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…

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 -
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.

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…

Add Opacity Control to Pen Tools
I would like to suggest adding an opacity control (0–100%) to pen tools such as the fountain pen, ballpoint pen, brush pen, pencil, highlighter, and tape pen.
This feature would allow for greater flexibility and precision in note-taking, highlighting, and creative work.

Expand Pencil Grades and Add a Mechanical Pencil Tool in GoodNotes
I would like to suggest expanding the pencil tool in GoodNotes by adding a full range of pencil hardness options, including:
12B, 11B, 10B, 9B, 8B, 7B, 6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B, HB, F, H, 2H, 3H, 4H, 5H, 6H, 7H, 8H, 9H, and 10H.
In addition, it would be great to include a mechanical pencil (sharp pencil) tool, which would be especially useful for precise writing, diagrams, and technical notes.
These additions would provide users with more realistic and flexible drawing and writing experiences, similar to traditional pencils.

Add OCR and Live Text Features to GoodNotes
I often import lecture PDF files into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. In many cases, professors or instructors provide materials as text-based PDFs. However, there are also many situations where the files have been converted from PDF → image → PDF, making the text unselectable and turning the entire document into an image.
When a document is image-based, tasks such as translating the content, searching for unfamiliar terms on the web, or asking GoodNotes AI questions about specific text become difficult. Currently, GoodNotes AI’s OCR capabilities for image-based documents are quite limited, and it sometimes misrecognizes text or…

Add PDF Editing Features to Correct Typos and Layout Issues
I often import lecture PDFs into GoodNotes to take notes and add annotations. However, the materials uploaded by professors or instructors are rarely 100% free of typos or layout errors. These mistakes can sometimes confuse GoodNotes AI, and when typos exist, I often end up importing a blank white page and manually re-typing the corrected text using the text or pen tools.
As PDF editing is becoming increasingly important, I would like to suggest adding built-in PDF editing features that allow users to directly correct typos and fix layout issues within PDFs. This would make it possible to view and…

Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI
Proposal: Add AI Model Selection and File Attachment Features to GoodNotes AI
I would like to suggest adding AI model selection and advanced attachment capabilities to GoodNotes AI.First, it would be great to introduce tiered AI plans under the GoodNotes AI Pass, such as AI Basic, AI Pro, and AI Special. Based on the selected AI Pass and the available tokens or credits, users could choose and use different AI response models.
For example: ChatGPT 5.2 (Thinking / Auto / Instant), Gemini 3 Pro, Gemini Flash, or a GoodNotes-native AI model (v1.0).Second, I suggest adding options that allow…

AI Audio Overview from notes or PDF like notebook LM
Notebook LM has a great feature where you can create an audio overview using AI that creates a podcast episode from the content. This is the only reason I use Notebook LM as well as goodnotes and I think this should be on Goodnotes' roadmap as party of becoming a leading AI notebook took.

Draw on different LAYERS!
Draw on different LAYERS!
Hi I really would like to be able to do a sketch on a FIRST LAYER, then do a sketch on TOP on a SECOND layer..so that later I can still CHANGE the 1st layer underneath ( move, erase, change color, change size, copy etc..) WITHOUT affecting the LAYER ON TOP!!
That would be a TOTAL GAME CHANGER!!
Thanks!!12 votes -
Text Document support custom fonts
I would like the Text Document feature to support custom fonts.
Being able to set and use custom fonts is important for my note-taking workflow, especially for maintaining visual consistency and personal preferences. Currently, the lack of font customization in Text Documents limits their usability compared to handwritten notebooks.1 vote -
Support for older devices
It seems that my 2017 MacBook Pro 15" isn't compatible with Goodnotes anymore (it doesn't synchronies to the latest documents anymore and says that I should Update my Goodnotes app but my App Store doesn't provide any new updates.) and I just wanted to feedback you that I find this very sad and would really appreciate a longer support for older devices (:

Change the typing options back to how it used to be
There used to be 2 options to Type on a page, the Text Box and the whole screen text field. It used to be so easy to acces the whole page typing mode, and to edit it later on, which it now isnt. Having one button to get back to the feature would save so much time and ones work flow, because the way you access it right now is really inconvenient. Same thing goes for the text box - this little widget with options to edit the text font etc. is always in the middle of the screen covering…
