What's a Digital Planner?
A digital planner is an interactive PDF you can use on your iPad or tablet. It mimics the experience of using a paper planner.
Frequently Asked Questions
An interactive PDF is a PDF that contains hyperlinks, allowing you to jump from page to page and navigate your planner easily.
No. A digital planner is not an app, it is a PDF. However, you will need to import it into a PDF annotation app to be able to write on your planner.
Here are a list of PDF annotation apps you can use our planners on.
For iOS: GoodNotes (paid), Notability (paid), Notes Writer (free), Documents by Readdle (free)
For Android: Noteshelf (paid), Xodo (free)
Nope, our digital planners work on all tablets that are compatible with a stylus. These include both iPads and Android tablets.

Step 1: Choose Your Device
My tablet and stylus of choice is the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. If you have another device, try downloading the FREE Kind Goal Preview planner to see if my planners work on your tablet!
Step 2: Download a PDF annotation app onto your tablet
A PDF annotation app allows you to write on your digital planner using a stylus, or input text with a keyboard. I use GoodNotes (a paid app).
Other PDF annotation apps you can use:
For iOS: GoodNotes (paid), Notability (paid), Notes Writer (free), Documents by Readdle (free)
For Android: Noteshelf (paid), Xodo (free)
Step 3: Choose your planner
Browse my Etsy shop and purchase the digital product of your choice. Use Etsy on a web browser like Chrome (not the Etsy app as it does not support downloading files onto your device).
Step 4: Get your planner onto your tablet
After purchasing on Etsy, here’s how to download your digital files onto your device:
• On your tablet, log into your Etsy account via a web browser like chrome (not the Etsy app as it does not support downloads.). You will also receive your files in an email with the order receipt.
• To access your digital files, go to “You” > “Purchases and Reviews” on Etsy. Click “Download Files” next to your order. You can download the files as many times as you like.
• Once the planner PDF loads on your browser, click the Share icon (a box with an upwards arrow) on the top right corner. Then choose the app you want to open the PDF on and import it there.
You’re all set to start digital planning!
