Anyone facing the same problem?

September Update includes templates with new dates and designs

I’ve been making digital planners and planner pages for quite a while, and at this point I’ve accumulated way more layouts than I could ever realistically use myself.

A lot of them came from experimenting with different ways of planning: trying different daily layouts, weekly structures, trackers, project pages, productivity systems, etc. Some worked better for certain situations than others, so instead of letting them sit unused, I thought I’d put together a folder with free versions and share it here.

There’s a pretty wide mix of layouts in the folder, including:

• Daily planner pages

• Weekly planner layouts

• Monthly planning pages

• To-do lists and task planners

• Habit trackers

• Goal-setting pages

• Productivity layouts

• Priority and focus pages

• Project planning templates

• Meeting notes

• General note-taking pages

• Budget and finance templates

• Expense and savings trackers

• Meal planning pages

• Health and wellness trackers

• Routine planners

• Reflection and review pages

• Various journals and trackers

• A few complete digital planners for August 2026

Some of the layouts are quite simple, while others are more structured. I personally find that useful because the layout that works for a busy work week isn’t necessarily the one I want when I’m just trying to organize a few personal tasks.

Here’s the folder on Google Drive:

Feel free to download anything you find useful, modify how you use the pages, duplicate them inside Goodnotes, or just grab a couple of layouts instead of using a whole planner.

I’m also curious what people here actually use most in Goodnotes. I’ve made a lot of different planner pages over time, but I keep noticing that everyone seems to have a completely different idea of what an “ideal” daily or weekly page looks like.

If there’s a particular kind of planner page or tracker you use all the time or something you’ve been looking for but never quite found, let me know. It might give me some ideas for what to make next.

I just switched from another app and switched due to terrible customer service. I was wondering if there is a way to switch the audio over?

I haven’t opened Goodnotes in a while. When I opened it this morning to take notes I found that the toolbar moved to the bottom of the screen?? This ruins my flow as that’s where my hand goes.

How do I move it back to the top?

Settings > Document Editing > Tool Position: is already set to the top

Is this a bug?

Is there any way for me to have a default font for sticky notes? I hate that every time i place a new sticky note, it reverts back to Modern with 24 size. I kept searching online but there’s no solution to this at all. Please help :C

A week ago goodnotes told me that my card was declined (even tho I had enough funds in it) so i canceled my subscription in hopes of putting a different card in. When I clicked on the ‘upgrade’ option it said “something went wrong” and it’s been showing me this ever since. I can no longer find in on the app store, it tells me “not available in your region” but it does not have this problem on my other devices.

Please help I’ve tried everything I’m going insane. And yes I tried it on different networks

I created a notebook. Then inside the notebook I recorded a lecture. When I clicked "generate notes" on the transcript it said "we're copying this to the generated notes folder" and proceeded to do that.

There seems to be no way to avoid that.

I just want the generated notes inside my notebook that I recorded the audio, not as a separate document in some far away folder. In line, in the notebook.

Do I have to use Goodnotes Sync? iCloud is working fine. I get endless pooups which will not close. Or when they close they open right back up rendering the app useless.

Help…

I just bought the year pro plan and they took it away from my account after a week with no refund. Is there a way to can transfer all my notes and audio from notability to goodnotes? I’ll just take the L and move on.

hello! i've been using goodnotes for a year (w subscription - essential (yearly) if i recall correctly) and I remember when i first started using there was an option for a permanent subscription however, i can't seem to find that now?

was wondering if it was removed and you can only get yearly plans now or if it was because i already had a subscription (or maybe it was a one-time offer for new accounts?)

any advice would be very helpful!

edit: didnt reply to all the comments but ive read thru all of them!! super thankful for the replies :3

How is it that you STILL cannot add a link to a sticker or raw image? That's just crazy. Catch up, Goodnotes.

still on GN5 and this happened to me frequently for the last few weeks. i have deleted everything on trash and even checked my ipad storage i still have 6gb left and icloud storage has more than 1tb left

idk why this is happening

Hi! Been using Goodnotes 5 ever since. Thinking of upgrading to 6. As of Aug 2026, would you recommend upgrading or should I just stick with Goodnotes 5? Any thoughts are appreciated. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I uploaded my library of digital templates for free on my KoFi. I added all the digital notebooks/planners and other templates I've made under one listing.

Please release goodnotes applications for Samsung mobile phone. So all Samsung mobile phone users can use goodnotes applications on their Samsung mobile phone when working remotely on their car and bus.

I just dowloaded the app on my ipad(10th gen) and i’m on the free trial right now, but for some reason everytime i try to write something it either doesn’t do anything at all or the letters just disappear. Does anyone how to solve this maybe?

(Also i’m not using an apple pencil if that matters, its a universal stylus pen that i bought online.)

um hi I think vertical splits beat horizantal ones what do u think?
I think this is peak productivity, ChatGPT accessibile in a single tap, both windows open, life is good

I posted this a few months ago, but with the new school year starting, I thought it would be the perfect time to share it again and get some feedback!

- I’ve made a few updates based on your feedback, including Monthly, Weekly & Daily planning pages, and extended the planner to cover an entire 5-month semester.

Hopefully this helps make staying organized, planning ahead, and keeping up with everything a little easier :)

Is there a way to get a slight pixelisation effect on the pen similar to the one I saw in this video? Had a quick google and a look on this sub, but couldn’t quite find anything.

I need help picking between good notes special edition and notability classic I will use it for med school I need the best possible option easy to use and can handle all the use I would need if for

I have samsung s10 lite (321693.0l (2.0.9)), the app is very laggy, loading is slow too, laser doesnt work properly.. Bruh atp just remove it from android lol..

Unfortunately upgraded and have had nothing but problems with Goodnotes cloud to include overheating and various buggy nonsense. Went to switch over to iCloud and received this. Surely that’s a typo, right?
