What is digital planning?

Digital planning mimics the experience of using a paper planner but on an iPad or other tablet-like device. When you purchase a digital planner, you will download a PDF file that you can use in a PDF markup app.

Is there a way to try it before buying?

Yes, our Freebie Vault offers lots of digital planning resources like planners, notebooks, stickers, and covers for free.

What tools do I need to get started?

To use digital planning products, you will need: - A tablet device - A stylus - A PDF annotation app (GoodNotes5 is my favorite. Other options are Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, etc.)

Do your planners sync with Google cal or iCal?

No. Digital planning mimics the experience of using a paper planner so you have to manually input your entries.

Does my planner send me alerts or reminders of events?

No. Digital planning mimics the experience of using a paper planner so no alerts or pop-up reminders are available.

Do I have to repurchase a new planner/journal/notebook every year?

Undated digital notebooks/planners/journals only need to be purchased once and can be used over and over again. The best way to do this is to make a copy of it before you use it so you have a clean, unused copy when you want to start fresh again.

Can I change or edit the color/design of your products?

No. At this time, I do not accept requests for customization/personalization.

Is there a limit to how many pages I can add in my planner?

No. You can add, duplicate, and copy as many pages as you would like. However, your device's amount of memory may affect the number of pages you add.

Can I type in my digital planner/notebook/journal?

Yes, if the app or program that you are using allows you to type then you can.

How do I get my planner/notebook on my device?

1. Click the download link that was emailed after your purchase. 2. Download and save the files linked in the PDF. 3. Open your PDF markup app and import the file. GoodNotes files will only work in GoodNotes app.

Where can I find tips for getting started?

What program/app do you use?

Personally, I use GoodNotes5 on an iPad but you can use any app that allows you to annotate/markup PDFs. Other popular options: iPad users - Notability, Zoom Notes Android users - Noteshelf, Xodo

Will your products work on my device?

Personally, I have only used digital products on an iPad. However, they are PDF documents so they can be opened on any device that is compatible with opening PDFs. They can be used on other devices like iPhones, and laptops and you can use your finger or mouse to write, but the optimal experience is with a tablet and stylus. To make sure our planners are compatible with your device, download a free notebook here before purchasing.

Why can't I click my tabs?

If you are having trouble clicking on your tabs you may be in the wrong mode within your app. There are two modes, Reading and Editing. In READING mode, hyperlinks are active and you can click on links/tabs. In EDITING mode, you can write, type, add images, add stickers, etc. Hyperlinks will not work in this mode. In the GoodNotes5 app, the icon to toggle between these modes is located in the top right corner. It looks like a pencil with a circle or slash through it.

My tabs are linked correctly. What can I do?

Unfortunately, once the planners/notebooks are edited and pages have been added/deleted, this could have affected the functionality of the product and I can no longer give advice on functionality. Be sure to follow my tutorial on how to copy/paste pages properly so hyperlinks are not affected. My suggestion would be to start fresh with a clean version of the planner/notebook by re-downloading the files from your original purchase.

My planner is loading slowly, what should I do?

If you are experiencing a lag in flipping through the pages of your planner/notebook, it could be that your app needs to be restarted or the memory on your device is almost at capacity.
