  1. Please make it possible to move the toolbar location to the bottom of the screen in macOS. The feature is available on iPad but not on the macOS version. Also consider making it possible to have the tabs on the bottom and the toolbar on either the left or right side. As a teacher using GoodNotes for instruction in my classroom, having these options will make GoodNotes easier for me to use during lessons.

  2. Enable the option to store a file exclusively on the drive, while still appearing in GoodNotes as an online-only file. This feature would help free up valuable storage space on iPads and Macs, providing users with a seamless experience of accessing their files without overloading their device’s '.

  4. Sometimes when I scroll through my pages, perhaps to search for one or take a quick look, the app jumps to a page selected earlier in the middle of writing. Sometimes it always jumps back to the first page and sometimes it happens only after scrolling many pages. This is the most annoying bug I've ever had and it drives me crazy. My classmates are effected by this bug too and we all use Goodnotes 5 on Ipad.

  6. Dear GoodNotes Team,

    I would like to suggest adding a feature that displays the file path or folder location of a document when searching within the app.

    Currently, when I search for a document, I can see the title but not the folder it’s stored in. This becomes inconvenient when I have multiple documents with similar names across different folders. Being able to view the folder path directly in the search results would greatly improve file organization and navigation, especially for users who manage large numbers of documents.

    Thank you for considering this feature. I believe it would enhance the…

  7. When importing a PDF, when the window pops up that asks you if you want to import into the current document or make it a new document, you should be able to change the file name in that window when you switch from the default “import to current document” to “import as new document”. Currently, if you choose to import it as a new document, it won’t let you change the file name until after you import. Would be more streamlined to allow this at the import phase rather than after.

  9. Since the "Convert" feature was added to the Lasso tool in GoodNotes 5, the response time for the entire Lasso menu has become significantly slower, especially when a large amount of content is selected. I personally do not use the Convert feature, yet it affects overall performance. I would appreciate it if you could add an option to disable the Convert feature for users who don't need it.

  10. 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…

  12. 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.

  13. 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…

  15. 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.

  16. 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.

  17. 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…

  18. 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. Do you think possible to add new feature to create "flashCard on the fly" inside document creation ?

    My idea is to have new tool/feature to convert part of document to become flash card attached to document.

    With this, no need to switch between document and flash card area.
    => "just", we determine part of document to become flash card element (link, ...) ;-)

    Thanks a lot for this tool ;-)
