its sad that GoodNotes ignoring these suggestions at this price!
They don't care!

If you want a real Dark Mode you have to use alternative apps like OneNote.
Because this function will never come.

Dear GoodNotes team,

At the moment there is only the option of having dark paper as a background, which cannot be exported as a PDF in white, as the handwritten text remains white.

I thought of a few methods how to use dark paper, which is easier on the eyes, but can still be exported on white paper.

Method 1:

New intelligent template, which is based on the dark mode settings.

- Dark Mode enabled: Dark paper and white ink
- Dark Mode disabled: White paper and black ink

Method 2:

New Background setting, which changes the appearance of the current paper (like OneNote).

Method 3:

It is possible to export notes without the background, this works fine on white paper, but on dark paper the white ink disappears in the white background.

You could introduce a function that inverts white ink into black (colors other than black and white would remain as they are) This function could be placed next to
The background option while exporting.

At the moment there are only two options, either you work with white paper so that you can export it later in white with black ink, or you work with dark paper, but you can only export it in black, otherwise the white ink disappears on white paper.

Some schools and universities like mine only accept normal white paper

There are already suggestions here, but I started a new one because the others did not have a correct solution.

OneNote and other apps have this feature, so it's not impossible to implement. Even Apple's standard Notes app can do this.

I guess the third method is the easiest to implement. Exporting dark pages without the background is pretty useless at the moment.

Since exporting with white paper is essential for me, I will probably stay with OneNote, unfortunately.

I hope you can introduce this feature soon, because it is desperately needed.

With best regards

this is an easy feature to add. This is the main reason, I still use OneNote.

Even darker dark mode for M1 iPad with XDR Display for deep black look. Would look stunning.

Can you make the menu item colors white so that they are more visible when using dark mode?

YES!! I need this too. 😥

automatic inversion of colour if i have the black background otherwise i ll finish all my toner for every document!!! one note do this...

The current dark mode in GN is simply turning the theme into dark, but not the document. This is not particularly useful, and the dark mode seems to appeal only to people who at the start make the notes with a dark background. What I suggest is to introduce two types of dark nodes and let users have the freedom to choose between the two. The other dark mode would turn every colour into its “opposite” colour (MarginNote does this with their dark mode, and I do find that experience much better). It would be really great if you could introduce this alternative dark mode!!! (For the moment, I never use dark mode when using GoodNotes because all my notes and pdf have a white background and turning to dark mode has no use whatsoever).

GoodNotes needs a feature like this! I rendered my own dark/light modes of the same note page by manually changing the colors. Basically, there is a threshold of how much the colors of ink should change. The color and background should have the same relative contrast between modes. Apple already has this feature in their iOS Notes app, GoodNotes needs it in theirs. I can’t print a black notes page on white paper without spending a fortune on ink. See the attached images for reference.

Yes!!! It’s so bothersome to change everything manually...

PORFAVOR

This feature is desperately needed. Although I love the dark paper because it's easier on my eyes, I would also like to be able to print some of my documents without totally wasting my black ink. It's been two years since the original comment. PLEASE make it happen!

I also want this! I don't like using Adobe for taking notes on pdfs (which supports color inversion). And when I read pdfs on good notes my eyes get tired very fast.

Yes please!

They even have this feature in the native ios Notes app. Come on GoodNotes! Why did I pay money when obvious features are missing, that are available in the free native app?

Exactly..... Why does GoodNotes not have this already??!!

I would like something that darkens the paper and inverts black and white colors. I know we have dark paper but if we want to print it out that would mean we would have to either print that background color or manually change every single page back to white. And if we used dark paper and typed or wrote in white (or vice versa) and switched the background color we would have to manually change that too.

The black paper on GoodNotes is "black" but it's not PITCH BLACK. I find that my notes pop out and look better with a pitch black paper, I'm so sad the GoodNotes "black" version is more of a dark gray.
I love the variety of colors offered by GoodNotes but I keep going back to Notability because their paper is darker and I'm able to actually use the highlighters (and have them pop) .
Please please provide true black paper that's compatible with highlighters! The highlighters do show, but they are not bright and get lost in the grayness of the paper

Me too, I want this! Would be very helpful to save battery and eyes !

I echo the same request
