  1. Rectangle professional looking highlighter. Like in microsoft word, adobe acrobat reader or apple books.
    Current one looks unprofessional with business or legal documents.

  2. We need a box for FAVOURITE TEXT STYLES.
    For my documents I use different fonts but each font is associated with a different text size and line spacing. it's very difficult for me to change the text and every characteristic each time in order to have the style I want, instead it would be very useful if I had a box with my favourites.

  3. In many exam settings, students are allowed to bring handwritten notes but not digitally written ones, even if created with a stylus on a tablet. To address this, I’m looking for a solution that makes digital notes look convincingly handwritten when printed.

    What I’m looking for:

    A pencil/brush tool with a slight grain, natural imperfections, and subtle color variation within a stroke — something that mimics real pencil or pen handwriting.

    Alternatively, a filter or export option that can be applied to a digital notebook (e.g., on an iPad) to make the final printout resemble authentic handwritten notes.

    The goal…

  5. GoodNotes is great, and I really like the audio recording feature. However, right now, recordings are only displayed as a list within the note, and their names are set by default and cannot be customized. This makes it hard to associate specific recordings with the content of the notes. My lecture notes are often very long (over 300 pages), and after some time, I have no idea which recording corresponds to which section of the notes. I hope GoodNotes can support a feature where a recording can be dragged or inserted directly into the document and displayed as an icon…

  6. It would be great if you could load templates and stickers purchased in the shop directly into the template option (not just one page but all items that were purchased). It would also be very useful for stickers if they would simply appear in the sticker menu.

  7. Dear programmers,

    Please, Allows us to use shortcut to change colors while using Keyboard for take notes. That’s really useful… we need to use hand/pencil to change colors and this take some time.
    Example: cmd + r (change to red) or maybe we could setup our preferences though
    Bye bye bets programmers in intire swift world. Haha

  8. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I hope this message finds you well.

    I am writing as a dedicated user of GoodNotes to express my appreciation for the remarkable tools and features your application offers. It has greatly enhanced my note-taking and productivity experience.

    I would like to humbly suggest the addition of a Freeform paper type—similar to the canvas style used in Apple’s Freeform app. As someone who often works with brainstorming, concept mapping, and creative planning, I find that a limitless canvas significantly supports fluid thinking and non-linear organization of ideas.

    While the existing page templates are incredibly useful for structured…

  11. 是否可以考虑在goodnote5加goodnote6的账户功能,并允许和apple id进行关联。以方便在设备切换不同id的情况下仍然可以正常使用。这不应该成为goodnote6的专有权利。
    Is it possible to consider adding the account function of goodnote6 to goodnote5 and allowing it to be associated with apple id? To facilitate the convenience of normal use when the device switches different ids. This should not be the exclusive right of goodnote6.

  12. When writing continues from the current page to the next, the next page should be automatically added, and the handwriting should seamlessly extend to the following page rather than being "cut off" or "eaten" by it. (Similar to the writing experience in Notability, which handles this particularly well.)

  13. There should be a keyboard shortcut for the Laser Pointer tool in GoodNotes. There are other keyboard shortcuts for pen, highlighter,,. but why is the Laser Pointer the only one without it?" Please add one as soon as possible.

  15. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I have another feature suggestion that could greatly enhance the experience of using audio recordings within notebooks.

    Currently, when we start a voice recording and take notes by hand or typing during the recording, there’s no way to later connect specific notes to the exact moment they were written.

    My suggestion: it would be incredibly useful if, after saving the recording, I could tap on a word or note I wrote during the session, and the audio would jump directly to the exact minute and second when that note was taken.

    This feature would be a game-changer…

  16. Hi Goodnotes team,

    I’d like to share a recurring issue I’ve been experiencing, along with a suggestion that could significantly improve the user experience.

    I usually work with notebooks in vertical (portrait) format, which fits best with my study and workflow preferences. However, when I import a PDF created in PowerPoint (which typically has a horizontal/landscape layout), Goodnotes automatically changes the entire notebook’s format to horizontal, while still keeping the original vertical page size centered on the screen. This results in huge side margins and forces me to constantly zoom in and out to work with the content properly. I’ve…

  17. I would love a way to shift everything below a certain point down. Right now, I have to do a thousand lassos, or just erase and rewrite with the extra stuff in super tiny handwriting.
    I’d like to draw a line with the lasso and have everything move down some set amount of space (width of a line or whatever divider your page background is).

  19. Please provide support so that the contents of the sticker memo can also be searched. I tried several tests, but I had the problem of not being able to find important information because the contents of the sticker memo were not searchable. thank you

  20. Allow the user to specify a default notebook for quick notes. If not specified, use a system default notebook. Never close an open notebook when starting a new quick note (open the specified default notebook or the system default notebook in a new tab if they are not already open)
