Add Opacity Control to Pen Tools
I would like to suggest adding an opacity control (0–100%) to pen tools such as the fountain pen, ballpoint pen, brush pen, pencil, highlighter, and tape pen.
This feature would allow for greater flexibility and precision in note-taking, highlighting, and creative work.

Hold and drag highlight
Fervently requesting feature - Hold and drag to highlight entire lines quickly without having to go through each line. This is the only feature I'm missing from my old Notability. Thanks

Toolbar Customization
Please let us have more control over how we want our toolbar to be organized.
I use Goodnotes to read and I prefer my toolbar to be minimal and I would like to have the erase button and sticker button to be within the edit document button rather than them being separate (forgot the correct term so I went with this instead).
Also, please let us remove the “Accessories” section especially if we do not find it useful. Just transfer it within the dropdown arrow (see screenshot attached).
I find the multiple locaton of each buttons to be extremely tiring…

[Fountain Pen] Lock Nib Angle
When using the fountain pen with Apple Pencil rotation enabled, users must constantly re-adjust their grip to keep the nib horizontal. Locking rotation forces a fixed default angle that often looks unnatural for a fountain pen.
Please add the option to lock the nib at a user-defined angle, for example by letting the user set the angle with a slider so the pen hits the page the same way every time. See image for example. This would greatly improve writing flow, style and comfort.

Expand Tool Bar for Text Docs to Improve Efficiency
I would appreciate the ability to expand and customize the Tool Bar within Text Docs. I use the different font and background colors quite frequently to help organize my Text Docs, but having to do multiple clicks and scrolls to select these features has made it feel less efficient.
The option to create "presets" for text would be amazing as I use the same headings, font colors, and background colors often. This would greatly reduce the number of clicks I have to do!

Clickable To Do Style Check Boxes in Notebooks
It would be nice to have clickable To Do style check boxes in the notebooks section of Goodnotes, not just the document side. It would make checking off to do list much easier.

More Pen Styles, Textures & Highlighter Customization
I love using Goodnotes for studying, but I would love to see more creative writing tools, similar to the variety available in apps like CollaNote and Noteful.
My suggestions include:
- More pen types, such as brush pens, markers, and textured pens.
- Different stroke styles and customizable pen effects.
- More vibrant and saturated highlighters with adjustable opacity.
- The ability to create and save custom pen presets.
- More flexibility in writing and decorating notes.
These features would make Goodnotes more versatile for students who enjoy creating visually organized and colorful notes.

Bookmark for Whiteboards
Add a tool to bookmark specific parts of a whiteboard so you can jump directly to them. Have all the bookmarks be visible under one searchable menu.
E.g if you click on a bookmark you made for linear algebra, it'll bring you straight to your notes on the topic.

Floatingbar
Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

Barra tarefas estreita e cor personalizada
Seria ótimo se a barra de tarefas pudesse mudar de cor. O azul do Goodnotes cansa muito minha visão. A cor é muito escura e também seria bom se ela fosse mais estreita para que eu pudesse colocar outro caderno embaixo (no modo paisagem) e que não ocupasse tanto a tela com bordas de barra de ferramentas. Obrigada

Everything selects without using the lasso
The universal selection tool, or maybe it’s the quick selection idek, is a constant battle for me. Every time I tap somewhere else while I’m writing, it selects whatever I just clicked on, which also moves me from the pen tool to the lasso tool. Which I also do constantly even out of habit to deselect something. And most of the time, I’m writing on an image, so when that gets selected it makes all my handwriting go behind it.
I’m glad we got the lock image tool, but why doesn’t that prevent the image from being selected in the…

Search tool in text documents
At the moment there is no search tool in text documents. I don’t understand this decision at all. Being able to search within a text document is absolutely crucial.

Improve Search Navigation in Goodnotes
- Search sometimes misses words that are already present in the document.
- Add Match Case and Whole Words search options.
- Navigate directly to the exact location of the searched word instead of only opening the page.
- Preserve the current zoom level when jumping to search results.
- Highlight the searched word after navigation.
- This would be especially useful in Whiteboard mode, where the large canvas makes precise navigation essential.
- A search experience similar to PDF Expert would greatly improve speed and productivity.

Shape tool is not as good as before
Shape tool has become worse than goodnotes 6. Earlier we could draw any shape by drawing and holding the shape but now it converts every weird shape into a perfect shape line like square, rectangle or star
Just make it as flexible as goodnotes 6 shape tool12 votes -

Add an Optional Auto Re-Hide Mode for Masking Tape
The Masking Tape feature is extremely useful for memorization practice.
However, during repetitive active recall study, users currently need to manually hide each revealed masking tape again before testing themselves another time.
This becomes tedious when many masking tapes are used on a single page.
An optional “Auto Re-Hide” mode would solve this problem.
Example:
- Tap to reveal
- After a user-defined delay (1s / 3s / 5s etc.), the masking tape automatically hides again
This would create a much smoother flashcard-like study experience and improve memorization efficiency significantly.
The feature could remain completely optional and be turned ON/OFF depending on…
