Tip Sharpness, Pressure Sensitivity, and Tip Flatness Options to the Highlighter
I would like to request the addition of tip sharpness, pressure sensitivity, and tip flatness options to the highlighter tool.
With these features, the shape of the highlighter stroke could change depending on the tilt of the pen tip, and setting the tip flatness to 100% could produce a more angular, chisel-like highlighter shape rather than a rounded one.
These controls are essential for achieving more precise, realistic, and professional highlighting behavior, and they would significantly enhance the flexibility and usability of the highlighter tool.

Central task list on user workstation for all ‘selected’ workbooks
I sometimes work with several workbooks in parallel, for example, several projects. I maintain one workbook per project.
It would be great if there were a task function (task type, task, task description, responsible person, deadline, status, task category, relevance indicator in the central task register) that would converge centrally on a user workstation, regardless of which workbook it is in. This would make work much easier. It would allow to-dos recorded in meetings to be managed more effectively without losing track of the big picture.
If it were also possible to synchronise by task type (calendar entry, task entry)…

Smoother typing experience please!
Text tool feels clunky compared to Google Docs
Issue: Copy/paste, selecting text, and typing across pages doesn’t feel smooth or reliable.
Why it’s annoying: The friction breaks flow and makes typed notes feel like a worse experience than handwriting.
Request: Improve the text tool to behave more like Google Docs:Auto-add pages as text grows (no manual page management)
Smoother transitions across pages when selecting/typing/erasing
More reliable copy/paste behavior

[Tape] Show/Hide/Remove All Tapes at Once
After the new tape inclusion, it would be nice to have a button to hide all tapes again or to show the content below the tapes at the same time.

Floating views
When working on math it is very common to have a formula that you need to reference often. At the moment we always just have to either zoom out, or keep scrolling back to the section we wrote it in.
It would be great if we could do some kind of rectangular selection and have just that section of the page become a floating popup window (perhaps as a small square on the opposite side of our writing hand?) showing the contents that we selected, so that we dont have to keep awkwardly navigating through all the pages.
And maybe…

[Audio Recording] Text-to-speech Reader
I use a different app (speechify) to read off pdfs, etc to me. It works really well and helps me get through readings in in uni I would struggle with other wise. However, I much prefer to highlight my readings, etc as a doc in goodnotes. I think such a feature would be immensely helpful for college students in good notes.

Bring back local Favorites filtering within individual folders (instead of just global Favorites)
With recent updates, the option to filter or prioritize favorited documents within a specific folder has been removed. Now, clicking on Favorites just throws every single starred document into one massive global list.
This completely disrupts an organized workflow. When I am working inside a specific folder, I want to be able to filter for or automatically pin the favorites of that exact folder to the top, without having to look at files from completely different projects.
Please bring back local favorites filtering or an option to sort folders by "Favorites First".

Zapier
Subject: Zapier Integration Request - Automate GoodNotes Workflows
Hi GoodNotes team,
I'm a fan of your app and would love to integrate it with Zapier to automate my workflows. Specifically, I'd like to:
Create new GoodNotes notebooks/documents automatically when triggered by events in other apps (like our job management system)
Organize notes based on job details (client name, job ID, etc.)
Optionally export or sync GoodNotes content to cloud storage
Do you have plans to launch a Zapier integration? If so, when might this be available? If not, is there an API or webhook I could use in the meantime?…

font
I found an issue where custom fonts installed on iOS (e.g., via the Bakey font app) do not appear in the font list when Goodnotes 6 uses the new Whiteboard-enabled UI.
Here are the details:
✔ Old UI (no Whiteboard option)
“New note” menu does not show the Whiteboard button
Font toolbar is in the top ribbon
Custom fonts appear normally
✔ New UI (with Whiteboard — released around Sep 25, 2025)
“New note” menu includes a Whiteboard button
Font toolbar becomes a floating popup near the text box
Custom fonts do NOT appear in the font picker

True Black (Pure Black) Dark Mode for Mini-LED / OLED Displays
I use this app on my iPad Pro with a Mini-LED screen. I want a completely black screen, not a dark gray one. This will allow my battery to last longer.

Save Whiteboard background
I'd like to be able to change my default Whiteboard background from Dot Grid & White.
Could be done by:
- Saving the last background used
- Manually saving in the Whiteboard creation screen
This would be very helpful!

Reinstall the “save the font type, size & colour” option again.
This feature was previously there but recently been taken away. It is very cumbersome to custom the type, size and colour of the font every time when i try to write. So this feature called “save as default” option should be there for typing font, size and colour.

Bring back the ability to draw straight lines
After the latest update, drawing a straight line using the shapes tool is often impossible: If the line I'm trying to draw is close to another line it will snap to either a curved line or a straight line in a very different position from where I drew it. This is a major regression.
In the attached picture, I drew a square and attempted (several times) to draw a diagonal straight line from the top left corner to the bottom right corner. The first time it snapped to a vertical line, the second time it snapped to a horizontal line,…

"Path Info" for Folders and Documents
If you have a deep folder hierarchy with a lot of subfolders it is useful to have the option to "show info" to see the folder where a document is saved in, for example if you found it via search. the same thing would be useful for a subfolder.
Ideally you would have a clickable breadcrumb path, for example in a sidebar as others have suggested.

Cuadros de texto
¡Hola! Quería exponer esto en algún lugar para que alguien lo pudiese ver y es que tengo un problema, hace dos días cuando utilizabas un cuadro de texto y cambiabas el tamaño de la letra podías ajustar manualmente el espaciado entre líneas pero ahora ya no, no sé si es un error o que han quitado esa utilidad pero es imposible el poder escribir en los documentos bien.
Mi versión es la de Windows 11, ¡gracias!1 vote -
Grading Instructor-uploading
I think it is critical that an instructor upload version be provided for grading important paper exams. The instructor would upload a PDF with batches of exams. Based upon a template, the batched PDF would be split into submissions. Then each submission would be sorted to the appropriate students and go through the grading process.
This would be useful in cases where students don't have easy access to iPads/styli. Or, where teachers are giving paper exams and don't want students to handle the submission process.

Opacity for the pencil tool
The base opacity of the pencil was changed with a recent update and it’s too light to be used normally now. Add a way to change the opacity so I can make it darker than is currently allowed so I can actually see what I’m writing.

The new unified writing tool is very inconvenient
Hi, I’d like to share some feedback about the new “Unified Drawing Tool.”
I use GoodNotes professionally as a teacher — during presentations, I do live-style writing and drawing on the screen.
In my workflow, I switch very frequently between the pointer, pen, highlighter, eraser, and lasso selection.After the recent update, all the writing tools are grouped under one button, making it much slower to switch tools and really interrupting my work.
For me, it’s essential to have my writing tools on the same toolbar level as the pointer and lasso.Please make this customizable again, or at least…

Lock Zoom
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.
