Apple Pencil Hover Issues
Please fix the issue where handwriting strokes become stretched and unintentionally connect to other letters when Apple Pencil Hover is enabled! Writing feels natural when Hover is turned off, but this issue always occurs when Hover is enabled.
When hovering the Apple Pencil near buttons, the interaction animations either do not exist or feel awkward compared to Apple’s apps and other well-designed apps. (The buttons only fade instead of changing size or responding naturally.)
Also, I do not think the keyboard shortcut hints need to appear when hovering over these buttons. (This applies to all buttons.)1 vote -
[Animations] Reduce opening animation time for folders and sidebars
GoodNotes feels very slow and outdated when it comes to the slow animation when clicking on folders. Instead of feeling snappy and responsive the long animation leaves me feeling sluggish.
The same goes for when I open the page view sidebar and the search sidebar. These slow opening animations are outdated and make GoodNotes feel unnecessary sluggish when compared to Notability’s snappy, simple animations.

Please update Goodnotes for Windows. There is no reason we can't have the same versions as iPad users, like changing fonts! Give us more features PLEASE

Write in Place
Write in Place makes the page automatically shift to the left while writing, so your hand can stay almost in the same position. It does not matter where on the page you begin writing. As soon as you write a letter or a word, the system measures how far your pen moves to the right. The page does not move during the stroke itself, but every time you lift the pen, it immediately shifts to the left by exactly that amount.
This is especially important for cursive writing: if you write a whole word in one continuous motion, the page…

Tip Sharpness, Pressure Sensitivity, and Tip Flatness Options to the Highlighter
I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.
With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.
These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

Central task list on user workstation for all ‘selected’ workbooks
I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.
It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.
If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

Smoother typing experience please!
Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs
Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)
Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing
More reliable copy/paste behavior

[Audio Recording] Text-to-speech Reader
I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

Bring back local Favorites filtering within individual folders (instead of just global Favorites)
With recent updates, the option to filter or prioritize favorited documents within a specific folder has been removed. Now, clicking on Favorites just throws every single starred document into one massive global list.
This completely disrupts an organized workflow. When I am working inside a specific folder, I want to be able to filter for or automatically pin the favorites of that exact folder to the top, without having to look at files from completely different projects.
Please bring back local favorites filtering or an option to sort folders by "Favorites First".

Zapier
Subject: Zapier Integration Request - Automate GoodNotes Workflows
Hi GoodNotes team,
I'm a fan of your app and would love to integrate it with Zapier to automate my workflows. Specifically, I'd like to:
Create new GoodNotes notebooks/documents automatically when triggered by events in other apps (like our job management system)
Organize notes based on job details (client name, job ID, etc.)
Optionally export or sync GoodNotes content to cloud storage
Do you have plans to launch a Zapier integration? If so, when might this be available? If not, is there an API or webhook I could use in the meantime?…

Download only the document you want
It would be nice if I could download only the documents I wanted. I have a small iPad mini capacity, but downloading all the documents makes the capacity so much that I can't even update the iPad os.

font
I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.
Here are the details:
✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)
“New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button
Font toolbar is in the top ribbon
Custom fonts appear normally
✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)
“New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button
Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box
Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker

True Black (Pure Black) Dark Mode for Mini-LED / OLED Displays
I use this app on my iPad Pro with a Mini-LED screen. I want a completely black screen, not a dark gray one. This will allow my battery to last longer.

Save Whiteboard background
I'd like to be able to change my default Whiteboard background from Dot Grid & White.
Could be done by:
- Saving the last background used
- Manually saving in the Whiteboard creation screen
This would be very helpful!

Highlighter Grouping
I often use different sets of highlighting colors depending on what I’m working on. It would be very helpful if Goodnotes allowed users to create and save groups (or palettes) of highlight colors. That way, I wouldn’t need to manually change the highlight colors each time I switch tasks or subjects.

Reinstall the “save the font type, size & colour” option again.
This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

Bring back the ability to draw straight lines
After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.
In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line,…
