Show All Open Notebooks” Button
Alright, fellow GoodNotes users — I need to rally some support on this one because it’s driving me crazy that it doesn’t exist yet. 😅
Ever been working in a few notebooks at once — maybe class notes, a planner, a side project — then you accidentally hit Home 🏠… and suddenly you’re like, “Where the hell did my other notebooks go?” Now you’re stuck reopening random ones or creating a new doc just so you can see what’s open.
Yeah. That. 🙃
We need a “Show All Open Notebooks” button or tab added to the main menu. Something simple like:
1. Documents
2. Favorites
3. Search
4. Shared
5. Marketplace
👉 6. All Open Notebooks
Tap it, and boom — there’s a clean view of everything currently open, just like tabs in a browser. No more guessing. No more wasting time digging through Recents or scrolling like a maniac trying to find that one notebook you swear you already had open.
Why this matters:
• It keeps workflow smooth — no more focus breaks.
• It saves time (and sanity).
• It’s perfect for students, professionals, and anyone juggling multiple notebooks.
• It’s such a simple addition that would make GoodNotes feel way more intuitive.
If this sounds like something you’d use (and I’m betting it does), please upvote so the GoodNotes team sees it and makes it happen! 🙏
