  4. dont force the presentation mode on connection to external screen, or at least allow to turn it off. It’s a common use case to use iPad for writing while watching a video on external screen, which is blocked by your presentation

    Hello, I'm a user of GoodNotes 6 and I have a few suggestions and issues I'd like to share:

    Highlighter Layering
    When I write something and then use the highlighter on top, the highlighter covers the text, making it look very blurry. I would really appreciate it if the highlighter could automatically go behind the text by default.

    Search Function
    GoodNotes allows searching handwritten text within a note, which is great. However, it doesn't support searching content within uploaded images. It would be much more powerful if the search function could also recognize and include text within images.

    Split…

  6. 물론입니다. 앞뒤 인사말 없이 기능 요청 본문만 아래에 정리해드릴게요:

    I’d like to request the addition of a “Show in Folder” or “Reveal Location” function for files within GoodNotes.

    Currently, when working with many documents organized into folders, it’s often hard to remember or confirm where a file is located—especially when accessing it from the Recents or Search tab.

    Suggested improvements:
    1. Display the full folder path of any opened file (like in Windows or macOS).
    2. Enable a “Go to Folder” action to quickly jump to the parent folder of the document.

    This would greatly improve navigation and file…

    Subject: Screenshot Feature Request – Easier Access, Auto Copy, and Better Sharing Compatibility

    Dear GoodNotes Team,

    Thank you for developing such a versatile and user-friendly note-taking app.
    I’d like to suggest improvements related to how screenshots are captured and shared from within GoodNotes.

    I often need to take screenshots that include both my handwriting and the file’s background, especially when sharing notes with external tools like ChatGPT. However, having to use the lasso tool each time to take a screenshot is quite inconvenient and time-consuming.

    Here are a few…

  8. I would love to see Goodnotes running natively on visionOS. Right now, I'm using the macOS version with an XP-Pen tablet by mirroring macOS within visionOS, but a native app with support for the Apple Pencil or similar tablets would be ideal!

  9. Online there are tremendously useful AI services that convert a PDF to a set of study cards. It would be amazing to be able to have AI convert notes to study sets automatically.

  10. Live Notes collaboration take too long to update. (takes around 30 seconds to update) Collaboration feature should be immediate, similar to google docs/ slides

  11. Hi Goodnotes team,

    The app is really amazing. Everything is almost perfect in the app.
    Only one feature is missing in this is that there should be a predefined set of shapes that could be dragged and dropped on the canvas. This would be really helpful. Thanks.

  12. Hello GoodNotes Team,

    I use the GoodNotes app daily for studying and journaling, and I’d like to suggest a feature that could make the user experience even smoother.

    Currently, to view two pages side-by-side, I need to enter split mode, which requires multiple steps: pressing the split mode button, selecting GoodNotes again, and reopening the file. While this works, it can be inconvenient, especially for frequent use.

    I’d love to suggest a two-page view that automatically activates when the device is placed horizontally (landscape orientation) without needing additional steps or split mode. This adjustment would allow for a seamless experience…

  13. Above the inserted image, draw "lines, circles, polygons, etc.", click to select "lines, circles, polygons, etc." again, the selected "lines, circles, polygons, etc." will disappear and cannot be selected again. Only after exiting and re-entering will they reappear.

  14. I like to write notes with my pen, BUT I also keep the floating keyboard up as well so I can flit between the two as needed. Currently, whatever zoom amount you view the page, the page is anchored to the middle of the screen. It would be nice to be able to move my page to the side so that I can have my keyboard open without it covering my page. I’ll attach a screenshot of my current view. I’d like to be able to move my page to the left so I can see the whole thing without…

    Audio recordings should be listed in one area, for easier navigation and for easier deleting/clearing of storage space

  16. It would be helpful to have a graph overlay where you can add a transparent graph to help you write in a straight line. It can also be used to adjust your notes the way that you want to help with keeping items straight or aligned.

  18. Ok, so all my bookmarks in a document I want to be able to only see when I scroll the bookmarked pages when I press on it from that tab. For instance, in notability, all your bookmarks in that tab you can just scroll and see all of them. For classes that I have 100+ pages, and I have marked 30 pages of only the relevant material, is very inconvenient that I can only see them in the little square and to go to next book mark page I have to find thumbnail marked. I want to scroll all of…

  19. Allows you to add margins to select pages within your current notebook/file. This will help students who import lecture slides from a professors course page, and then they can "Add Margins" to the slides to provide additional space to take notes instead of having to write cluttered notes directly on the lecture slides. Could have multiple different margin options: increase entire border, or only add extra space above/below, or left/right of the original content.

  20. I love using Goodnotes for studying and working, but I wanted to suggest a small feature that could really improve focus. On iPad, the status bar (with the time, battery, etc.) stays visible at the top while using the app. Personally, seeing the time constantly adds pressure and anxiety, especially during deep work or study sessions.

    It would be amazing if there were an option to auto-hide the status bar, similar to how Notability does it when opening the app. This small change would really help users like me stay focused and less distracted.
