Add Highlighter Functionality for Mouse Users
I am an iPad user and frequently work with GoodNotes using an external mouse.
However, I noticed that several tools in the app are not fully supported when using a mouse. In particular, the highlighter tool cannot be used properly with mouse input, which significantly limits productivity for users who prefer or rely on this type of interaction.
I would like to suggest the implementation of full mouse support for the highlighter tool and other drawing features. Adding this functionality would greatly enhance the user experience and make GoodNotes even more versatile for those using the app in desktop-like workflows.

Different default fonts depending on file
I have docs in different languages (with different alphabets) and I would like to be able to have a different font for each one, to avoid changing it every time I change a document

Color switch
Hi can we bring back the double tap to switch highlighter color? It’s not working on neither of my iPads and I have tried in both with different pencils (pro and 2nd gen). Has it been removed? Or is it a bug?

Improve Lasso Tool Visibility and Selection Feedback
As shown in the attached images, it would be beneficial to add a movement or animated effect to the Lasso tool so that users can more clearly recognize its motion while selecting an area.
Additionally, similar to the Lasso tool in Photoshop, I would like to request a feature that allows users to visually confirm exactly which handwritten content has been selected when using the Lasso tool. When selecting handwritten notes, it is sometimes unclear which parts are included in the selection.
For example, as illustrated in the images, it would be helpful to clearly distinguish between selecting the entire…

Request for Improved Pencil Writing Feel (Adding Jitter Control and Grit Control Options)
As shown in the attached image, a pencil thickness of approximately 0.3–0.35 mm provides the most comfortable writing experience. When the thickness is set above or below this range, the jitter either becomes too weak or too strong, which significantly reduces writing satisfaction.
For this reason, I would like to request the addition of adjustable jitter control and grit (texture) control options.
Additionally, the current pencil tool lacks advanced customization options. To enhance professional writing and drawing experiences, I propose separating the pencil tool into distinct categories, such as pencil and mechanical pencil. Furthermore, similar to real pencils (e.g., 2B,…

Make tape feature accessible across all versions
Make tape feature available across all versions, considering this app is primarily used by students who utilize active recall, and several users have already paid a one-time purchase fee for earlier versions. Yearly subscription is subpar compared to competing developers who either require a one-time purchase fee with numerous features that are not available on Goodnotes or offer these same features at reduced pricing. Greed gets you nowhere but forgotten.

Enhanced color control for LaTeX math
The amazing LaTeX conversion feature is currently hindered by the need for us users to manually insert LaTeX code (like \textcolor{...}) whenever we want to change the color of a rendered equation.
To significantly enhance our experience, I ask you to integrate the standard Text Color Picker to allow for direct, easy and instant color changes upon selecting a converted equation. Implementing this would automatically handle the underlying code changes, making it extremely practical and fast to style the converted equations.

Text boxes cut off when switching the desktop app use; Feature Request – Auto-Expand Text Boxes in Desktop App
I’m a Pro user and have noticed that in the desktop app, text boxes often appear cut off until I click on each one. This can be quite time-consuming when reviewing notes with many text boxes.
I would love to see a feature that allows text boxes to automatically expand or fully display their content by default, without needing to click on each box individually.
This improvement would greatly enhance the user experience and help maintain note readability across devices.

Make updated tools optional
Allow us to use the old versions of tools, whether an option in settings or the tool itself. Tools like the line editing tool are now useless at smaller levels as the circle used to select the line can be massively larger than the line itself, making it impossible to actually see what you are doing, but in the past it used to scale with how zoomed in you were. Other tools like the shape tool also have been affected by this. I make many complex drawings and diagrams for physics and I can no longer do practically any of…

Colour Pallette, font, pen size, pen colours per notebook
We want to create each notebook to have its own font, font size, font colour, Pen, Pen size and pen colour as well as our own colour palette so that every time we go into each of our notebooks they will have their own formatting setup. Thus please create the option to save different colour palettes etc.

shapes as sticky tool
- Could you add an option to make autoshape tool as sticky tool. I usuanly draw shapes, add connection to them, adjust size and position, then keep on drawing. After adjust shapes, it gets back to Lasso tool automatically, then I need to switch back manually every time I want to keep on next shape.
- Another thing is about the connector. Could you add a function so I can delete intermediate point on a connector. Too many relay points make the connector difficult to adjust.

Vertical or Floating Toolbar Option
Hi, I would like to leave a suggestion that is very important to me. If possible, could you please add an option to move the Goodnotes toolbar? Currently, it is only available at the top in a horizontal layout, but it would be great to have the choice to position it vertically or even as a floating menu.
This feature would make it much easier to reach tools with the stylus, especially on large tablets where we often write in portrait mode (with the short side at the top and the long side on the side).
I hope you will…

Easier Text Coloring in Txt-Doc.
In a Txt-Doc there should be more tools in the toolbar for important actions like setting the background color of selected Text to a color by just clicking on the color symbol.

rotate and resize text with two fingers
When I am using the lasso tool I would like to rotate the handwritten text with my fingers or pencil and resize it as well but it seems very restricted at the moment. When I use two fingers it duplicates which there is no need for as there is a copy and paste function and the only way to rotate is the box icon which is very restricted and not free as in like free motion.

Cartesian co-ordinate system tool
Hello Goodnotes Team,
I am a dedicated user of your app, and I love how it has transformed my note-taking. I have a feature suggestion that I believe would be immensely valuable for students and professionals in mathematics, science, and engineering: the addition of a built-in Cartesian Coordinate System tool.
The Suggestion
Currently, users must manually draw or import graph paper to create graphs. My suggestion is to implement a feature that allows users to instantly generate a customizable Cartesian coordinate plane on any page, similar to how the Shape Tool works.
Key Customization Options

Additionally, when using Shape Mode or the shape drawing tools, we hope that after completing a shape, the tool will not automatically switch back to the Lasso tool.
The current behavior requires users to repeatedly switch tools, which significantly interrupts workflow and reduces efficiency.Furthermore, we hope that in Read-Only Mode or Laser Pointer Mode, users can still interact with tape elements, including tapping to show or hide content. This would allow greater flexibility during presentations or review scenarios without forcing users to exit the current mode.
We also hope the software can better support the Apple Pencil Pro hover…
