1. Stop changing the UI

   As a Goodnotes user for the past 10 years: please stop changing the UI. I know the business and product teams probably feel pressure to keeping adding more stuff to get more users and growth whatever, but you are alienating your hardcore power users that have been recommending this product for 10 years.

   UX Designers: the existing toolbar was great. stop refactoring stuff just because you built a new thing and don't know where to shove it.

   Product Managers: Just make a really solid note taking app. Stop trying to add more stuff in the same app. Whiteboarding should be its own app (I was former head of product at Mural). If you want to experiment with documents, build a separate app.

   If you keep changing it, I will build my own.

2. We Need a Better Search Function

   As much as I love CTRL+F on a keyboard, I can't do the same thing on Goodnotes. I understand that it has some trouble reading messier writing, but even when it successfully finds a word, it does not highlight in a helpful color. I have to search for at least 2 minutes to find it. Also, when you click on the page to go to the found word, the page does not move. Please fix this! It's not helpful!

3. Screen record

   It would be extremely helpful if GoodNotes supported video recording of the note-taking process, including screen capture and optional audio recording. This feature could allow users to:
   • Record lectures or self-explanations while writing
   • Rewatch how notes were created step by step
   • Create educational content or revision videos directly within the app

   Such a feature would be especially beneficial for students, teachers, and content creators who use GoodNotes as their primary digital notebook.

   I believe this addition would further strengthen GoodNotes as a leading tool for education and productivity. Thank you for considering this suggestion and for continuously improving the app.

6. pen & highlighter straight line changing point

   In the newer versions, the blue changing points for drawing straight lines are very big. If you zoom in, it becomes impossible to be exact.

7. 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 NAS backups include:

   Greater user control over data ownership and privacy

   Reduced reliance on third-party cloud services

   Compatibility with enterprise, educational, and self-hosted environments

   Seamless integration with existing backup workflows already used by advanced users

   This feature could be implemented as:

   An advanced or optional backup setting

   A manual configuration option where users enter a server address, credentials, and protocol type

   A feature clearly labeled for advanced users, minimizing support overhead

   For power users, professionals, and institutions that already rely on private infrastructure, personal server and NAS backup support would be a highly valuable addition to GoodNotes.

   Thank you for considering this feature request.

8. Automatically Remove Deleted GoodNotes Files from Cloud Backup

   When using cloud backup (e.g., Google Drive) in GoodNotes, it would be very helpful if deleting files or folders within GoodNotes also synchronized the deletion in the cloud drive.

   Currently, even after files are deleted in GoodNotes, residual files remain in Google Drive, requiring users to manually delete them separately. This creates unnecessary inconvenience and extra management work.

   Please consider adding two-way deletion synchronization between GoodNotes and cloud backup services.

9. Erase all slide annotation - one click

   I am begging you, as a teacher that teaches multiple classes each day to add a feature to erase all annotation on all slides with one click. Right now, we have to erase each slide individually and if you have 20 slides, that takes some time. Then, you have to do that 5 times a day if you teach that class over and over. Please, one click to erase all annotation so we can clear with one click and restart the presentation fresh.

10. 지속되는 오류와 불편함을 항의합니다.

    첨부된 사진을 보시면 한국어로 타자를 칠때 말도 안되는 에러가 나는 경우가 많습니다.
    그리고 매번 타이핑 할때마다 원래 설정해 놓은 폰트가 아닌 갑자기 자동적으로 다른 폰트로 변경되어 매번 다시 원래 폰트로 바꿔야되는 불편함이 있습니다.

    Text Styling 설정에 여러 폰트를 저장해서 사용하고 싶을때 클릭하면 변경할 수 있는 옵션을 넣어주시면 필요한 폰트를 찾을때 마다 계속 들어가서 일일히 바꿔야되는 불편함이 없을거 같습니다.

    그리고 혹시 굿노트를 다른 기기들과 연동할때 아이패드에서 만들어놓은 색 조합을 다른 기기에도 나타날 수 있도록 해주시면 정말 편리할거 같습니다. 매번 각각 기기에 다른 색들이 있으니 같은 색을 찾는 불편함이 있습니다.

    또한 색연필을 쓸때 연하고 얇게 나오다가도 갑자기 오류가 나 두껍게 색칠이 되는 경우도 있습니다. 그래서 매번 다시 앱을 나갔다가 돌아오는데도 괜찮아질때가 있고 안될때도 있어서 공부하다가도 시간을 버리는 경우가 자주 있었습니다.
    그것도 고쳐주시면 정말 감사하겠습니다.

13. larger file size upload & export pdf options (flatten pdf removes links)

    File upload size on paid plans are too small. I am transferrer from IOS to Windows, it only allows 200 MD. I have prewritten notes so the file will be larger, but cannot be uploaded in goodnotes format. PDF download option is only Flatten, which my links does not carry over.

    • larger upload size for paid subscription, even goodnote files
    • allow export in other formats other than flatten!

15. Make "Text Docs" searchable

    You recently introduced "Text Doc". I figured that text within these Text Docs is not searchable. You only find words used in the title of each Text Doc which is obviously limiting.
    I am using iOs devices with iCould sync.

16. 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 I get frustrated by all the extra taps to get to "Copy"?

    Please, just please, make your menu options WAY more flexible or stop rolling out changes for a while.

17. Create a workspace alongside the current document

    Have you used Liquid Text?

    Thay have an amazing feature where it is possible to pull extracts out of documents and display them on a workspace then link the ideas together with drawn lines or links.

    Something like this, not the same obviously that worked with extracts, links and tags would be amazing.

    Thanks for your hard work.

18. flashcard

    Hi, as a language learner, i love the flashcard feature so much! But can you make some features so we can instantly dump our numerous list of vocabulary into one file? Maybe by a simple coding, where we can just copy-paste our list of vocabulary into flashcard. Cause now, it is taking so much time to navigate and make it one by one.

    Thank you so much!
