Password protect

It would be great if you had an option to password protect a selected notebook in case you have to create one that would contain sensitive information.

Introducing Password Protection for your documents


To lock a document, tap on the context menu for the document in the library view and set a password. Anytime you try to open, export, duplicate, or delete the document, Goodnotes will ask you for the set password. If you’re using a device that supports FaceID or TouchID, you can use these instead of your password to unlock a document. Please note that you can have only one password that will apply to all locked notebooks and that Password Protection is only available in Goodnotes 6. Learn more


Update to version 6.4.2 in App Store to use Password Protection.

    I really need the password lock function seriously！

  • Catina Chapman commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is REALLY important to me. I have a couple notebooks I’d rather no one have access to without my permission.

  • Christie Burnett-Yarnell commented  ·   ·  Report

    The locking ability is critical to me. I’m not putting top secret information to hide from anyone, I just want some simple password protection so that my kids, friends, etc don’t accidentally open my life journal.

    I get the very strong feeling that the developer has NO plans for this, not now, not ever in the next 120 months... Asking for password protection is never going to happen... Maybe they just have no idea what they are doing...which makes sense as GN5 is just poor...

    Notability has the feature to password protect a folder and I love it, I would love for Goodnotes to have this too, this would allow me to better share my iPad with my students.

  • Sam commented  ·   ·  Report

    New papers, covers, templates are all very nice, but really we need to be able to password protect notebooks

  • Agata commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is such a critical need for me; double-securing personal and work notes is highly important. Please, please add this in soon!

  • Alex F commented  ·   ·  Report

    Critical if adding personal information. Otherwise will have to stop using the app.

  • Mohamad Al-Shaar commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like to be able to lock my notebooks and folders by passwords, for example, I use goodnotes for my diary and for some personal stuff, and people getting into your ipad means that now they can reach all your stuff inside goodnotes, so I really think that it is a good feature to add.

    This was requested a decade ago. Come on, Abe Lincoln, let’s go.

  • Matan commented  ·   ·  Report

    It has been nearly 10 years now. Many people are asking for this feature. Why isn't this being worked on?

  • Steph Liebel commented  ·   ·  Report

    this would be so helpful for nosey roommates, classmates, or significant others! Please do this soon!

  • Behnam commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would extremely love to have this options. It will bring GoorNotes to its highest potentials.
