Goodnotes relaunch: AI, new document types and new pricing tiers
Goodnotes has released a major relaunch — a strategic “restart” rather than a traditional version bump. The company avoided calling this release “7.0” and is positioning the app as a unified product with new subscription tiers and deeper AI capabilities.
What’s new
- AI integration: Built-in AI (Goodnotes AI) to summarize, brainstorm, transcribe voice notes, solve math, and assist with handwriting recognition and auto-complete.
- New document types: Whiteboards for brainstorming and collaborative spaces, and Text Documents that behave more like word-processor files.
- Collaboration & integrations: Real-time collaboration and integrations with services like Google Calendar, Google Drive and OneDrive.
- Product tiers: The app is now sold as a single product with multiple usage tiers (e.g., Essential and Pro) and optional AI add-ons instead of a simple incremental version number.
- UI & tools: Redesigned toolbar, improved shape tools, and faster workflows for combining notes and documents.
Why this matters
Goodnotes is moving from being “just” a note-taking app to a more complete workspace, emphasizing AI-assisted productivity and flexible pricing. For users, that means more powerful features but also a new subscription structure to consider.
