   When the device is on dark mode, have text and pdfs invert colors (similar to apple notes and new dark mode on notability).

2. bring back the arrow keys to move the cursor when typing

   I use goodnotes without an external keyboard and I found extremely useful the left/right arrow keys to move the cursor when typing because many times it is not easy to place the cursor exactly in the desired position.

   Can you bring them back?

3. Feature Idea: A Simple Way to Add Margins to PDFs

   Hello, and thank you for this amazing app. Here is a suggestion to make it even better for those of us who read and annotate dense documents.
   • The Problem: Imported PDFs (like academic papers, textbooks, etc.) often have very small margins, making it difficult to write notes directly on the page.
   • The Solution: Please add a feature to insert blank margins or "padding" around the entire PDF page.
   • Why it Helps: This would allow users to keep all their thoughts and annotations on a single page, right beside the original text, which is perfect for studying and research. A simple implementation would be more than enough.
   I've created an image to show exactly what I'm proposing. Please take a look.
   Thank you for your time and for developing such a fantastic tool.

6. It would be fantastic if the laser pointer could also be used to hide and unhide the tape in my notes

   It would be fantastic if the laser pointer could also be used to hide and unhide the tape in my notes!

   I suggest this because during my exam revision I use the laser pointer tool to quickly write the answer to what the tape is concealing. I then have to switch tool to the tape tool to uncover the tape and check my answer.

   Why not have the laser pointer tool hide and unhide the tape in my notes?

7. Add packages for new symbols for math mode

   Add a way for users to add new packages to the preambles of the LaTeX used for the AI, sometimes we just want to use a new symbol and can’t make it because the math mode won’t recognize it. It would be really helpful.

9. copiable markdown format

   As a beta user, I surprisingly find that text mode is available for markdown format. However, when trying to copy what I wrote to other program like obsidian etc, everything ruined. This is a disaster for user who use different software in different platforms!!!!

10. callout

    I would like to see the ability to add a callout to a notebook page. This would be a small colored block on which text could be written or typed with an arrow or other indicator to a point on the page. This would be similar to a GN post-it note, but it would have an arrow associated with it. My thought is that it would be useful for the callout to be low opacity until it is touched, at which time it would have 100% opacity so it can be read, and then when touched again would return to low opacity. This would make the underlying notes easy to read under the callout. there also could be an option for the opacity always to be high.

    Callouts are useful when adding comments or notes to content, either to oneself or to collaborators. They are sort of like an informal footnote.

    Callouts are common in Word, Acrobat and several other reader/editors, with various shapes for the box and the location indicator. Those should be reviewed for alternative appearances.

11. Implement Apple's Stroke Prediction for Best Pencil Latency

    Owning an iPad Pro with an OLED screen with fantastic pixel response, I can't but go back to Apple Notes to enjoy the note taking experience with almost no perceivable latency and instant real-life note taking experience.

    Unfortunately GoodNotes 6 has a noticeable latency that can be eliminated if the team can implement the same algorithms used in Apple Notes app.

    To repreduce this you can draw a straight line on a blank page from the bottom of the iPad to the top, you'll see a gap on GoodNotes 6 between the tip of the pencil and the line as you're drawing it. There's no gap seen when done on the Notes app.

    GoodNotes team, please allow stroke prediction toggle or whatever improved PencilKit magic that Apple is using in their OS. Thanks!

12. palettes

    I love the app and use it daily across iPad + Windows. But I’m hitting the same wall every single session: there’s no way to save separate, named pen color palettes for different contexts.

    My workflow swings between:

    White backgrounds (lecture slides, lab reports) → darker inks

    Black backgrounds (my own notes) → lighter/pastel inks

    Right now I’m forced to maintain one long presets strip and manually hunt/eyedropper colors each time. It’s slow, error-prone, and breaks focus. After months of this, it’s honestly pretty frustrating because color is a core UX primitive in note-taking.

    What I’m asking for (minimum viable solution):

    Named palettes (e.g., “Light Paper,” “Dark Paper,” “Highlighters”).

    Per-document palette memory (a notebook remembers which palette it last used).

    Quick toggle (one tap / keyboard shortcut / long-press on the color dot to switch palettes).

    Auto-switch by paper color (optional: when the page/background is dark, default to a designated “Light Inks” palette).

    Import/Export palettes so I can share between iPad, Mac, Windows, and teammates.

    Even just (1) + (2) would remove dozens of taps per day and keep me in flow. I’m a student in engineering; the time savings and reduction in accidental low-contrast marks would be massive across long study sessions.

    Happy to provide a short Loom of the current workaround and test any beta. Please escalate this to product/UX—this feels like one of those small features that compounds into a huge quality-of-life win for a lot of us.

    Thanks for listening, and for building a great app. I really want to keep Goodnotes as my daily driver—this would make that choice easy.

13. Eliminate long press features

14. Tape removal

    Currently, when I use the tape feature to cover text or images in my documents, I must manually remove the tape on each page if I want to export a PDF without those overlays. This process can be time-consuming, especially for larger documents.

    Would it be possible to add an option to export a PDF document without the tape annotations? An export setting that automatically removes or hides all tape elements would greatly streamline the workflow for users who wish to share clean documents without manually editing each page.

15. The ability to draw a line and automatically see its real-world length based on a set scale.

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I am a regular user of GoodNotes and I truly appreciate its intuitive interface and powerful tools for working with PDFs and handwritten notes. However, there is one feature that I—and many others in fields like architecture, engineering, and construction—am missing:

    👉 The ability to draw a line and automatically see its real-world length based on a set scale.

    Currently, it is only possible to measure distances using the ruler tool and manually set a scale. But when I draw a freehand line (without the ruler), GoodNotes does not display the length of that line. This makes it difficult to work with scaled drawings or construction plans, where quick distance checks are essential.

    Feature request:
    • Allow users to draw a line and have GoodNotes automatically calculate and display the line’s length, based on a previously defined scale.
    • Ideally, this would also work for multiple connected lines (e.g. paths or polygon shapes).
    • Optionally: Export the measured values as text annotations.

    This would make GoodNotes much more useful for professionals and students working with technical drawings.

    Thank you for considering this request!

16. remember options for export

    every time I export my document to a PDF the options are restored to their default values. I should be able to choose these defaults, or at the very least remember my preferences. For example, every time I export I have to deactivate "Enable Handwriting Recognition". One time should be enough!

    Firstly, kudos to the team for introducing markdown documents!

    What I need to use it actively:

    1. Support for markdown documents on Goodnotes web (Critical)!

    Reason: I use Goodnotes at work for my personal notes as well. However, I can't download the goodnotes windows app on my work laptop. I also use a windows pc and I can't get the markdown feature there.

18. Tape toggle to reveal/cover all tapes at once without removing

    Can you change the "Remove all tape" button to a toggle, or make a separate toggle tool to temporarily remove/transparent all tape so when we are not using it, we have the option of reading our notes fully without having to delete all tape and reapply them when needed.

    I love the tape feature and I believe it is very useful, but it would be time-consuming to click 'Remove all tape' and reapply them back, or manually tap on each individual tapes when you want to reveal everything when you're read all your notes and when you want to cover everything to test your memory retention.

19. Notes taking for Engineering students / professionals

    Being an engineering professional this apps is not very conversant in taking Engg notes. It is requested to incorporate following.
    1. Either allow to paste tables from excel sheets which should be editable or develop a tool to create table easily.
    2. Allow to embed word file into Goodnotes. Also allow subscripts and superscripts like that in word.
    3. Develop or create symbols to insert scientific, maths, geometry, Greek small
    & capital.
    4. Also insert function .
    5. Most important while writing maths formulae it should be very easy and smooth. At present most of the time Goodnotes do not recognise easily the handwritten mathematical formulas and expressions while converting them to maths. Notability and Nebo are better and easy in writing mathematical expressions than Goodnotes , so please improve.
    6. Copy paste from google must be allowed ie text and images like that it is done in ms word.
    Thanks

20. Bilder und Text anpassen

    Bilder horizontal oder vertikal ausgerichtet anordnen, so dass man auch einfach die gleiche Größe wählen kann.
    Leider fehlt nach dem Update die Möglichkeit, die Hintergrundmaterial von Textfeldern individuell zu wählen.
    Und mehrere Bilder aus einem Ordner auf einmal einfügen.
