Good notes windows12/7/2023 ![]() Have a jarringly white page template in the middle of a Dark Mode interface.Switch to a default dark template to recreate a sketch note color scheme that looks good on the black background of the dark templates in GoodNotes.So that leaves the perfectionist in me with two possibilities when I take notes in GoodNotes: But in GoodNotes, there’s a difference between Dark Mode and dark page templates. Personally, I like the look of the system Dark Mode on my iPad so I leave it on all the time. It’s a cool feature and I’m glad that it’s there, but honestly it could be better.ĭark Mode in GoodNotes follows the system setting, so if you have Dark Mode turned on for your iPad then the GoodNotes interface will be dark as well. This is fun to play with, but to be honest I listed it last because I think there’s still some dust to settle with how Dark Mode gets implemented. We’ve even updated some of our productivity templates for Dark Mode, and you can download both the light and dark themed weekly and daily planning templates as well as a guide on how to use them right here. There are dark page templates for the default paper types (black, ruled, and dotted) that you can use out of the box, and the black background makes the colors (especially bright ones) really pop. Dark Modeĭark Mode on GoodNotes looks really good. And of course, because OCR is applied when the document is scanned, you can now search for and select any of the text you capture using this method. The whole process is very seamless and feels a lot like scanning receipts in a mobile scanning app like Scanbot. The image is added to a buffer at the bottom of the screen, and you’re ready to scan another page/document.The image is cropped so that only your document remains.Hold the device steady for a second and GoodNotes will capture the image automatically.Once your document is in view, GoodNotes will detect the image and a blue overlay will appear over the document to indicate what will be scanned.Select Scan Document and the camera opens up (just like capturing an image always did), but using the SDK now allows GoodNotes to make the rest of the process a lot simpler: You can add a scan as a new document or a new page. This is enabled as part of a new API available to developers that can identify the text in images while scanning them. GoodNotes also added the ability to apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to scanned documents in version 5.3. ![]() (Of course, you can do the same sort of thing by opening GoodNotes alongside Ulysses or Bear if you prefer.) OCR When you tap the Share button when there are two side-by-side windows, you can now choose which window should be displayed to the audience. And with multiple window support, you can now open up a document that has your presentation outline or notes alongside your presentation. While presenting, you can highlight things for your audience with the Laser Pointer tool by simply writing on your iPad screen. Presentation Mode was added back in version 5.2, and allows you to share your screen (with or without the GoodNotes interface showing). My absolute favorite though is the ability to open up two GoodNotes documents while using Presentation Mode. Drag a page from the Thumbnail view to add a page to a document as an image.Copy images from one document to another by dragging them into another document.Move documents between folders in the Library.Move pages from one document or notebook to another.Use the Lasso tool to select something and take a screenshot, then drag the screenshot into another document as an image.Use the Lasso tool to select something and copy it into another document.Here’s some of things you can do with split-screen once you have your multiple windows open: Support for multiple windows may not seem like a big deal at first, but it actually adds quite a bit of functionality to an already powerful application. If you have notebook tabs open, you can tap the split-screen icon in the upper-right (just below the toolbar) to open multiple windows.From the Thumbnail view of an open notebook, you can drag a specific page to the side of the screen to view it in a new window.You can tap the document title in the Library to reveal the action menu (below the thumbnail) and select Open in New Window.From the Library, you can drag a folder or notebook to the side of the screen to either reveal the contents of the folder if you want two library views side-by-side or open up the selected notebook.With GoodNotes already open, you can swipe up from the bottom to reveal the dock and drag the GoodNotes icon up to the side of the screen.There are lots of ways you can open multiple windows in GoodNotes: This is a pretty major update, adding support for multiple windows, OCR scanning, and Dark Mode. GoodNotes (our pick for The Best App for Taking Handwritten Notes) was recently updated to version 5.3. ![]()
