  2. dont force the presentation mode on connection to external screen, or at least allow to turn it off. It’s a common use case to use iPad for writing while watching a video on external screen, which is blocked by your presentation

  3. 물론입니다. 앞뒤 인사말 없이 기능 요청 본문만 아래에 정리해드릴게요:

    I’d like to request the addition of a “Show in Folder” or “Reveal Location” function for files within GoodNotes.

    Currently, when working with many documents organized into folders, it’s often hard to remember or confirm where a file is located—especially when accessing it from the Recents or Search tab.

    Suggested improvements:
    1. Display the full folder path of any opened file (like in Windows or macOS).
    2. Enable a “Go to Folder” action to quickly jump to the parent folder of the document.

    This would greatly improve navigation and file…

    Subject: Screenshot Feature Request – Easier Access, Auto Copy, and Better Sharing Compatibility

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for developing such a versatile and user-friendly note-taking app.
    I’d like to suggest improvements related to how screenshots are captured and shared from within GoodNotes.

    I often need to take screenshots that include both my handwriting and the file’s background, especially when sharing notes with external tools like ChatGPT. However, having to use the lasso tool each time to take a screenshot is quite inconvenient and time-consuming.

    Here are a few…

  5. I would love to see Goodnotes running natively on visionOS. Right now, I'm using the macOS version with an XP-Pen tablet by mirroring macOS within visionOS, but a native app with support for the Apple Pencil or similar tablets would be ideal!

  6. Online there are tremendously useful AI services that convert a PDF to a set of study cards. It would be amazing to be able to have AI convert notes to study sets automatically.

  7. Live Notes collaboration take too long to update. (takes around 30 seconds to update) Collaboration feature should be immediate, similar to google docs/ slides

  8. Hi Goodnotes team,

    The app is really amazing. Everything is almost perfect in the app.
    Only one feature is missing in this is that there should be a predefined set of shapes that could be dragged and dropped on the canvas. This would be really helpful. Thanks.

  9. Above the inserted image, draw "lines, circles, polygons, etc.", click to select "lines, circles, polygons, etc." again, the selected "lines, circles, polygons, etc." will disappear and cannot be selected again. Only after exiting and re-entering will they reappear.

  10. I like to write notes with my pen, BUT I also keep the floating keyboard up as well so I can flit between the two as needed. Currently, whatever zoom amount you view the page, the page is anchored to the middle of the screen. It would be nice to be able to move my page to the side so that I can have my keyboard open without it covering my page. I’ll attach a screenshot of my current view. I’d like to be able to move my page to the left so I can see the whole thing without…

  12. It would be helpful to have a graph overlay where you can add a transparent graph to help you write in a straight line. It can also be used to adjust your notes the way that you want to help with keeping items straight or aligned.

  14. Ok, so all my bookmarks in a document I want to be able to only see when I scroll the bookmarked pages when I press on it from that tab. For instance, in notability, all your bookmarks in that tab you can just scroll and see all of them. For classes that I have 100+ pages, and I have marked 30 pages of only the relevant material, is very inconvenient that I can only see them in the little square and to go to next book mark page I have to find thumbnail marked. I want to scroll all of…

  15. Can the edit feature for the elements have the same mechanics as when we move notepads/files?

    Currently we get a teeny-tiny screen, and have to drag stickers individually, and click "done". This makes it really frustrating and time consuming to organize stickers, which sometimes get all jumbled on download.

    It would be better to a) be able to select multiple elements and b) drag them to other collections if we want, c) on a larger or full-sized window, and d) to not have all the work undone when we click out of that window. Basically the same mechanics as the…

  16. GoodNotes is the best note taking app for iPad.

    But there is a chunk of the userbase which uses it on their laptops/mac's and use the text feature a lot - both full page writing tool and floating text box alike.

    There's a lot to improve and catch up in these features comparing to dominating industry standards of note taking apps writing tools like in Notion for example.

    GoodNotes could leverage its handwriting features combined with an improved text writing experience to be even more outstanding in the market of note taking apps.

    The improvements include:
    1. Introducing easy via…

  17. I saw that the Windows app beta has been released, I downloaded it and I saw that it is a webapp "hosted" by microsoft edge. I advise you to consider developing the app using Node.js and Electron.js, a fantastic library for creating webapps with HTML, CSS and Javascript. It can also be compiled for windows and all linux distributions. I hope this advice has been useful for the development of this fantastic app. It would be great having GoodNotes even on Linux!

  19. I love the new tape feature but I have A LOT of content that I need to tape over at a time! I would really love it if we had the option to make a box around what we want to tape and have the shape snap and fill in (like we have for the shape snap feature). My only other option currently is to make the pen as big as possible and color over an entire paragraph at once which has been very time consuming!

  20. I suggest for the laser pointer to show up in the notes when you do a voice recording. Not saying for it to stay on the page but would be nice to make notes such as circling something while a professor goes over it without the circle being permanent. Hence the laser pointer function.
