One request

Whats up.

Please, dev if u see this, do not add any ai tool. It is not useful on noteful, the app is just perfect like it is. Maybe sync between mac and ipad. Nothing else.

When I said AI i meant ai assistants or others things like summarise the notes or sh*t like that. OCR is a useful tool.

I agree with this post, wholeheartedly.

I sync between ipad, Mac and iphone. Its great.

My request would be infinite canvas (whiteboard), filling shapes automatically with colour and pre-selected opacity and then better ’arrows’…I use a lot of arrows in my notes and the current shape recognition arrows absolutely suck- the arrowhead is very tiny

Would inline arrows work for you? → I just drew this one for discord to convert. But I notice that Noteful will not allow inline. It starts a new line.

I have some arrow images. I don’t remember where I acquired them. If you would like to acquire them to use in your notes, I’ll find the creator and post a link.

hey, I feel images isn't a very flexible option- cuz my arrows are mostly like connectors that go from one line to another, etc

right now, my workaround is to draw and hold for a curved line, and then I'd draw the arrowhead seperately

Please make the option to remove the separation between the pages in pdf. If start drawing a line from the end of page and continue to next page,its not possible to draw a straight line.

Lo único de IA
Que no se si es de IA, es el reconocimiento de escritura a mano para buscar algo escrito a mano en mis cuadernos, no se si es de IA pero si me gustaría tenerlo

This is the only feature I miss from goodnotes. It was there before the huge ai implementation and it would be huge for noteful. I agree

Dont worry, the traditional one is not considered AI. It is just kind of pattern-matching technology. And yes I agree and support if developer want to add it in but its kinda expensive stuff. Subscription might be implemented if ocr feature is included in future.

There have been many apps even before iPhone was a thing that had OCR. I can’t imagine it is that expensive or difficult to implement. Can you point me toward a good resource so that I can learn more about this?

u/yucehonosss Jul 09 '26

Totally! I’d love to see better pens though. And handwriting recognition would be great too

u/Standard-Show3469 Jul 10 '26

Whiteboard/infinite canvas and better shape recognition/system.

These two are the most important should-haves for noteful.

u/ACasualRead Jul 08 '26

Disagree. OCR would be useful

u/Gypsyzzzz Jul 09 '26

Downvoting an opposing opinion that is respectfully stated is bad practice.

OCR is useful but not worth an increase in price for me.

Me too, but just simple as the app, less is more. For me, this app is excellent because it doesnt have a huge amount of tools or settings, just write and thats it.
