Have templates with white paper
Yellow/beige paper is fine on the iPad, but when exported in PDF the whole document is the same colour and wastes a lot of ink when printing.

Support the new Wacom Intuos Creative Stylus
I just bought this pen, and it's by far the best bluetooth tablet pen I've ever used. Just the right weight, comfortable, the pressure sensitivity is perfect, and you can even use it as a regular stylus in any app.
But the only supported app, Bamboo paper, is not very good for note taking.
Please consider adding support for this superb pen.

Selective eraser
Selective erase, just like the lasso tool. At the moment the only selection available for eraser is “Erase Highlighted Only” but some times i want to delete the text or shape within the highlighted area. Would be nice that we could pick “Erase handwriting only” as well.

Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your suggestions! Great news! Selective eraser is now available to users, with the release of 7.1.10.
This feature will allow you to erase with total precision. Simply select a single content type and erase only those marks, even when dragging the eraser across a mix of handwriting, doodles, and text.
We’ll keep you updated as things move forward, and we’d love to hear your thoughts or any additional feedback you’d like to share in the meantime.

Add the option to change the folder Icons
I have a lot of Folders in my GoodNotes Library and every Folder is just blue. On my Mac I've changed every Folder Icon in my music library with the album cover.
Should be great to have that option in GoodNotes

Add a clock option to the menu bar ...
The old version used to allow the iOS clock to be visible at the top of the screen. In the new version, the clock is no longer visible. This is much cleaner, however, if there are other users like me who teach a class using GoodNotes with my lecture notes, having that clock visible is pretty important for keeping the class schedule. Would it be possible to add an option for a clock to display on the GoodNotes menu bar?
142 votesIt can be activated in Options > Settings > General.

Add the eraser icon to the Zoom Window?
I just purchased the app today and all I can say is that it's amazing! I can now stop carrying my notebooks with me, which makes life a lot easier. I think fluidity is important when it comes to note taking, and not having a eraser on the Zoom Window gets in the way and is a distraction. If you guys can add this feature aim sure many users would appreciate it!
Keep up the good work! I'll definitely recommend this app to all my colleagues who are trying to go paperless.

Allow the deletion of highlighter, leaving text intact.
Having highlighted some hand-written notes, the eraser will delete both the highlight and the text. Please give an option for the eraser to delete only the highlight, leaving the notes "underneath" intact.
134 votesIn GoodNotes 5, the eraser can be set to “erase highlighter only”. Tap and hold on the eraser icon to access the settings.
Don’t forget to deactivate it afterward to also erase regular ink strokes again.

Collapsible “Sticky Notes”
Especially in PDFs and PowerPoint Presentations where you cannot add more room to write on or around the page, having the ability to add and create a collapsible “sticky note” on the page would be useful. An example is provided:
120 votesHello,
With the September 2025 update, collapsing Sticky Notes are now available.
To use them:
- Select Sticky Notes from the main toolbar (it’s a separate tool).
- Create a sticky note.
- Tap Collapse (the arrows icon) in the object menu, the note will collapse along with its text, similar to a comment icon.
- To expand it again, simply tap the sticky note.
Screenshot attached.
Let us know if this works for you!

Optical Character Recognition
One of the best features for me were searchable PDFs in GoodNotes with the last update.
You could further enhance this experience, if you would add the ability to search your handwritten notes, too. I know this feature would be a lot of work, but you would get really close to Pro Note Tools like OneNote from Microsoft.116 votes
