Inline LaTeX support for typed text in GoodNotes
Hi GoodNotes team,
I’m a heavy GoodNotes user on [iPad / Mac / iPhone] and I absolutely love using the app for studying and taking math/technical notes.
I’ve noticed that GoodNotes currently doesn’t support inline LaTeX rendering in regular typed text (for example, writing $x^2 + y^2 = 1$ in a text box and having it render as nicely formatted math). I know you have great math / equation tools, but those generate separate equation objects rather than letting us mix math and normal text seamlessly in the same paragraph.
For students and professionals in math, statistics, physics, engineering, and…

[AI Connectivity] External AI Use MCP or API
Would it be possible to allow students to use their own personal AI subscription in GoodNotes? While you have a decent and well-integrated system going right now, myself and many others would benefit from a quick and easy way of giving an external AI like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini the context of the documents in GoodNotes. I'm not saying to ditch your own AI, I'm just asking to see if you can give Agents context through MCP or API or something.

Organization of a Notebook
One of the key ways OneNote is useful is the organization of sub-tab structure so one class notebook can have multiple sections. I have to swipe right a million times to get to my notes for class number 9 in a syllabus.

Native table feature with directly typeable text fields
Currently, there’s no way to insert a real table in GoodNotes that you can type into directly with the keyboard — like you can in Apple Notes, for example. Right now you either have to draw the table entirely by hand (lines/shapes) and then place individual text fields for each cell, or import a finished table from Word/Excel as a PDF and overlay text fields on top of that as well. Both approaches are cumbersome, especially for larger tables.
It would be great if GoodNotes could add a native “Insert Table” feature where you set the number of rows and…

"Bold" Highlighter
I would love to suggest a new feature for the highlighter tool. Instead of adding a fluorescent background color, it would be amazing to have a specific highlighter that simply makes the selected text (handwritten or typed) bold.
This would be incredibly useful for emphasizing certain words or sentences cleanly, without cluttering the page with too many bright colors. It would keep notes looking professional and easy to read. Thank you for considering!

update study sets
please update study sets
i use it a lot for studying but it’s so difficult to use, for example:- currently you cannot press the apple pencil barrel to automatically turn to eraser (!!!!)
- when zooming into top left corner, you cannot write because the undo button blocks it
- add template options - currently it’s only a blank card, it would be better if there were lines to write on (!!!!)
- allow copy and pasting individual flashcards
- study sets are so laggy and most of the time when i make a new flashcards and write on it, it does not show…

Create a setting to bring back constant pen hover preview
Goodnotes used to always display a preview of the tool; however, now it only shows when you select a new one or move the pen away from hover distance and back.

Adjust default darkness/opacity of Pencil Tool for Apple Pencil (USB-C)
Hi Goodnotes team,
Currently, the Pencil tool in Goodnotes is extremely faint and barely visible when using the Apple Pencil (USB-C), making it practically unusable for daily note-taking.
Since the Apple Pencil (USB-C) lacks physical pressure sensitivity hardware, Goodnotes seems to default to the lowest pressure level (minimum opacity).
Could you please optimize the Pencil tool for styluses without pressure sensitivity? Specifically, please set the default stroke darkness to a standard, legible level (equivalent to normal/medium pressure) when pressure data is absent, or add an opacity slider so users can adjust the base darkness manually. This would greatly help users…

Exact Phrase Search
Exact Phrase Search – The search function can sometimes be too broad. An “Exact Phrase search option would be very useful for finding specific words or phrases without unrelated results.
- Default Font for Sticky Notes – Please add an option to set a default font, font size, and formatting specifically for Sticky Notes, so users don’t have to manually change the font every time they create a new one.

Bolding handwriting
The new handwriting optimization tool is great. However it would be nice to have more options of handwriting as they all look the same and the option to bold it or change the width.

Bring Back "command" + "+" for Zoom in and "Command" + "-" for Zoom out
Please bring back the 'Command +' and 'Command -' keyboard shortcuts for zooming in and out. I rely on mouse shortcuts for my workflow; without these, I am forced to use the trackpad, which significantly slows down my efficiency.

Sync pencil settings between devices
Pencil settings like Color and thickness should be synced between all devices using the same GoodNotes account. So you can use the same Color for highlighters across all devices.

Categorize
Hi goodnotes is my go to app and searching accros 500 folders is becoming tedious so allowing pdf to have "tags" for example: my course note in algebra I put the tags "Course note" and "Algebra" and I can filter and find It in 2 seconds instead of putting it in favorite and look at all the others files that are favorited.

Allow text sizes below 8pt (1–7pt)
Hello, thank you for always providing a wonderful app.
I would like to request a feature regarding the text tool in GoodNotes 6.
In the current version, the minimum font size is fixed at 8pt.
However, in previous versions, being able to use 1–7pt was extremely helpful for writing small annotations, subscripts, chemical formulas, and compact notes.If possible, I would greatly appreciate it if you could:
・ Allow font sizes below 8pt again (1–7pt)This function would benefit many users who need fine, detailed writing.
Thank you very much for your consideration.18 votes -
Change thickness of Writing After Already Written
It'd be very useful to be able to change the thickness of writing after I have already written something. I often forget to change the thickness when I write and when I go back to edit. Just expanding the written text is NOT the same and makes it very difficult. Often, I have to delete the text and rewrite it, which wastes a lot of time. I have a friend who complains about it too, so it's good to know it's not just me. But please... I need this.

[Highlighter] Automatically Set Highlighter to Back Layer
I noticed that the recent update allows highlighter and other objects to be manually selected and then “send to back”. I like that this feature allows for highlighter to be positioned behind text, but it would be useful if there was an option to have that automatically done or to have the highlighter tool set to automatically send highlighter to back layer once a line is drawn using it. Adding a toggle on the highlighter menu so users can select to automatically have highlighter “send to back” would be amazing.

[Toolbar] Floating Formatting Toolbar Blocks Content
The floating text formatting toolbar covers content above the text box, making it difficult to read or present PDFs while typing. This is especially disruptive during screen sharing or teaching sessions. The user prefers the previous toolbar placement or an option to choose between the old and new layouts.

Fix shape editor. Return old UI!!
Put the old snare editor back. The new one is unintuitive and unhelpful. Instead of being able to edit a shape I get nonsensical points to move around.
