  1. Currently, on the macOS version of Goodnotes, the "Move to" feature only allows selecting folders ("Solo cartelle"). It is not possible to move or merge a generated page directly into an existing notebook from this view.
    To add a page to a notebook, we currently have to move the file to the folder, open the target notebook, and manually import the page, which feels cumbersome compared to iPadOS.
    Please enable the option to view and select existing notebooks/documents as destination targets in the "Move to" menu on macOS.

  2. I would like to see much better zooming options, like in apps like notability or noteful, you can zoom up to 5000%. I feel like adding this would be amazing. Make it easier to work on the really fine details. Maybe consider adding this option. Thanks

  3. Add a dedicated toolbar button to switch between Apple Pencil and finger drawing

    Please add a dedicated button to the main toolbar that allows users to instantly switch between Apple Pencil input and finger drawing with a single tap. This would be especially useful when customers need to sign documents on an iPad without having to use the owner’s Apple Pencil. The button should allow users to switch back and forth quickly, without opening Settings or changing multiple options.

  4. I would love Goodnotes AI to learn and apply each user’s personal note-taking and study style.

    Users could create a personalized “My Study Style” profile that includes:

    • Favorite highlighter colors and pen styles.
    • Preferred heading designs and text layouts.
    • Custom symbols and annotation styles.
    • Color-coding systems for definitions, important facts, and exam questions.
    • Personalized page layouts and study templates.

    The AI could then generate fully editable notes using these saved preferences.

    This would allow students to create consistent, beautiful, and personalized study materials while saving valuable time.

  5. I would love Goodnotes AI to generate complete, well-organized study summaries directly from uploaded PDFs, lecture slides, and handwritten notes.

    The feature could include:

    • Detailed, concise, and exam-focused summary options.
    • Combining multiple lectures into one study guide.
    • Preserving important diagrams, images, tables, and technical terminology.
    • Creating a separate, fully editable Goodnotes notebook.
    • Supporting multiple languages.
    • Linking summarized information to its original slide or page.
    • Allowing students to highlight, annotate, and reorganize the generated summaries.

    This would be especially helpful for university and medical students who study from lengthy lecture presentations.

  6. I love using Goodnotes for studying, but I would love to see more creative writing tools, similar to the variety available in apps like CollaNote and Noteful.

    My suggestions include:

    • More pen types, such as brush pens, markers, and textured pens.
    • Different stroke styles and customizable pen effects.
    • More vibrant and saturated highlighters with adjustable opacity.
    • The ability to create and save custom pen presets.
    • More flexibility in writing and decorating notes.

    These features would make Goodnotes more versatile for students who enjoy creating visually organized and colorful notes.

  7. Add a tool to bookmark specific parts of a whiteboard so you can jump directly to them. Have all the bookmarks be visible under one searchable menu.

    E.g if you click on a bookmark you made for linear algebra, it'll bring you straight to your notes on the topic.

  9. Seria ótimo se a barra de tarefas pudesse mudar de cor. O azul do Goodnotes cansa muito minha visão. A cor é muito escura e também seria bom se ela fosse mais estreita para que eu pudesse colocar outro caderno embaixo (no modo paisagem) e que não ocupasse tanto a tela com bordas de barra de ferramentas. Obrigada

  12. I really loved the text document because it was similar to typing on Microsoft Word and more versatile for me to arrange my study texts. Please bring it back. The box is just too small and inconvenient.

  13. I would love to see a fountain pen added to Goodnotes, similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app. It has a unique, smooth writing feel that would make handwriting more natural and enjoyable. I think having this option would give users more variety in their writing styles.
    Please add a fountain pen similar to the one available in the default iOS Notes app!

  15. I hope the alignment function can be improved—specifically, by adding two guide lines for more precise alignment, similar to presentation software—and by removing restrictions on where elements can be placed.

  16. 파일을 읽어올 때 현재 위치로 읽어오도록 기능을 구현하거나, 읽어올 위치를 사전에 등록할 수 있게 해주세요. 이전 버전에 비슷한 기능이 있었는데, 새 버전에 구현이 안돼 있습니다. 현재는 문서를 하나 읽어올 때마다 상위 폴더에서 원하는 하위 폴더까지 찾아가야 하는 번거로움이 있습니다. 빨리 개선해 주세요.

  17. The universal selection tool, or maybe it’s the quick selection idek, is a constant battle for me. Every time I tap somewhere else while I’m writing, it selects whatever I just clicked on, which also moves me from the pen tool to the lasso tool. Which I also do constantly even out of habit to deselect something. And most of the time, I’m writing on an image, so when that gets selected it makes all my handwriting go behind it.

    I’m glad we got the lock image tool, but why doesn’t that prevent the image from being selected in the…

  18. Subject: "Mirror Presenter Page" shows wrong area when Goodnotes is in Split View

    Hello Goodnotes team,

    I mirror my iPad to an Apple TV via AirPlay and use "Mirror Presenter Page". When Goodnotes runs in Split View, the Apple TV does not show the same area that I see in the Goodnotes window on my iPad. It behaves as if the Goodnotes window were not in Split View, so the page and zoom on the TV are cut off or shifted.

    According to your help article, this mode should show the current page and zoom and only hide the other…

  19. I love Goodnotes so much that I don't just feel like a customer anymore, I truly feel like a part of the family. You guys cook up the absolute best note-taking experience, and I'm always cheering for our "shop."
    The other day, I happened to step into another app called "Freenotes." Honestly, they aren't nearly as good as us, but they do have one simple, incredibly sensible quality that made me stop and think. It really pointed out a missing ingredient in our own recipe: a page "expansion" feature.
    In Freenotes, when you run out of room, you can seamlessly…

  20. When I enable Read-Only Mode, a small down-arrow button appears at the top-left corner of the page (as shown in the attached screenshot).
    I understand that this is a navigation/UI control, but while reading or revising my notes, this button becomes a visual distraction.

    More importantly, the button overlaps with the content of my notes. As a result, some parts of my notes underneath or near the button are partially hidden and are not clearly visible. This becomes particularly inconvenient when I am trying to read or revise the notes.

    Could you please consider adding an option in Settings to…
