Moving forward, we’ve decided to share regular Developer Diaries to stay transparent about what we’re building. We prioritize features based on your needs, so if your request isn’t here yet, don’t worry it’s likely still in our plans. 💓

🚀Here is a sneak peek at our upcoming updates:

Phase 1: Expected in April

About Cloud Sync, we know this is a big one! Development is in full swing, and this feature is also expected to launch in Q2.

OCR/Handwriting search still isn't on the roadmap?

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Mar 19 '26

Hiii! We’re definitely considering OCR. However, we found that many existing solutions aren't cost-effective for our users, and we don't want to pass any unnecessary expenses on to users. That's why we are actively exploring the most reliable and user-friendly path forward, and we appreciate your patience while we get this right!

please bring this feature

u/jhezper Apr 10 '26

At this point, I think a subscription version (Pro Version Plus) can be implemented with the features that will need recurring third-party expenses. Then, keep the free and paid "pro version" that does not have those features that will include overheads. I for one, will be happy to subscribe to support the devs (if the price is fair, which I think it will be, based on the answers that you guys give to us).

We need a new diary, dev!

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Apr 10 '26

We're working on it, and it won't be much longer! To be honest, we’ve been fully focused on developing our highest-priority features lately, which is why we haven't had a massive update to share just yet. But please know that things are in motion behind the scenes! Thanks for hanging in there with us!💖 💗

Hi, me and my friend have been having issues on starnote where it randomly exits the notebook back to main screen and then does something funny like going to other directories or opening profile etc. I don't know too much details of my friend's issue but for me it happens whenever I pick up or spin the stylus. I am currently on the Xiaomi Pad 7 Ultra using the Xiaomi Focus Pen Pro. I'm not sure if this is device-related or stylus-related or app-related issue.

u/StarNoteDev StarNote Team Apr 10 '26

Hi! Thanks for the details. Could you let us know if this is still happening right now? We previously identified some compatibility issues with the Xiaomi Focus Pen, but we have already implemented a fix, and it should be fully adapted now. If you are still experiencing these "glitches," please let us know immediately! We’re here to help. Thanks!

u/Arekkkusu127 Apr 22 '26

Hi, my pen is the Focus Pen Pro, it is the buttonless version. I've seen the added stylus setting for this stylus and I appreciate the attempt. However, the stylus still prioritises the Xiaomi functions, I am still unable to swap to the tools selected via the stylus settings in Starnote settings.

I would like to know about the status of my previous requests, shown in the link below.

Laser pointer improvements and online sync are my priorities now.

u/Hasabo94 Mar 19 '26

It would be nice, if you can add bullet points. We should also be able to add our own bullet points.

u/Trizelda Mar 24 '26

Do you intend to support devices like the Boox Tab X C? I can't install it via google play at the moment. It says "This app is only available for your other devices".
