Add more shapes such as semi circle, arc sectors etc.
The shape tool is amazing no doubt but it still lacks some major shapes. If you try to draw a semi circle by a quick stroke it converts it to a straight line, same goes for an arc. This is difficult while taking maths lectures as it requires a lot of shapes. Some shapes that don't work are: semi circle, arc, sector, parabola.

Totally agree with this. The current shape tool is great for basics, but when it comes to teaching math or geometry, missing shapes like semi circles, arcs, and sectors make things harder than they should be. It would really help to have more precise tools for diagrams, especially for explaining concepts like angles, curves, and conic sections.

Adding more precise "shapes" to Good Notes would be fantastic for clear visual communication! This attention to detail is just as crucial in complex written work, especially research proposals. For those looking to Hire professional research proposal editors, I've found Academic Editors to be a resource many rely on for ensuring their ideas are perfectly articulated.

Great points! The shape tool is powerful but definitely needs more flexibility for educational use. For math teachers and students, missing shapes like semi-circles, arcs, and sectors can be a big limitation, especially during live lectures. Tools that support complete geometric expression are essential. White Wolf Publishers supports educational content creators who highlight these gaps, encouraging better tools for teaching and learning. Hope future updates add these much-needed shapes.

These omissions may seem small, but for educators—especially in STEM fields—they create friction where clarity is needed most. Every second spent re-drawing or explaining a mis-shaped diagram is time lost from actual teaching.
In live sessions or video recordings, this can seriously impact flow and comprehension. A visual glitch can snowball into a conceptual misunderstanding.

It's great to hear you value the shape tool! I understand how the absence of key shapes like semi-circles, arcs, sectors, and parabolas can create challenges, especially for math lectures. These shapes are fundamental for illustrating mathematical concepts, and not having them readily accessible can slow down the teaching process. https://www-txtag.com

The shape tool is great, but it could use more versatility—like handling semi-circles and arcs better. Right now, a quick stroke turns into a straight line, which feels limiting. Just like in https://run3game.co Run 3, where every precise move matters, a more responsive shape tool would make designing smoother and more intuitive!

Arrows please!

I also desperately need the curly bracket and more complicated curved arrows!

Sure, here are some additional shapes you may be interested in:
Semi-circle: A semi-circle is a half of a circle, and can be constructed by drawing a circle and then drawing a straight line through the center of the circle to create two equal halves.
Quarter-circle: A quarter-circle is a quarter of a circle, and can be constructed by drawing a circle and then drawing a straight line through the center of the circle to create four equal quarters, then choosing one of the quarters.
Arc: An arc is a portion of a circle's circumference. It can be created by drawing a circle and then selecting a portion of its circumference.
Sector: A sector is a portion of a circle enclosed by two radii and an arc. It can be created by drawing a circle and then selecting a central angle and the two radii that enclose it.
Ellipse: An ellipse is a closed curve that resembles a stretched circle. It can be constructed by drawing two points called foci, and then drawing a curve that connects all points such that the sum of the distances between each point and the foci is constant.
Parabola: A parabola is a U-shaped curve that is symmetric about its vertex. It can be created by graphing a quadratic equation in the form of y = ax^2 + bx + c.
Hyperbola: A hyperbola is a curve that resembles two mirror-image parabolas that open away from each other. It can be constructed by drawing two points called foci, and then drawing a curve that connects all points such that the difference of the distances between each point and the foci is constant. https://www.c4yourself.ltd/

Also line with two curve , arrow and cloud shape

Looking for the same tool. It could be useful if you can change the curve of a semi-circle for example like Notability, especially for bridges’ designers for drafts

Thanks for the content you shared. I am looking for the same info.

More control on the shapes and their control point would be great too.
