💰 Willingness to pay, in their words
“I will still have access to my current notes because I have a lifetime subscription, but it is not really usable for me without this functionality moving forward.”
The receipts — real demand
“The latest problem in their updates removed my ability to have already open Docs in Goodnotes, and to bring up the display of all my open docs at the bottom of the screen to scroll through and find what I want, or to add a new doc to work in without having to close one of the open ones, or have to use their split screen, which doesn’t work with my notetaking with clients.

Why this is a gap
Surfaced from a high-intensity complaint with clear willingness to pay and a specific, reachable audience.
The market
Professional note-takers (therapists, consultants, clinicians) managing multiple open documents simultaneously. 10 monthly searches indicate steady, localized demand among a niche professional segment.
Competition & the opening
GoodNotes, OneNote, and Notability dominate this space at 5/10 crowding. GoodNotes removed the ability to keep multiple docs open and display them in a taskbar, forcing context-switching. The gap is multi-document management and tab/split-screen functionality in note apps.
What's hard to build
Building efficient multi-document state management with smooth switching is complex; mobile and tablet UX for split-screen editing on small screens is notoriously hard. Integrating with existing workflows (importing from GoodNotes, syncing across devices) requires reverse-engineering proprietary formats or negotiating partnerships GoodNotes likely won't offer.
Why now
GoodNotes removed tab persistence in recent updates, leaving power users stranded; competitors can capture these professionals with better document management.
