searchable sticky notes
the sticky notes are searchable while expanded...but the instant you collapse them the content can't be searched..Also image addition to the sticky notes should be feature. And the text in the added images(screenshots) should be searchable as well.

Option to Hide undo/redo button
While writing down reference details of the contents being written in the notes, the undo/redo button often comes above it in the top right/left. Hiding it while using the gestures for undo/redo is a better option in this case.

Fix Goodnotes Storage Management – This Is a Technical Disaster
Goodnotes’ storage architecture is fundamentally broken. My actual library size is ~6 GB, yet the app is bloated to 27 GB on-device. This clearly indicates severe issues with cache invalidation, temporary file persistence, and orphaned/ghost data retention.
Instead of performing routine garbage collection and data compaction, Goodnotes seems to endlessly accumulate redundant assets (thumbnails, partial syncs, stale caches). This is textbook storage leakage — exactly what happens when an app doesn’t properly implement lifecycle management for its local data.
For an app marketed as a professional-grade productivity tool, this level…

Pen color inversion for dark backgrounds and export options
Feature request:
Hi GoodNotes team,
I would like to suggest a feature for better dark mode note-taking.
When the page background is dark, it would be very helpful if pen colors could automatically reverse or adapt for visibility. For example, black handwriting could appear white on a dark background, while still preserving readability.
Also, when exporting notes, please allow users to choose whether the handwriting should be exported as black or white. This would be especially useful because notes that look clear on a dark background may become hard to read when exported or printed.
Suggested options:
Auto-invert pen color…

[Import] Vertical Auto Layout for PDF Import in Whiteboards
When importing a multi page PDF into a GoodNotes whiteboard, the pages are currently placed off to the right and arranged in a grid like layout. This forces users to manually reposition every page to create a readable top to bottom flow.
For large lecture PDFs or study materials, this manual reorganization is inefficient and time consuming.
A significant improvement would be an automatic vertical layout option where PDF pages are imported in a single straight column, stacked from top to bottom, similar to continuous scroll behavior. Ideally, this would be the default behavior, with an optional toggle to switch…

Floatingbar
Please consider adding an option to switch between a fixed and floating toolbar. The floating toolbar is distracting during long study sessions and slows down workflow. A fixed toolbar was much more efficient and comfortable to use. Having both options would greatly improve the user experience.

Make the app actually work again.
The app has become a giant buggy glitch, the basic functions weren’t that great to begin with but the app has become completely unusable.

Grid spacing and ruler should follow standard measurements (2 squares = 1 cm)
I would like to suggest aligning the grid spacing and the ruler in GoodNotes with common measurement standards.
In many countries (for example in Europe), squared paper follows a standardized pattern where two squares equal exactly 1 cm. This standard is widely used in schools, universities, and technical work.
Currently in GoodNotes, however, two squares correspond to about 1.12 cm when measured with the built-in ruler. Because of this mismatch, the ruler becomes difficult to use for precise measurements or technical sketches. Lines drawn using the grid do not correspond correctly to real-world measurements.
This can be especially inconvenient for…5 votes -

Connect an image to a hyperlink (URL)

Create tabs on the side for easier access to the page/content
In Nursing school, we take a lot of notes. I'm sure other subjects else too. But I wish I didn't have to scroll through dozens of pages to find something. I wish I was able to add a little tab on the side, color code it and name it. I know you can "flag" It but it's not very helpful because I have to open the side and then try to find the one page I flagged.
For example. If I download a book - I have to scroll through all the pages to look for the chapters. If the…4 votes -
Tape
Be able to remove tape in the entire deck with one button rather than for a page because when exporting I don’t want the tape, or a button to export without tape

Visible route / direct link back to the document home folder
Visible route / direct link back to the document home folder. When working on a document and leaving it open amongst several other open documents… what folder is the open document link to? What is the route back to that folder? I have many ‘orphaned’ documents that I’d like to link to others…if I knew which folder they were in!?

[Fountain Pen] Lock Nib Angle
When using the fountain pen with Apple Pencil rotation enabled, users must constantly re-adjust their grip to keep the nib horizontal. Locking rotation forces a fixed default angle that often looks unnatural for a fountain pen.
Please add the option to lock the nib at a user-defined angle, for example by letting the user set the angle with a slider so the pen hits the page the same way every time. See image for example. This would greatly improve writing flow, style and comfort.

Study set/Flashcard Editing and Background
I really love these flashcards, but some adjustments would be great
1) if I were able to quickly edit a flashcard when in learning mode that would make things a lot easier, I can delete or add something that I just realised it needed.
2) If they could make it so you can have a preset background colour for your flashcards, rather than having to change the background colour every time you make a new study set.

Improve Search Navigation in Goodnotes
- Search sometimes misses words that are already present in the document.
- Add Match Case and Whole Words search options.
- Navigate directly to the exact location of the searched word instead of only opening the page.
- Preserve the current zoom level when jumping to search results.
- Highlight the searched word after navigation.
- This would be especially useful in Whiteboard mode, where the large canvas makes precise navigation essential.
- A search experience similar to PDF Expert would greatly improve speed and productivity.

hyperlink improvements
To make it quicker to add internal document hyperlinks, we should have the option to be able to TYPE the page numbers instead of individually having to scroll throughout the notebook.

edit imported pdf
It would be great if you can edit imported pdfs directly in the app. Ex. if professors have mistake on slides it would be nice to be able to erase it rather than just scribbling on it, which just makes it look messy and takes up space on page unnecessarily
