with writing long sentences and streamlining note taking :)

Text Box Issues
When I use the text box, the line height keeps changing. I have to and adjust the line height for each sentence, despite having a set default. I also hate how it goes to Lasso all the time, I never use Lasso. I miss Goodnotes 6 as it was easier to use for someone who struggles with technology.

Flashcard Improvement Suggestion
Enable the full toolbar on flashcards
Allow users to use the same tools as on regular pages: highlighting in color, underlining, bold text, and free writing/drawing. This would make it much easier to emphasize important content and quickly add notes or markings.Support combined text and images on a single flashcard
Make it possible to place both images and text together on one flashcard for better visual learning and more flexible study methods.Detect and indicate duplicate flashcards:
Show a clear warning or indicator when a flashcard is created twice, to avoid unnecessary duplicates and keep decks organized.

Change the text box when you say it in a good way
This update is seriously frustrating.
Why does the tool automatically switch to the lasso tool after using a text box?
The previous version was much smoother and easier to use — now it just feels unnecessarily inconvenient and irritating.
It honestly looks like this change was made without any real consideration for users.And if you’re not even reading App Store reviews but just telling people to “send feedback,”
it really makes us wonder if you actually care about what users are saying.2 votes -
rotate and resize text with two fingers
When I am using the lasso tool I would like to rotate the handwritten text with my fingers or pencil and resize it as well but it seems very restricted at the moment. When I use two fingers it duplicates which there is no need for as there is a copy and paste function and the only way to rotate is the box icon which is very restricted and not free as in like free motion.

Import PDF as a study set
There are multiple ways of doing this:
(A) Chop each page in half: top half becomes the ‘image’ for question, bottom half becomes the ‘image’ for answer.
(B) Two pages per flashcard, one for question and one for answer (maybe do this if pdf is in landscape mode).This would be immensely helpful as currently you can only import text, which is an issue if your flash cards have diagrams or render LaTeX.

Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Request to Add a Feature for Converting Regular Documents into Text Documents
Currently, there is a feature that allows regular documents to be converted into whiteboard documents, but there is no option to convert them into text documents. I believe it would be very helpful to add a feature that allows regular documents to be converted directly into text documents.
For example, when working with scanned documents, some characters are not always correctly recognized by OCR. In such cases, it becomes difficult to search the content or effectively use AI features. If users could convert a regular document into a…

Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
Request to Increase Page Limit When Converting Regular Documents to Whiteboard
When converting a regular document to a whiteboard, the page limit is currently restricted to about 20–25 pages. However, these days many lecture materials exceed 100 pages, and in some cases—especially for law-related subjects—they can easily go beyond 300 pages. I strongly suggest increasing this page limit.
In addition, when a document is converted to a whiteboard, the content is currently transferred only as images. It would be much more useful if text recognition (OCR) were also applied during the conversion process, allowing the text to be selectable and…

Cartesian co-ordinate system tool
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I am a dedicated user of your app, and I love how it has transformed my note-taking. I have a feature suggestion that I believe would be immensely valuable for students and professionals in mathematics, science, and engineering: the addition of a built-in Cartesian Coordinate System tool.
The Suggestion
Currently, users must manually draw or import graph paper to create graphs. My suggestion is to implement a feature that allows users to instantly generate a customizable Cartesian coordinate plane on any page, similar to how the Shape Tool works.
Key Customization Options
This tool would be most…1 vote -
Goodnotes 6 Beta: Writing/Typing functionality in Notebooks (like Word), not just in the new "Text Documents"
In the current beta, the ability to type text directly into classic notebooks (e.g., DIN A4) has been removed. Instead, text can now only be added via individual text boxes. At the same time, you introduced the new “Text Documents” – a fantastic feature that I find very well implemented.
However, the current setup lacks the flexibility to combine both writing methods within a notebook. Many users – myself included – like to work in a way where we write with the stylus on one page, type on the next A4 page, and then switch back to handwriting again. This…

Neue Dimension für Seiten
Idee:
anstatt nur oberhalb und unterhalb Seiten einfügen zu können, könnte es eine weitere Möglichkeit geben: man kann auf Goodnotes auswählen, ob man eine Mindmap Struktur, Baumdiagramm Struktur, oder viele weitere Strukturen haben möchte. (Alle rechte vorenthalten)3 votes -
MIDI support
I'm using Goodnotes on iPad mainly on stage as a guitarist. As I'm not using real sheet music but have my own note-taking scheme, Goodnotes is the perfect tool for me. On stage I'm also using a bluetooth foot-switch (Boss FS1-WL) which is sending HID commands such as "Right arrow" to turn the next page in Goodnotes and it's working well.
However I have the need to select the next "Performance" on my Amp-Modeler (this can be any MIDI device) at the same time. As the Foot-switch is only able to either being in HID- OR MIDI-mode, this is not…1 vote -

Additionally, when using Shape Mode or the shape drawing tools, we hope that after completing a shape, the tool will not automatically switch back to the Lasso tool.
The current behavior requires users to repeatedly switch tools, which significantly interrupts workflow and reduces efficiency.Furthermore, we hope that in Read-Only Mode or Laser Pointer Mode, users can still interact with tape elements, including tapping to show or hide content. This would allow greater flexibility during presentations or review scenarios without forcing users to exit the current mode.
We also hope the software can better support the Apple Pencil Pro hover…

we hope to introduce a dedicated pen tool for taking screenshots.
Currently, the screenshot process is cumbersome, as users must manually crop the image after each capture, which is inefficient.We suggest adding a screenshot pen that allows users to directly draw a selection box around the desired area. Once the area is selected, the system would immediately capture that region, eliminating the need for additional cropping steps and significantly improving usability and efficiency.

We hope that the button used to return to the desktop, as well as the button for selecting files from the desktop, can be made repositionable.
This would help address the issue on iPad where, in Split View mode, these buttons are obstructed by the window control buttons, preventing users from returning to the desktop while using split-screen mode.
