Hello everyone,
This discussion invites thoughts on how Goodnotes for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS could be improved to better serve modern users.
Smarter Contextual Features
What if Goodnotes could recognize context better? For example, writing down a date could trigger a prompt to add it to your calendar. Or sketching a flowchart could allow you to convert it into a structured diagram automatically.
Seamless Cross-Device Experience
The iPad version shines, but the macOS counterpart could use a redesign to feel more intuitive. Gesture support, better syncing speeds, and improved editing tools would help unify the experience across platforms.
Quick Parallel – Inspired by Escape Road
Like in Escape Road, where each path must be adapted to changing conditions, note-taking is rarely linear. Goodnotes could benefit from helping users “navigate” their own ideas—perhaps with suggestions, visual overviews, or “you haven’t visited this page in a while” nudges. Sometimes the key to better productivity lies in how easily we can jump from one train of thought to another—just like dodging obstacles at high speed.

What’s your take? How would you make Goodnotes even better?
