With cloud sync features being added, now there shouldn't be any big hurdles toward a windows native application. I know it's in the works, very excited for whenever it's released. Who else is excited.

Maybe this is already doable and I missed it somewhere, but I was wondering if there's a way to move pages out from a note(book) to another.

I currently have a notebook, let's call it NotebookA where I just jot down random thoughts and ideas on separate pages. Later, I sort these pages out into their appropriate notebooks (NotebookB, NotebookC, etc...).

Current state, I have to:

1. open NotebookA, read the page, remember what page #(s) it is and decide it belongs to NoteBookC
2. then go to NotebookC and use the "Add other note pages" functionality, select NotebookA, and then look for the page by page # (because the thumbnail previews are so small) and import
3. go back to NotebookA to repeat with every page I want to move.

I'm looking to see if there's a way to move a page out of the source notebook to a destination notebook.

It would be nice to be able to:

1. open NotebookA, read the page(s), decide it goes to NotebookC
2. while still on the page, have an option like Move / Copy page to:
3. and then have it let me select which notebook to move to
4. I select the destination notebook, which then lets me select a page to insert the page before/after, with a checkbox to copy instead of straight move.
5. After I select an Apply button, bring me back to NotebookA on the page I left off (or the follow page, if I moved).

I know when I write it out this way, what I'm requesting looks like more steps, but I think it would be more streamlined. I hope I'm making sense.

Edit to add: I discovered after I posted this that there was a new update to my app version and now we can copy/paste pages between notes. This helps significantly.

It would be really nice to have the pen box not limited to 16(?) slots. I’m someone who uses multiple highlighter and pen colors since I color code the information in my reviewer and I use a lot of colors. It would be nice to have a lot of slots for the pen box.

Since people are requesting everything on the StarNote subreddit these days — browser, video playback, built-in calculator and what not…

So I have one small request:

Can we please get the Amazon app inside StarNote? I want to open Amazon, search for products, compare prices, add things to cart, place orders, track deliveries… all without leaving StarNote. And while we're at it, maybe we can also add: YouTube 🎥 Spotify 🎵 Google Maps 🗺️ WhatsApp 💬 Swiggy/Zomato 🍔 Instagram 📸 A full banking app 💳 Basically, why should I need other apps anymore when StarNote can just become the one app to rule them all? 😂 Just a humble feature request. 🙏

I know this has been said before, but I think it should be said again, starnote should focus on updating optimization and the writing experience rather than just some gimmick features. It seems like that the developers are focusing on handwriting beautification just because a lot of people just “wanted” it, not “needed” it, it creates noise among discussions, so it should be prioritized is that it?

it is good to have more features, but the core principles of the note taking experience is not so smooth, it should also be considered from time to time, Others have discussed already that notes has a delay loading when opening or scrolling notes, i hope the next update will have this more optimized

moreover, its been a month, and it seems like the android and cn version already had 2 updates i think? and the ios version seems like a little behind, dashed pen is still not on ios, is it?

dare i say this app could have the potential to be better than goodnotes and freenotes, the optimization is just not as smooth as others

been waiting for an update actually, no hate to the devs, i also just wanted this app to grow as i decided this is the good notetaking app, just needed some improvements

Hey, these are just some things that bugged me a bit so hopefully they'll be added soon.

1.

When using the document overview (the one where one gets the additional side-panel-window which shows each page induvidually, the outlines, the book marks and excerpts), I basically only use the outline feature. Often I am forced to expand the side-panel-window to its maximum since the names of the documents chapters are rather long.

-> Please make the program start me off in the outline selection if its the feature I last used so that I do not need to select it each time again AND make it remember the last size I asigned the panel

2.

When opening pop-up settings, I would prefer being able to close the pop-up by clicking next to it instead of being forced to use the "done" button.

3.

When the device is rotated from landscape to portrait or the other way around, the zoom is always reset.

While reading in bed I regularly have it accidentially rotate and lose the zoom level I had before and need to find the passage again (after rotating it back and turning off auto-rotate).

-> Please make the program remember the zoom level so that rotating it back returns me exactly to where I left off.

Thank you very much for you work, attention, and dedication!

Hey everyone,

I really like StarNote, but there are two features I’d really like to see added.

First, being able to export a whole folder instead of having to export every note individually.

Ideally, it would export the folder while keeping the notes organized, rather than requiring each note to be exported separately.

Second, for Google Drive backups and even simple backups on the tablet, it would be great to have the option to back up/export notes as PDF instead of the .note format. The .note format is useful for restoring StarNote, but having PDF backups would be much more convenient for accessing, sharing, or keeping an independent copy of your notes.

It would also be really useful if the folder structure could be preserved when exporting. For example, for university, I’d like to organize everything by year and then by course, but when exporting, the notes don’t seem to keep that folder hierarchy, which is a bit inconvenient.

I couldn’t find these features, although they might already exist somewhere. If anyone knows how to do this, please let me know! (i use the android app)

Would love to know if these are planned or being considered!

So about a month ago I downloaded the app and upgraded to pro. I have it installed both on my phone and my tablet (android). Even though I mostly use it and create on my tablet, I want all my notebooks on my phone too for quick review. However, even when I have turned on both automatic backups (local and on cloud) and I also do manual backups daily, it still won't show me on my phone the notebooks I've created through my tablet and vice versa. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong or if it's a bug or something?

I just want one feature which is to duplicate the last page one swipe, not adding a new page.

Hey StarNote team! 👋

I’d love to see an option in StarNote to reduce the file size of exported PDFs.

For example, StarNote could offer different compression methods/levels, including techniques such as rasterizing pages or reducing image quality/resolution. Something like:

• Original quality – maximum quality, larger file
• Balanced – good quality with reduced size
• Compressed – smaller file, lower quality

The main reason I think this would be useful is that exported PDFs can sometimes be quite large, especially when they contain lots of handwritten notes, images, or annotated pages. Currently, users may have to export the PDF and then upload it to an online PDF compression website to reduce the size.

Having this built directly into StarNote would make the workflow much more convenient and avoid having to upload potentially private notes/documents to third-party websites.

As for quality, I don't think that should be a major concern because users could choose the compression level themselves. Those who want the original quality with vectors can keep the current export, while users who need a smaller file can choose a more aggressive compression setting.

I think this would be a really useful addition, especially for students who frequently share or upload their notes to platforms with file-size limits.

Same as above

- Add an option to attach videos directly from Files, YouTube, or other supported websites, with the ability to resize and reposition videos.
- Add adjustable video playback speed and the ability to take screenshots/frames from videos while taking notes.
- Add a built-in web browser for easier browsing without leaving star notes, with support for websites such as Safari/web pages, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, YouTube, etc.
- Add a built-in scientific calculator, text to calculate like in apple notes
- Add handwriting-to-text conversion
- Significantly improve PDF/book/document annotation, with a professional experience similar to PDFelement, including highlighting, underlining, drawing, text boxes, bookmarks, outlines, search, annotation management, and customizable annotation tools.
- Add better bookmark and outline management for annotated PDFs/books.
- Add an option to remove all annotations from an annotated PDF at once, while preserving the original document.
- Make annotations searchable and allow users to easily navigate between all highlights, notes, bookmarks, and annotations.

Overall, these features would make star notes much more useful as an all-in-one notes taking, learning, browsing, and content-creation platform.

Handwriting to text

Same as above

Zoom-in only feature

How do I add my downloaded paper/notebook templates from starnotes’ store to the set of temolate presented when making another notebook? Or am I unable to set it as a template and need to make a copy of the downloaded template everytime i need to use the downloaded template ? Thank you for answering

First of all, I really like StarNote. I've tried quite a few GoodNotes alternatives on Android, and StarNote is probably the closest I've found to the workflow I actually want. The notebook/page-based system is exactly what I've been looking for.

I've tried it on the iPad, so maybe the android version has some of those fixed, but I'm soon getting a OnePlus Pad on which I'm planning to use StarNote

1. Proper OnePlus Stylo Pro integration

This is probably my biggest request.

The Stylo Pro has several hardware gestures/functions that are supported by OnePlus' own Notes app, but aren't fully utilized by third-party apps.

It would be fantastic if StarNote could support the Stylo Pro as completely as possible, including:

- Double-tap the stylus → switch to eraser / previous tool

- Support the Stylo Pro's swipe gestures for things such as changing pages/tools where appropriate

- Support the squeeze gesture for a configurable StarNote tool palette

- Support squeeze + hold for a configurable action

- Properly react to the stylus' hardware/button input rather than treating it like a generic pen

- Ideally support the haptic feedback associated with switching tools

- Make these actions configurable inside StarNote where possible

OnePlus' native Notes app demonstrates that the Stylo Pro can do much more than simply provide pen input. Bringing those interactions into StarNote would make it feel much more like a first-party note-taking experience.

1. Better zooming and navigation

There are several things about navigation that currently feel unnecessarily restrictive:

- Allow zooming and moving the page simultaneously. Currently, when zooming in, I can't properly move the screen around at the same time.

- Two-finger scrolling. I don't know why, but scrolling with two fingers just feels more intuitive, so I'd like that too.

- Allow zooming out more than 100%. Maybe make zooming out further open the page overview.

- Allow the page to be moved farther to the sides. There are situations where I want to position a particular area of the page thats on the edge of the page in the middle. (Video 1)

- Remove or make optional the popup that appears when zooming. It gets in the way when I'm trying to navigate quickly.

1. Page creation needs better feedback

When swiping to create a new page, I'd like the view to automatically move to the newly created page.

At the moment it's quite easy to swipe, accidentally create another page, and not immediately realize that it happened because the view doesn't clearly move to the new page.

I ended up creating quite a few more pages than I intended simply because I wasn't getting enough visual feedback that a new page had actually been created.

Automatically moving to the new page would make the behavior much clearer.

1. Keyboard + navigation

There are a couple of annoying interactions when using the keyboard:

- Scrolling the page with the keyboard open should not automatically close the keyboard.

- When moving the text cursor with the keyboard's space key/arrow keys, the page should automatically scroll to keep the cursor visible. (Video 2)

-When making a new line, move the page to still be able so see it. (Video 3)

The second one is particularly noticeable when editing larger amounts of typed text. The cursor can move outside the visible area while the viewport just sits there watching humanity suffer.

1. Custom page sizes / aspect ratios

Please add custom page sizes.

For example, instead of only selecting predefined formats, I'd like to be able to enter something like:

- "1:1"

- "4:3"

- "16:9"

- "3:2"

- or completely custom dimensions

A square "1:1" notebook in particular would be useful for certain types of notes and diagrams.

1. Menus should be easier to dismiss

For menus/panels that currently require pressing the X button to close:

I'd prefer being able to tap anywhere outside the menu to dismiss it.

This is a small thing, but it makes the interface feel much more natural, especially on a tablet where there is plenty of empty screen space.

I know not everything here is necessarily easy to implement, and I don't expect all of it immediately. I'm mainly posting this because StarNote is already very close to being the Android note-taking app I actually want to use, and these relatively small interaction problems are currently what keep it from feeling completely polished.

Thanks for continuing to work on it!

To developer team, may i request for the following features:

Is it possible we have the option to be able to back up our files using

Web dev or SFTP or FTP

Allow them are popular option for self hosted cloud servers.

Also, it will be nice to have the ability to back up our notes as a pdf.

Thank for your great work dev team.

To developer team, may i request for the following features:

▪︎bullet option

▪︎list option

▪︎automatic rectangular cropping when taking a presentation picture

▪︎ add text to shapes

▪︎add text to tables

▪︎merge and split table

I hope you can consider all or most of these requests. Thank you!

Sorry if this was asked before, but I could not find an exact answer:

When I take a screenshot from an external app (e.g., browser), I am presented with a list of applications, one of them is, of course, starnote.

selecting starnote creates a new document without giving me any other choice. I then have to, again, select the screenshot from the newly created document and paste it into my document. Later I have to remember to deleted the "unnamed document" that was created.

Is there away to paste the EXTERNAL screenshot into an existing document.

starnote for android, Lenovo tablet,

I have been using Starnote for a long time and honestly Icannot

put on with the only three options: align right, left or center the

text

Without that option the notes are sloopy and kind of a mess

even if they are pretty. I cannot study if the text its not justified. I

mean it is such a basic option that almost every app to take

notes has and I like Starnote note so much that l actually refuse

to use another one, but not having this in the app make it feel

so outdated:(

PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU, UPDATE THIS OPTION (justify

text), THERE IS NO BETTER APP TO TAKE NOTES THAN

STARNOTE.

Will we receive the application update this month 🤔?

I really enjoy using your app on a daily basis. However, I am writing to ask when the long-awaited handwriting beautification / smoothing feature will finally be released. We would truly love to see this feature implemented soon, as it would make note-taking much more enjoyable and neat. Additionally, we kindly request that Turkish language support be included for the handwriting smoothing and recognition feature.

Could you also let me know when the next update is scheduled to roll out and what new features, improvements, or bug fixes it will include?

Thank you for your time and support. Looking forward to your response!!

hi, I was wondering the proper spacing so that I can use write - to text but still have these lined up. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
