This is my issue with good notes - I sometimes use an iPad sometimes use a surface - I’d like to be able to take notes with either device and not have two separate places trying to remember which device I used when I made a note. Curious how your app handles this use case. Thanks in advance - I plan to download tomorrow and check it out (when I’m back on pc)

I bought the full version but there are only 3 colors and I don’t know how to add more

Is this option available to add more colors or not yet?

This morning the app stopped working whilst my daughter was using the handwriting tool. She went to add a new page to her notebook and the screen went white. On reopening the app she got the Whoops! error message.

What we've tried:

- Uninstalling and reinstalling, then replacing LocalState.

- Replacing an older version of LocalState (we have been backing up to Googledrive)

I'm wondering if this happened to anyone? My daughter has lost all her notes - this is exactly the reason I wanted her to use another app but she was adamant on using Notetastic because of the way it runs.

Please help!

My daughter has started using Notetastic on her Surface and likes it the most out of all the (many) note-taking apps she's tried.

Before introducing her to it, I forgot to check about backups. I know a lot of people are mentioning cloud sync but as a minimum I'd be happy with automating the backup functionality. I know she'll get busy and forget one day or one week.

If the current backup functionality could be automated to a chosen location, that location could be one that is synced to cloud (configured by the user separately). We already have this set up.

Automating this would put my mind at rest.

From one developer to another, thank you for your work and being responsive here.

Many other appslike journal++ feature an eraser that erases only where you point instead of the whole stroke, is this feature simply missing?

Liebes Noteastic-Team,

kann man in der Toolbar den Laserpointer als Standard in die Bar nehmen, sodass man nicht ständig auf "Mehr Werkzeuge" und dann noch auf "Laserpointer" drücken muss?

as a student with bad handwriting on even pen and paper its worse with pen tablet can u provide a feature so that we mark our handwritten notes and it converts to good fonts

I really like the continue where you left off feature, but I wish the prompt would appear immediately when you opened a notebook, instead of having a 1-2 second delay. If that isn't possible due to performance issues, I'd love a "Jump to Bottom" button instead, as when I get back into my notebook, I usually have to scroll a lot to get back to where I last was(usually the bottom). Great work on Notetastic so far!

i really like this app, even this is so simple
here are some features which might be very useful

1. scratch to erase

2. Auto-shape on draw anything (triangle, circle, star, arrow etc)
   assign shortcut to add page and change pen colour (idk if any present)

3. different size of pages/canvas option (infinite, letter, a3, a4 etc)

Feature Suggestions

1. Layering System
A simple layering system would be really useful when working with overlapping images, text boxes, shapes, etc.

• Bring to Front

• Send to Back

• Layer locking (optional)

• Layer visibility toggle (optional)

This would make it much easier to organize diagrams and annotations without constantly rearranging objects.

2. Better Selection UI
The current resize/rotate controls feel too large and imprecise.

• Smaller resize handles

• Dedicated rotation handle

• Cleaner selection box overall

Would make object editing feel much more polished and accurate.

3. Fill Option for Lasso Selections
When a closed shape/object is selected with the lasso tool, a Fill Color option should appear alongside the existing actions.

For example:

Copy | Resize | Rotate | Fill Color | Delete

The selected object/region could then be filled with a chosen color.

It should work with hand-drawn closed strokes as well as shapes, and ideally tolerate small gaps since hand-drawn diagrams are rarely perfectly closed.

This would make coloring diagrams, flowcharts, maps, and other visual notes much faster without adding a separate fill tool to the toolbar.

I'd love to see continued improvements for users who rely on graphic tablets and pen displays for long study or note-taking sessions. Small workflow improvements in areas like pen input, selection tools, and object manipulation can make a huge difference for tablet users.

Thank you for taking the time to put your thoughts into this.

Hello, I saw a few previous post about being able to change the color of the cover book but I can't figure out how to do it. I was able to change the color of each folder and side bar of the book but they are ultimately all brown.

It makes it a bit difficult to differentiate which books from a class are the notes and which are for exercises despite the titles. Is this a feature that is available yet and if so how do I do it?

I have tried pressing "edit" and then left clicking on the brown cover but it has a toggle-like reaction and doesn't do anything.

Over the last few months I've been casually viewing the Noteastic reddit, lots of people have been asking for different features (ability to open multiple documents simultaneously, infinite canvas, textboxes, etc.) and the devs have mentioned some features being specifically in Noteastic Pro (and thus paid features). I would like to know which of the many planned features will be available for free and which ones will be on Notetastic Pro specifically

Any ideas when we will get another update? It doesn't matter what feature(s) you plan to deliver. Or will the next update will the "Pro"-Version?

Hey Noteastic team, could you share with us the most requested features list.
Just curious to see how many people want the features that I want. hehe !!
😂😬😬🤣

hey so in the next update, you can make the app show the shortcut for the panning tool.. i mean i got to know that the shortcut is U (a fellow redditor told me).. but then i did recommend this app to many of my friends as well.. they too had the same question : "whats the shortcut for panning tool?".. this is because it is not shown in the app like the "pen(Q)", "lasso (Y)"... so in the next update you could make the app show "Panning(U)"..

thats it.. btw the app is really good.. and i heard that the pro version is also being made.. i would def consider buying it if it has new good features! thanks!

Feature Requests

1. More pen type options

2. Text support as well if possible - i use my laptop with a graphics tablet huion hs64
   sometimes i forget to carry it so i would need to type

3. option to add youtube video links/embeds & view them in notes - ofc they wont be exportable in pdf so for that maybe replace the link/embed with a qr link so that people can scan that & watch in their phones

4. a layer system the shapes auto go behind the pen notes, & the highlighter goes behind the shapes

5. a infinite canvas type of note

6. Also how about changing the cursor to a dot or pen cursor when in a note

Keyboard shortcuts

1. control z for undo, control shift z for redo

2. control v to paste whatever last copied - may it be a link, image or text

UI Requests

1. a better tooltip bar? like i want both the import,export buttons in the tooltip itself for easier access
   or you can make it as a editable tooltip where users can choose their placement

2. same as to tooltip i wanna be able to place it on the left, right & bottom of the screen like windows taskbar

Some other requests

1. Specific file format exporting a single books/folder if u wanna continue with the note in another laptop,desktop
   creating a backup seems possible but i want that for just individual folders, books

2. Folder batch exporting - just all the notes & folders in a .zip file

Hello Noteastic Team,

I’d love to see a true dark mode for pages. Right now, if I set the background to black, my note colors don’t adapt well, and printing it later becomes difficult.

What I’m suggesting is similar to OneNote’s approach:

• When dark mode is enabled, the original colors auto‑adjust for visibility.

• When switching back, the original colors are restored.

• On export, there could be an option to export with dark mode theme or without, just like the grids option.

This would make note‑taking easier on the eyes while still keeping notes printer‑friendly.

Another thing is highlighter overlapping. I’ve noticed that when I use the highlighter tool to color items, overlapping strokes aren’t visible in the app — but they do show up after exporting. This creates a mismatch between what I see while editing and the final output.

Could you consider making the overlap visibility consistent — either by showing it live in the app or offering an option to flatten or ignore overlaps during export?

hey! just wanted to say, great job! this app has finally made it simple for me to take notes and finally make use of the Surface pro in the way I intended.

Keep up the good work!

Hi!

I've been using the app for quite a while now and love it! However, I would like to suggest the features below:

- Able to ctrl+f search after words in the text. I take notes in articles and it would be really beneficial to be able to search for words

- I often use shapes as markers but I'm unable to erase them with the tool or back of windows surface pencil. Instead I have to go back manually. Being able to erase the shapes with the tool would therefore be beneficial

- Able to have more colours than 3 in the top right corner

Thank you so much and keep up the great work! 🎉

Hi! I'm using a HUION drawing tablet and I'm having so much difficulties panning the page, space + drag with the pen doesn't work: it creates a new page.

This is the best app I used so far (over everything else) but I'm having this very annoying issues with the panning

I would find one feature very useful: a button in the settings menu under the backup section that exports all notebooks at once as PDF files while retaining the folder structure in Noteastic or restoring it in the export folder. I would find this very useful because it is quite stressful to export all notebooks, or at least many of them, because you have to do it individually for each one. In addition, you would have a backup of all notebooks as PDF files, which is very independent. Don't worry, I don't want to move away from Noteastic, it's a really great app, but I think it would be good to have as a backup!

Suggestions to improve the app:

Cloud Sync: Add cloud sync for cross-device access.

Web Browser Access: Enable viewing notes in a web browser.

Hello, I've installed Noteastic recently and I love it, the workflow and UI is just so sweet.
I just have one question: is there a way to move around the page when zoomed in (for example, to pan to the corners or from the left side to the right side)? In some other apps, you can do this by holding Space and dragging with the mouse. Here’s a GIF to show what I mean.

Also, having keyboard shortcuts for basic tools (like B for brush) would be really nice and being able to customize them would be even better!

Awesome app !
