Convert typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own handwriting style
An AI Feature that can convert your typed text into your handwritten Notes in your own handwriting style, if you paste the typed text in Goodnotes and press the new button to convert it into handwriting (like in the picture), so it can seamlessly adapt to your other handwritten notes.

Add a way to close file navigator and return to document tabs
There are two view modes in Goodnotes:
- File navigation
- Documents tabs (the documents already open)
We can switch from 2 to 1.
But for some baffling reason there is no way to simply switch from 1 to 2. Instead there is only the contrived way of having to open any file in order to return to 2.
I do not know why Goodnote's UI/UX team has been thinking all these years that that be an okay solution. No other programme does this and it is counterintuitive.
Could you please add this? It's so easy to do. E.g. you could add…

Revert change for making shapes change to one line style
A recent update made it so that if I draw 2 differently colored lines originating from the same point and then connected them with a 3rd differently colored line it converts the original 2 lines to be that 3rd color. As a math/engineering student this makes it impossible for me to draw things like vectors with 2 different colors because the app will just automatically convert them to the same color. Please revert this change!

button to jump from Home Screen to Tab View
Goodnotes often opens unexpectedly on the Home Screen (at least after every update).
Please add a button to the Home Screen so that users can easily return directly to Tab View (i.e., the actual working environment).
It's really annoying to have to select an already open file every time just to get back to Tab View.4 votes -
Ability to skew while cropping images.
It would be awesome if we could skew images taken with the app by adjusting the four corners of the rectangular crop independently similar to how microsoft lens works (please see attached photos for example). As it stands I am using that app and then importing the images I take of whiteboards and documents.

Audio recordings improvement for new Update
The new update is not user-friendly at all. The toolbar is difficult to use, and this is especially evident in the audio recording feature. When you start recording, a separate window appears outside the toolbar, taking up screen space and getting in the way. In the previous version, recording was indicated only by a small discreet icon in the toolbar, so writing wasn’t interrupted.
In addition, when you play back the recording, every time you want to stop it and play it again, another unnecessary panel pops up on the left side of the screen, making the process time-consuming.Overall,…

"Destress" & Mindfulness Templates
Since we already have our screens and pencils out for studying, what if GoodNotes added a default category of "Destress" notebook templates?
Instead of just blank or lined paper, these would be templates designed specifically for taking a quick 5-minute mental break. As someone who loves art and sketching to unwind, I think having these built right into the app would be incredibly helpful for student mental health.
Some ideas for the templates could be:
Pages with geometric patterns, overlapping circles, or simple designs to just colour in
Shapes to trace or simple drawing prompts to get your mind off…

Quick view
I’m a frequent Goodnotes user on macOS and rely heavily on it to manage and review a large number of PDF documents.
One feature I strongly miss is the macOS “Quick Look” preview functionality — where pressing the space bar instantly displays a full-size preview of a selected file without fully opening it. This allows for extremely fast navigation through document lists and makes it easy to quickly inspect content before deciding to open a file.
In Goodnotes for Mac, the only available preview is the thumbnail view, which is helpful but too limited for efficiently scanning document contents when…

Number notebooks automatically/ Index
The option to add page numbers to the notebook in a selected font/size and to also add an Index/ Table of Contents that shows up within the document. Similar to how it is in word or other word processing Programs, just a bit simplified.
Basically the option to add the "outline" as a "table of contents page" within the note book and to show numbers on each page correspondingly.

Pin Notes & Folders for Quick Access
I truly appreciate the powerful note-taking experience that GoodNotes offers. However, I would love to see a Pin Notes feature and a Quick Access Folder option to enhance workflow efficiency.
Currently, navigating between different notes for ongoing study, work, or projects requires extra steps, which can be time-consuming. A pinned notes section would allow users to keep frequently used documents easily accessible.

Lock for AI or Math Assist Function possibly even spell check
Those that use the standard versions of Goodnotes for growing minds/education need locks/parent control features. More recently Goodnotes added Ai and math assist which while I could see the benefits of these features, without having locks or parental controls added the student/child would always have the answer at their fingertips. Never having to learn to do math problems, Spelling, ect. on their own. With Locks/pin required for special features it would giver the owner the ability to use as needed.

Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)
Title
Feature Request: Support for Personal Server & NAS Backups (WebDAV / SMB / SFTP / HTTPS API)Body
I would like to suggest adding support for personal server and NAS-based backups in GoodNotes, in addition to the currently supported cloud services.Many users operate their own servers or NAS solutions (such as Synology, QNAP, or self-hosted servers) for data ownership, privacy, and long-term storage. Supporting standard protocols would allow these users to back up GoodNotes data more flexibly and securely.
Suggested supported protocols include:
WebDAV
SMB (Network Share)
SFTP
HTTPS-based API endpoints
Potential benefits of supporting personal server or…

Fully fledged Math integration
Now that graphs are an option, I would like to see this being improved and features being added. I use GoodNotes for maths a lot and I would want to add two graphs in one graph view, set an interval to a graph, recolor the graphs, display intersections with other graphs or the x-axis, support for calculus and equation solving algorithms to find parameters for a polynomial, for instance. That would be beneficial.

Where is my "copy" option when using the lasso tool?
Oh... that's where the copy tool is! Buried behind the ( . . . ) menu, so now in layer two of the context menu when I have circled content I want to copy and move.
Why?
And I do realize there is a Duplicate option but I don't want to drag my content around behind me, I want to have the copied content ready to be pasted multiple times over without it visibly overlaying other content which Duplicate does.
But maybe I am just super old fashioned and want to copy and paste content all the time and therefore…

[Apple Pencil Pro (squeeze) palette] Support toolbar customization
We all use different tools more frequently, and the new squeeze-to-display-palette with the Apple Pencil Pro is fantastic, but it isn't reflecting the new customized order we make in the top toolbar. And of course it should, it seems to me.

Optical Character Recognition Feature
Why can't GoodNotes find certain words from inserted images when I use the search feature? The goodnotes team should really implement an optical character recognition feature, like the ones that one note and notability has. It is so disappointing that we are unable to search for words in a document with images, which would help a lot of students studying in med professions.

Flip/Mirror
It will be a big help for us, engineers, to flip/mirror a certain drawn object selected using lasso tool. Its a good feature for us since we always draw symmetrical figures.

Let users remove all AI bloat from app
I am not going to pretend that NOBODY uses Goodnotes AI but lets be real here, you guys must read what people say online, it is NOT as popular as the updates and focus on AI would make you believe.
But just because its trendy and a fraction of people use it, the rest of us are forced to have this stuff taking up spaces and hogging resources when it provides us with no use whatsoever.
In an ideal world you would have classic Goodnotes being worked on and improved consistently and then a separate Goodnotes AI app for the…

Eraser and writing aids
The eraser tool works but can get glitchy because when you erase it disappears but then it reappears! It should just erase in one go. Then, there are the writing aids that pop up in the bottom. When you click hide, more just keep coming and you can’t focus
