  1. It would be nice to have the last worked page on the mac version show up on reboot. It is quite difficult to find and open the file we are working with each time.

  2. To align to existing text on the page with different amounts of indentation, it would be nice to have a vertical guide that appears when using the Zoom window that could be moved to the text you want to align to on the "real" page while also displaying in the Zoom window as well.

  4. This feature request suggests implementing in-place PDF editing functionality that allows users to edit PDF files directly from their file paths while preserving their personal file management preferences.

    With in-place PDF editing, users can seamlessly open PDFs in their original locations, make edits, and save modifications without creating duplicate copies. This streamlines the editing process and avoids disrupting established file management structures.

    This feature empowers users to store PDFs wherever they prefer, alongside related content, while retaining the file's original location. It respects users' organizational choices and eliminates the need for manual file rearrangement.

  5. I love using auto-advance in the zoom box for handwriting notes etc. However, it would be nice if the auto-advance recognized the specific page template being used (given that it is a page template provided by good notes). For example, when using the two-column page template, the auto advance should move you down to the next row in that column rather than have you continue writing across the page. It is a small adjustment that would make a world of a difference.

  7. For example the option that recognizes what you are drawing for more complex forms like hexagons or hyperbolic function would probably help expecially for a more scientific use.

  9. Please add handwriting to text for Gaeilge. It’s such a good app but we can’t convert our notes to text as it just sees it as Chinese. All primary teachers in Ireland use Gaeilge on a daily basis. Please add this support.

  11. ヒラギノ角ゴシックなど、多くの有料フォントを取り入れてくれているが、
    選択できる太さの数が少ないという欠点もある。

    太さを増やすことで、よりよりノートテイキングに繋がるように思う。

  12. When working with numerous graphs, it is challenging to achieve curves that accurately capture the trends of my data or functions. It would be beneficial to have more freedom in drawing curves. Adding additional points beyond the standard three would take the app to the next level

  15. It would be very helpful to see the size (in MB, GB, etc.) of each note/document/folder/notebook in GoodNotes. That way, we can see which files can be deleted to recover more space on our devices and on iCloud.

  16. A eye dropper for the pen and high lighter because a lot of people use this app to study or for calendars (including myself) and some people like to group things with high lighters or underline and it’s pretty hard going back and checking if you got the right color or if it’s slightly lighter or darker especially with the highlights

  18. Since we have vertical scroll, i would like to see an option for chapter scrolling.
    For Example: If vertical scroll is enabled (for pages), you can use horizontal scroll for scrolling through chapters. If pages scroll horizontal, chapters could scroll vertical.

    Together with page links - i think - this could be a great boost for structuring notebooks and usability.

    This may include the creations of chapters or - if not possible - using outlines (as "start" of chapters)

  19. Now I am constantly reminded to study something that I no longer need. With a deadline for the flashcards function, the system would stop informing me when the exam was written.

  20. It would be useful to have the option of keeping a fixed line thickness when scaling. Proportional scaling as it is is great and very useful, but it would be good to have both. Say you have made up a bunch of graphs and saved them as stickers, you don't want the line thickness of the axes to scale with the overall size of the graph. I would find this feature useful in iOS/Mac as well.

    (If it's a headache to implement I'd rather GoodNotes stay unbloated.)
