1 suggestionGoodNotes has been a universal purchase since at least 2020, meaning the Mac version you have is already a native Apple Silicon build if you are running a current version on an M-series Mac. The app ships as a Universal Binary on the Mac App Store, so opening the App Store and tapping Update will keep you on the latest native build. If you are somehow still running an older Intel-only version under Rosetta, simply updating through the Mac App Store will pull the current native version automatically, and your notebooks and settings will sync via iCloud without any manual migration. There is nothing special you need to do — your GoodNotes installation should already be native.
