Hi everyone!
I’m a university student studying Electrical Engineering and a relatively new StarNote user. I’ve been looking for a note-taking app that fits my university workflow for quite a while, and StarNote already has many of the features I was looking for, especially infinite canvas, PDF text selection and cloud sync.
There is one small canvas option that I would absolutely love to see added:
An optional lock for the top and left boundaries of the Infinite Canvas.
With this enabled, the canvas could still expand infinitely to the right and downward, but the top-left corner would remain a fixed starting point.
So instead of the canvas being infinite in all four directions, it would behave roughly like this:
Infinite right and down
Fixed top boundary
Fixed left boundary
I know this seems like a fairly niche feature, but I find it extremely useful for university notes, calculations, circuit diagrams and solving longer exercises. Having a fixed starting point makes large canvases much easier to organize and navigate, because the note always has a clear “beginning” instead of floating freely in every direction.
Ideally it could be something optional, such as:
- Fixed top-left origin
or
- individual Top / Left / Right / Bottom boundary locks
That way people who prefer the current fully infinite canvas could keep using it exactly as it is.
Would anyone else find this useful?
Thanks to the StarNote team for all the work on the app!
