The Supernote planner is a PDF file with hyperlinks. It allows you to digitize the notes of your paper weeklies and use them more conveniently since all pages will be connected by links. You can easily navigate between the days by clicking calendar dates, and of course between all sections!
The process of preparing for work is as simple as possible. You need:
- PC or laptop.
