Quick Jump To: General iPad Android reMarkable Kindle Scribe Onyx BOOX Supernote

General

Yes, you can use the planner across multiple devices since it's a PDF file. It's compatible with various operating systems, allowing you to use it simultaneously on iPad/Android tablets and Mac/Windows computers. For optimal use:

  • If your primary devices are iPad/Android tablets and laptops, the Ultimate Planner is recommended for its convenient navigation and versatile functionality.
  • If you primarily use smartphones like iPhone or Samsung Galaxy, the Smartphone Planners would be more suitable.

Note: Your handwriting app must support sync functionality. GoodNotes is one recommended option.

By default, your planner starts with the current month of purchase. However, you can customize the start date to any day within the current year through the customization menu. Each planner includes 12 months of content.

  • If you download without customization, you'll receive a planner starting from the current month and ending one year later (e.g., September 2025 to August 2026 if September 2025 is selected).
  • For a complete year planner, you can download a second planner starting from January 1st of the following year at no additional cost.

If this option was chosen during customization, your Digital Planner will included links to your digital calendar (Apple Calendar / Google Calendar / etc.). By clicking the link, you will be able to quickly add an event to your calendar for a selected date and time. You can also sync your digital planner with your calendar by inserting existing events for selected dates and times using this Shortcut

To move the tabs in the planner, you can choose from "Right-handed" mode (tabs on the right side/right+left) or "Left-handed" mode (tabs on the left side/left+right) and No Tabs mode.

In the Planner Settings and Layouts menu, please navigate to the Daily section and click on it. You will see 2 pages for which you can choose layouts. Click on the first page and select the layout that works best for you, then repeat for the second one. You can select different layouts or the same layout, which will add 2x times more Daily Pages. If you need even more Daily Pages, I suggest that the Daily Digital Planner is the best option for you. It has 4 Daily Pages to configure.

The easiest way is customize the planner, using the guide from our YouTube videoon this topic.

If you want to change some title on templates, press on the GEAR button near the checkbox on the template in "Planner settings and Layouts" menu. This feature already available for part of the templates, but not for all of them. We're working on it.

Our Planners are compatible with any PDF annotation app on iOS, Android, Mac, Windows such a GoodNotes, Notability, Adobe Acrobat, Foxit, Penly, etc. But unfortunately not for OneNote. This app use another Note-taking method, and we can't make something for it yet. They also available for E-ink devices: reMarkable, BOOX, KIndle, Supernote.

reMarkable

You can import files to your reMarkable device through multiple methods:

  • Using the reMarkable website
  • Through the mobile app
  • Directly from your computer

For detailed instructions, including a video tutorial, visit the official guide.

Note: For importing images or non-PDF/EPUB files, you must use the my.remarkable.com website:

  1. Visit my.remarkable.com and log in to your account
  2. Click Import your files
  3. Drag and drop your file or click Browse files to select it
  4. The files will appear in the My files section on your reMarkable

To move between pages, simply tap the hyperlinks or use the sidebars (on the right or top) with your finger. Note that navigation using the stylus is not supported.

 

  1. Tap the Notebook options icon and select Page overview.
  2. In the top action bar, tap Duplicate.
  3. A copy of the page will appear right after the original one in the notebook. For more details, visit this guide.

 

 

If you need additional space for writing, follow these steps to insert a new blank page:

  1. Tap Page overview in the toolbar menu.
  2. Select where you want the new page to appear.
  3. Tap Add page in the top menu bar. Take a look at a video tutorial on this process.

 

Choose your preferred template from our website. Select the "Digital" type and set the format to "reMarkable" as shown in this screenshot. Then, import the page using this guide.

If the menu placement is interfering with your writing, you can switch to a left-handed version of the planner. This will move the menu to the left side, making it more convenient for you.

If you encounter any problems with your reMarkable, you can refer to this comprehensive manual. That's all you need to get started!

Kindle Scribe

The recommended method for importing files is through the Amazon website:

  1. Visit the Send to Kindle page
  2. Select the planner you want to upload
  3. Note: The file size limit is 200 MB per upload

Important: The Kindle Scribe browser doesn't support direct PDF downloads. Always use the Send to Kindle website for importing your planner.

 

Navigate through your planner by:

  • Tapping on hyperlinks or using the sidebars (right/top) with your finger.
  • If you prefer using the stylus, enable pen input to use it for clicking links.

 

The Kindle Scribe browser doesn't support downloading PDFs directly. Instead, use the Send to Kindle Website to import your planner.

 

Since digital planners are PDF files, they won't appear under "Library" or "Notebooks." Instead:

  • Go to the "Home" tab and check under "Recent." Why they don't appear in the Library or Notebooks tabs remains a mystery.

 

If your question isn't covered here, check the Official Kindle Scribe FAQ for more help.

Onyx Boox

You can import files to your BOOX device through several methods:

  • Using a computer
  • Via a smartphone
  • Through cloud apps
  • Directly downloading PDFs using the built-in browser

For detailed instructions, visit the official file transfer guide.

 

To navigate:

  • Tap hyperlinks or sidebars (right/top) using your finger.
  • Alternatively, you can use the stylus for navigation, but you'll need to enable the pen input first so it can interact with links.

Since BOOX devices run on Android, you can use apps like Noteshelf or Penly, which are highly recommended for working with PDFs. You can download these apps from Google Play. While the built-in app is functional, it offers fewer features compared to these popular alternatives.

 

In some cases, single-page templates for the Notes app may be more practical than full planners. The Notes app supports both PDF and PNG formats. To get started:

  1. Browse our collection of templates and select the one you need.
  2. Choose the "Digital" type and set it to the BOOX format (see example screenshot).
  3. Import the template using the steps outlined in this guide.

 

If the menu placement interferes with your writing, you can download the left-handed version of the planner. This moves the menu to the left side for a smoother writing experience.

If you run into any issues with your BOOX device, you can find answers in the Help Center. That's all you need to know to get started with digital planning on your BOOX device!

Supernote

The easiest way to import files is through Supernote Cloud, but you can also use a USB drive. For step-by-step instructions, including a video tutorial, visit the official guide.

Navigating your planner is simple: just tap on hyperlinks or use the sidebars (right or top) with your finger for seamless transitions.

 

You can copy or move pages within the same document by:

  1. Clicking the three dots in the top bar.
  2. Selecting one or multiple pages.
  3. Moving or copying them to a different location within the document.

 

 

You have two options for templates:

  1. PDF Templates:

    • Browse the website and select the template you need.
    • Choose "Digital" type and set it to Supernote format (refer to the screenshot).
    • Import the file into your device.

  2. PNG Templates:

    • Choose "Image/Sticker" format.
    • Download the zip file, unzip it, and transfer the PNG files via cloud or USB.
    • Place the PNG files in the "MyStyle" folder on your Supernote device, and you'll find them in your list of note templates.

 

If the menu placement disrupts your writing, you can download the left-handed version of the planner. This will move the menu to the left side, making writing more comfortable.
