Anchor the floating toolbars
Please give an option to anchor toolbars. I see lots of comments about the regular pencil tool bar and I agree with those too.
But I want to draw attention to the tool bar that pops up when editing a text box. It move from above the text box to below the text box when the keyboard comes and goes making it annoying when it pops up right under my finger that was about to tap on another element etc. This UI UX makes it difficult to do anything fast.
Please give the option to dock the text editor toolbar…

Feature Request: Multi-Window Note Editing on iPad
Hello GoodNotes Team,
I’ve been a long-time user of GoodNotes, and I really appreciate the seamless experience it provides for note-taking and organizing documents. I would like to suggest a feature that I believe could significantly improve productivity for iPad users: multi-window note editing.
Currently, it is not possible to open two notes side by side in GoodNotes, which makes referencing or transferring information between notes less convenient. With a multi-window feature, users could:
View two or more notes simultaneously for easier cross-referencing.
Drag and drop text, images, or handwriting between notes.
Increase productivity for students, professionals, and anyone managing…

Improve Handwriting Readability Over Thick or Dark Lines
When writing a cross a solid thick line , some separation between the handwriting and the thick line is needed so for example the white outline around a dark letter will visually separate the handwriting from a line behind it. Outlined handwriting does not seem to be supported as of now.

Suggestion about adding an widget option in side bar.
I suggest adding a widget/tool option in side bar . This could include tools like a browser, AI tools, graph creators, calculators, and even custom or local AI tools. Any output from these tools shouldbe directly importable into notes. Also give us an option where, users could create and publish tools, and others could use or buy them as needed. This would make GoodNotes a complete all-in-one productivity app.
Hey guys upvote it please .to have soon this feature.1 vote -
When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without
I am a user of GoodNotes on a Microsoft Surface Studio (Windows version) . When using the Text Tool, the newly created text box should automatically span the entire paper width (or full usable margin width) without manually resizing each time.
Why it’s important:
Saves time and friction: each time I start a new text box, I currently have to resize it manually.
Provides a consistent look and layout across notes, especially when writing longer paragraphs.
Makes Windows version closer in functionality to what iPad version has, enhancing cross-platform consistency.
Suggestions for implementation:
Option in settings: “New Text Box Default…

selecting text using a cursor on ipad
When selecting text on an iPad on a pdf, I have to hold down on a word and manually drag the selection as if I am using my finger. The drag function with a cursor on iPad is currently used to scroll through, but this is much less useful than using two fingers on a trackpad or a scroll wheel. Could the ‘drag cursor’ function please be reprogrammed to select text instead (like in every other application) please??

Laser Pointer Tool Writing
The writing experience is much smoother with the laser tool, and looks prettier as well. I would love to have that permanantly as a pen type. It would still be a huge help if at least if the developers could share which thickness/sharpness etc. to use with which pen style to best 'replicate' the laser.

add support for game controllers(gamepads)
I hope to add support for game controllers(gamepads) and the ability to customize key mappings, so that we can use the controller(gamepads) with my left hand to control which tool to use, and use Apple Pencil with my right hand to write. Not everyone has the latest Apple Pencil Pro, which makes it difficult for those without Apple Pencil Pro to experience the quick switching of pen tools.

Request for Chinese Support in Audio Transcription Feature
I recently learned about your experimental Audio Transcription feature, and I think it is an excellent tool for enhancing productivity and learning. However, I noticed that it currently does not support Chinese transcription. As a Chinese-speaking user, I believe adding Chinese support would significantly improve the accessibility and usability of this feature for a broader audience.
For users like me, who frequently study in a multilingual environment, having Chinese transcription is essential. Many of my lectures, discussions, and study materials are conducted in Chinese, and the lack of this capability limits my ability to make full use of GoodNotes. Adding…

Stickers - bring back the old menu
Please bring back the old method of being able to tap anywhere on screen to show the sticker menu and have the sticker placed exactly where you tapped on screen. The new method of tapping the sticker icon in the toolbar, selecting a sticker, the. Having to find the sticker randomly placed on the page, then move it where it’s required is such a backwards step and waste of time!

Optimization Issues in GoodNotes for iPad on Apple M-Series Chips
This proposal summarizes optimization issues that include chronic overheating, performance degradation, and user experience problems occurring in the GoodNotes iPad app, even on high-performance Apple Silicon devices such as the M1 iPad Pro and newer models equipped with M-series chips.
The core objective of this proposal is to respect the hardware constraints of the iPad’s fanless design while fully leveraging Apple Silicon–specific hardware accelerators, including the Apple Neural Engine (ANE), through a truly native architecture approach. By optimizing GoodNotes in accordance with Apple Silicon hardware characteristics, the app should regain a “Pro-level” stability where users no longer need to restart…

Bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph View
Please add bidirectional links. I use Obsidian as a Personal knowledge management (PKM) vault and love its bidirectional links and Knowledge Graph view. Being able to see how notes reference each other makes large collections of notes manageable while also allowing me to make connections otherwise impossible to see. Please add so GoodNote can be my one stop shop for note taking.

Toolbar disappear
I like the new update, especially where you can make the toolbar disappear, but still write. I want it to stay gone when I double-tap my Apple Pencil to erase. It increases space on the page with it gone, but I would love to be able to switch to my erase (by double-tapping), and not have it pop back up.

Joining pages together for cross stitch
