Everything is a link
Tap a month tab and its landing page opens. Tap a date on any grid and that day opens. The + beside every hour on a daily page makes an Apple Reminder for that time, and the G beside it opens the hour in Google Calendar. Four Apple Shortcuts, Tools, Translate, Calendar and Chat, sit on every page but the cover and the index, set up once from page 2.

Good to know
Before you buy
- •You need an app that writes on PDFs: GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Penly, Notes+ or any other. GoodNotes, Notability and Noteshelf are paid apps, some with a free tier; Xodo and Penly have free versions. Apps are not included.
- •The + beside every hour and the four Apple Shortcuts work on iPhone and iPad. The G beside every hour opens Google Calendar in your browser on any device.
- •Nothing to install and no account to make. On a computer the planner builds in your browser; on a phone or tablet we build it on our side and it downloads when it is ready.
- •For your own planning. Please do not share the file, your order code or the builder link.
- •A digital product: nothing is posted, and colours can look a little different from screen to screen. Our refund policy covers the rest.
