Customer Suggestions for Goodnotes (Apple)

Welcome to the Goodnotes idea-sharing space!

This space is dedicated to users on Apple devices (iPad, Mac, iPhone). If you’re using Goodnotes on Android, Windows, or Web, please visit this link.

Tips to make your suggestion visible and bring your idea to life:

  • Search existing threads. Your idea might already be under discussion. If so, feel free to add your input or vote on it. More votes = more visibility.
  • Create a new thread if it’s new. If your suggestion is unique, start a new thread. Write a short, clear headline that quickly conveys your main idea, and include context and details in the description.
  • Separate multiple ideas. If you have several suggestions, split them into individual topics so we can review (and others can vote on) each one more effectively.
Please note that we do not offer technical support on this page. To report bugs or get help, please contact our Customer Support.

  1. Custom folder colors / Different color options for folders

    Custom folder colors! I’m happy to have different colors to pick from, but I would love to use a color wheel for more colors like orange or different shades!

  2. Audio Transcription Search

    Please bring back the ability to search audio transcripts. That saves me so much time scrolling when I can search for a phrase or word in the transcripts. It disappeared after one of the new updates across all of my devices (iPhone, Mac, iPad)

    [Audio Transcription Search is in progress 🚧]

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for sharing your suggestion — great news! The ability to search within audio transcriptions is currently in progress and will be going live soon.

    Just to make sure we’ve understood your suggestion correctly: this will be a brand-new feature, as searching within audio transcriptions wasn’t previously possible. If you had a different improvement in mind, please feel free to submit it as a new idea or search within existing ones.

    We’ll keep you updated as development moves forward. Stay tuned!

  3. Apple Widget

    This is my go to app, so it would be ideal to have a widget allowing direct navigation from iPad//iPhone home screen

    [Apple Favorites Widget is in progress 🚧]

    Hello,

    Thank you so much for sharing your ideas around Apple widgets — we truly appreciate you taking the time to contribute your thoughts.

    We’re excited to share that, in addition to the current Create QuickNote Widget, we’ll soon be rolling out a brand-new Favorites Widget 🎉

    With the Favorites Widget, you’ll be able to:

    • Add it directly to your Home Screen
    • Quickly access your recently viewed favorite documents or folders
    • Perform quick actions like Create QuickNote or Search

    This will make it even faster to jump back into what matters most, right from your Home Screen.

    We’ll keep you posted as the rollout approaches. Stay tuned!
