  1. I would like the ability to search across all documents, not just within a single file.
    For example, if I search for a specific word like “rockxgr” and I don’t know which document contains it, the system should return all document(s) where that text appears.
    In short, a global search feature that scans all documents and identifies where the specified word or phrase is located

  2. I know things autosave, but sometimes new things I write does not and then I lose all the things I wrote notes for my classes.

    To help be more precise for users to know for sure their new edits are saved before closing, add a "SAVE NOW" button!! to prevent any of these issues.

  3. Please give windows users on-device transcripts. It's incredibly unfair and outrageous that only apple users can have unlimited on-device transcriptions while windows users have to pay extra for cloud transcriptions. This is so deeply upsetting that I'm considering switching to a different service.

  4. At the moment, the interface feels noticeably static because most UI elements lack animations. This includes interactions such as opening menus, triggering pop‑ups, switching tools, or navigating between sections. The absence of motion feedback makes the app feel less polished and less responsive especially compared to the iPad and macOS versions.

    Introducing simple, consistent, and minimalistic animations across the UI would significantly improve the overall user experience. Even subtle transitions—such as smooth fades, slides, or scale effects—can make interactions feel more intuitive, modern, and cohesive. These animations don’t need to be complex; they just need to provide visual continuity and…

  6. It would be great if entire folders could be pinned to the tab bar.
    This would allow quick access to frequently used collections of notebooks without having to open each document individually.

  7. Having the ability to save your notes files locally, like a Word or OneNote document. NOT the PDF export of them, but the original note file. This will greately improve offline support and make it a more professional app by making it compatible to NAS sync and storage and greately improve privacy concerns.

    Making a native app instead of a WebApp is a mandatory requirement for this to be implemented.

  9. If needed to customize our own like a table or something to keep track of records etc it would be handy if we could prepare a template and design it and use it over and over again instead of having to write the same thing over again

  13. A simple tool that allows to add a blank margin to either side of the opened document, allowing to take notes on the side of it. Some website allow to modify the pdf to do it, but it’s a pain.

  18. Can you add a feature to directly import PPT and work on them just like IOS, instead of converting them to pdf all the time? As a student this upgrade would be really meaningful and important.

  19. Hi, it would be great if you improve the shape tool. Some ideas:
    1. Have preset list shapes to use by dragging with option to add costume shapes.
    2. Shape design - option to change filling style and have borders.
    3. More shapes to be detected automatically including arrows and round lines the isn’t working so good. Maybe with an option to train it to you handwriting.
    4. Option to create flowcharts easily.
