Audio recording — Periodic auto-save points
While recording audio, GoodNotes should periodically autosave and start a new recording, e.g. once per hour. This would break the recording into hourlong chunks. This functionality is available in Notability, for example.
Use case: if the user forgets to turn off recording, it’s easier to delete unnecessary recordings later by looking at the timestamp.

Integrating AI into GoodNotes
GoodNotes users are looking to integrate AI features into the app, similar to other note-taking apps like Notion. AI-powered features such as transforming notes into practice tests, flashcards, table forms and summaries can help users study and revise more efficiently. Additionally, users would like to see AI-powered grammar and vocabulary suggestions to improve the quality of their notes.

1.Searchable text in imported images/screenshots (like apple photos).2.Pdfs as small images that maintain searchable text.3.Infinite Canvas.
The ability to import a pdf as a smaller file/image similar to the way Notability lets you import scanned pdfs by giving you two options of either importing it as an image or importing it as a full-scale pdf would be an amazing feature. GoodNotes seems to make it imperative that something must be scanned instead of imported from another source in order to recognize text. This is the case at least when importing images or pdfs that were not OCR'd and have unrendered text in them.
I feel like this proposal would be helpful, in that, it would allow…

Line Smoothing For Pen Tool
Add an option for the pen tool that would smooth out handwriting (similar to a feature in procreate.) I can get really picky about my handwriting and will spend 5x as long writing a sentence trying to get the jitters and bumps out of the hand writing.

Transparency slider for Elements/ images
I would love to have a way to edit transparency/ opacity of elements and images added to a document. I often make notes on sheet music and would like to be able to see the notes underneath the sticky notes!

Roman numerals & Unnumbered Pages
The book I am studying has Roman numerals (I-II-III) at the beginning. Then, Arabic numerals would start (1-2-3). What’s frustrating is when I want to search for Arabic numeral page “14” in GoodNotes, it’ll take me to Arabic numeral page “2” instead.
I attached a photo.
Adding the option to renumber pages to Roman numerals would help this make page searching that much easier. Adding the option to unnumbered pages would help too! Sometimes I add regular notebook page in-between the other pages in order to write my own detailed notes.
I attached a mock-up of how the thumbnails tab…

convert handwriting into text
I would like to request a feature that converts handwriting into text. I know that the current lasso tool can do it, but what I asked for is a tool similar to lasso. Circle the text and it converts to text and replaces the original handwriting. This will be easier to convert current handwriting into text, also easier than the text tool.

Add notification to study flashcards
When I complete flashcards, it says there is a time I should come back to review it again. Would be nice to have a notification to remind me on the day.

Typing: type text smoothly like in One Note or Notion
GoodNotes is a killer app for taking notes by hand but it’s really weak in the typing department.
Things that would make GoodNotes perfect:
- pre-set text formatting (title, headings, subheadings, normals text)
- text alignment (right, left, center, etc.)
- lists (bullet, number, checkbox)
- toggles (like in Notion)GoodNotes is wonderful for annotating PDFs, pictures and books and for drawing diagrams. However, it’s impossible to write all my notes by hand so I have to use Notion for typing and just insert the pictures I annotated or diagrams I drew in GoodNotes into Notion. So I now use…

Recall/Study Mode (active recall via hiding words/filling in the blanks)
It would be great if there was a mode wherein all the text that you highlight (using a specific tool designated for this mode), would be hidden (the text disappears but you see a blank line in its place). When you click on the blank line again, the word will reappear (then clicking another time will make the word disappear) -- basically it's becomes a mini flash card/ fill in the blank option!
Also, this would only apply when you turn the mode on. Once its turned off the file is back to normal/original form and you won't see which…

endless paper to annotate lecture slides
I love GN5, however, I can't use it as much as I would like to since for my classes I annotate the PDF lecture slides and need more space than the PDF slide themselves. Therefore, I have to use OneNote which allows me to insert a printout of the PDF and I can write on both the slides and have notes specific to the slide on the side. I would love to be able to have this in GN since GN5 has so many more features I prefer to OneNote.

Auto-Add Next Page
When text is added on one page, Goodnotes could automatically add another page below the current one, so we don't need to pull to add page as we go. Although the pull feature works, it would be nicer if this was done automatically so the user can continually write without breaking up their flow to add a page. The last blank page could be excluded from page exports as well.

Different search highlight colors
Enable different search highlight colors. I tend to use orange highlighter (best for multiple layers for emphasis) and the search highlighter gets drowned out with it.

Read only / Edit mode keyboard shortcut
A keyboard shortcut to toggle between read-only and edit modes. (⌘R perhaps?)
For both the Mac and iPad versions
I use a planner with hyperlinks and frequently have to toggle between the two modes, as the hyperlinks are easier to use in Read-only mode

Improvement on Mac typing
By far the biggest let down of GoodNotes is the failure of the drawing coexisting with the typing. Currently, typing is shocking on mac and must be improved to a similar standard to a word processor. This would widen the target market dramatically and improve the service significantly.

Different types of fills (patterns & textures) for shapes, such as hatching, cross-hatching, dots of different sizes, dashed & dotted lines
It would be great if we could fill the shapes that we create with more unique fills. Not only will this make the process more creative but it would also make our visuals more understandable.

Ability to overlay a grid on top of a page (to write straight)
Being able to overlay a grid that we can toggle on and off and also move around the page would be helpful for writing straight on pdf documents.
At the moment, all we can do is add a new page with the grid template. But for writing in PDFs (a digital assignment where you handwrite answers to questions, for example), there’s no way to overlay a grid to aid in writing straight.
Procreate has a similar grid feature where you can toggle the grid on or off and you can draw on top of it.
