  1. A pen that automatically underlines with A squiggly line like the freenotes app does. Also, an automatic handwriting to make sloppy handwriting into better handwriting without having to use the typing tool like the free notes app does. If you do this, the app would be perfect!

  2. Hi, so I use Goodnotes mainly for math. The way I use it it by downloanding the PDF of a book, read it chapter by chapter and do the exercised on a sticky note inside of the book. The problem is that the sticky note often covers up the exercise (if I have a long exercise) and i have to constantly move the sticky note around when I want to read it again. It would be cool if one could make the stickynote transparent, either permanently or toggle transparent when long holding on the sticky note. Thank you!

  3. I think it would be a great idea if you can lock the page at specific zoom setting. It is very hard to adjust my comfortable zoom size every time I unzoom. Having 'Lock zoom' feature showing speciifc percentage of zoom to show how much you zoomed the page will be very useful.

  5. Allow us to form perfect arrows when using draw and hold. It often slows my progress switching between the Pen Tool and the Shape Tool, and I'd much rather have the ability to automatically make an arrow using draw and hold, just like other shapes

  6. Hi!
    I’d love a feature that allows users to lock image position on the page.
    Right now, when writing or moving handwritten notes over an inserted image, the image often gets accidentally moved as well.
    This would be especially useful for students annotating diagrams, anatomy images, slides, or study materials.
    A simple “Lock Image” option would make note-taking much smoother.

  8. I think Goodnotes Smart Learn seriously needs a daily card limit system similar to Anki.

    Right now Smart Learn can become very aggressive with recommendations when you have a huge number of flashcards.

    Imagine being a med student with:

    • separate study sets for every chapter
    • thousands of flashcards
    • eventually 20,000–30,000+ total cards

    At that scale, unlimited recommendations can become stressful and mentally overwhelming.

    I think there should be a feature where users can set:
    “Smart Learn can only recommend X cards today”

    Example:

    • Today limit = 200 cards
    • Smart Learn then intelligently chooses the MOST important 200 cards from all…

  9. Feature request:

    Hi GoodNotes team,

    I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.

    When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.

    Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.

    Suggested options:

    Auto-invert pen color…

  10. I think part of handwriting with pen/pencil is ruining your page with endless eraser marks. To mimic the slow and deliberate process of writing on physical paper, I'd like there to be the option where pen cannot be erased and the entire page must be tossed. You can implement a 2-step verification feature for those that really want to modify their pen marks so they don't have to restart a cheat sheet if their pen slips...

  11. This option adds a 2,5 inch margin at the right side of the document for annotating. The margin is collapsible afterwards or can be kept open permanently. This way one can annotate on PDFs with tiny margins without having to compress all the info.

  12. Please look at the attached photo. Does this look normal to you? Even after hiding the status bar to secure more screen space, it still looks like this. It is extremely irritating that one-fifth of the screen is wasted for stacks of some 'bars' that are useless 95% of the time, and I want to hide ALL OF THEM immediately.

    1. Please make it possible to enable read-only mode + hide tab bar + hide tool bar even while writing.

    I simply want to take notes in full screen. I…

  14. Tape도 펜처럼 직사각형을 그렸을때 안에가 채워지면 좋겠습니다. 그리고 그 위에 필기를 할 수 있도록 하여 포스티잇 처럼 눌렀을때 그 밑에 내용을 볼 수 있고 다시 누르면 위에 내용을 볼 수 있도록 할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다. 이렇게 하면 특히 오답 학습을 할때 매우 효과적이고 실용적으로 사용할 수 있다고 생각합니다

  16. Although GoodNotes AI is currently somewhat limited, I hope it evolves to include a wide range of features similar to the Chromium browser extension Sider.

    • Support for multiple AI models beyond the standalone GoodNotes AI model using a credit-based system (e.g., GPT-5.4, Gemini 3.1 Pro, Claude Opus 4.6, Claude Sonnet 4.6, etc.)
    • Screenshot functionality
    • File attachments (• Supported: web pages, PDF, DOC, XLSX, CSV, JPG, JSON, MP3, WAV, M4A, MPGA, etc. • Limits: up to 6 files, maximum 100MB per file)
    • Read this page aloud
    • Artifacts: Easily create and present within the GoodNotes document window, enabling real-time interaction and a…

  17. I recently switched to a system in which I'm taking notes using a Rocketbook, then putting those PDF scans into Goodnotes to store and annotate into notebooks for each class. I would love if there was some features for that in particular.

    • The ability to use precision eraser directly on the PDF. (I want to erase this diagram I drew! Or erase it then resize! Having to cover it with a shape is way to finicky, it makes adding new content over the shape very difficult.
    • The ability to edit the color of text! I only use Black pens, so…

  18. I really appreciate that you can set a default font type and size for text boxes. It's really helped me streamline my notes when needed. I also really love the sticky note feature, but it's quite time consuming to change the font type and size when typing on sticky notes.

    It would be amazing if a future update would give you the option of setting a default font type and size for typing in sticky notes! Thanks!

  19. Have the ability to mark a notebook as a “favorite” within the notebook when it is open. I like to use this feature so I can find specific notebooks more easily within all of the folders. I sometimes forget to make one a favorite and accidentally close it and it can be challenging to find it once its closed.

  20. “smart" auto-adjustment that changes the physical pen thickness (e.g., from 0.5mm to 0.2mm) like the laser point have while we zoom in & zoom out.

    This feature would be great & much helpful instead of manually clicking & adjusting the pen thickness.
