As convenient as it is to tip-tap away on the keyboard, there are times when only writing and drawing can truly capture your ideas. With Goodnotes, you can do all of the above with handy productivity boosters designed with business professionals in mind. Here are a few of our favourites.

Goodnotes’s recording feature is perfect for capturing an audio backup of your meeting while taking minutes. Tap the microphone icon at the top of the screen to start recording, then continue to write, draw and type as usual to keep track of useful info.

Long-press any section afterwards to play back the corresponding audio and recall details you may have missed to complete your notes. From draft to edit to review, you can do it all in one app.

In Marketplace, you’ll find a variety of notebook templates and cover designs, whether you’re looking for a well-organised planner or a simple to-do list.

Need something more specific? You can also create and import templates built for your needs.

If you’re in the habit of working on more than one device, keeping your notes backed up and accessible across all of them is no doubt a priority. With Goodnotes, you can switch between your iPhone, iPad and Mac anytime, pulling data from iCloud or other cloud services.

The app also supports collaborative note-taking, allowing multiple people to view and edit the same document in real time. Managing projects and keeping your team on the same page has never been easier.

Your notes may come in PDFs, images, decks, text documents or any number of other forms. Goodnotes lets you organise them neatly into searchable folders, categorised by project or task.

Uploaded files are automatically synced across your devices, so you can access them on your iPhone, iPad or Mac.

Goodnotes is more than just a note-taking app – it’s a tool for bringing your ideas to life. Try these tips, shake up your daily work routine and discover new ways to power your productivity.
