Goodnotes: KI Notizen, PDF app

Goodnotes: KI Notizen, PDF app is for people who keep notebooks, mark up PDFs, and want their notes searchable without a lot of fuss. By our assessment, its main strength is the mix of handwriting, typing, PDF annotation, and AI-flavoured note handling in one place, which is exactly why students and heavy note-takers keep it on the screen. The trade-off is that it asks for a bit of organisation and pays best when someone keeps a tidy notebook system, not a loose pile of scraps. In practice it feels like a digital binder rather than a simple scratchpad, with tabs, pages, and markup tools doing most of the work. Compared with plain note apps, it reaches further into PDF work and handwritten study notes, while staying less open-ended than a full office suite. It fits people who live inside lecture notes and documents, and not people who only need a quick grocery list.
