I love the app and use it daily across iPad + Windows. But I’m hitting the same wall every single session: there’s no way to save separate, named pen color palettes for different contexts.

My workflow swings between:

White backgrounds (lecture slides, lab reports) → darker inks

Black backgrounds (my own notes) → lighter/pastel inks

Right now I’m forced to maintain one long presets strip and manually hunt/eyedropper colors each time. It’s slow, error-prone, and breaks focus. After months of this, it’s honestly pretty frustrating because color is a core UX primitive in note-taking.

What I’m asking for (minimum viable solution):

Named palettes (e.g., “Light Paper,” “Dark Paper,” “Highlighters”).

Per-document palette memory (a notebook remembers which palette it last used).

Quick toggle (one tap / keyboard shortcut / long-press on the color dot to switch palettes).

Auto-switch by paper color (optional: when the page/background is dark, default to a designated “Light Inks” palette).

Import/Export palettes so I can share between iPad, Mac, Windows, and teammates.

Even just (1) + (2) would remove dozens of taps per day and keep me in flow. I’m a student in engineering; the time savings and reduction in accidental low-contrast marks would be massive across long study sessions.

Happy to provide a short Loom of the current workaround and test any beta. Please escalate this to product/UX—this feels like one of those small features that compounds into a huge quality-of-life win for a lot of us.

Thanks for listening, and for building a great app. I really want to keep Goodnotes as my daily driver—this would make that choice easy.
