I want one that will easily let me have my calendar, to-do list, menu plan and workout schedule in one place. I'm envisioning different tabs for each thing but it's all in one app. Is there any such thing for iPad/iPhone?

I don’t know either but I want that. I am sick of scrolling through my other 2 apps to find the note I want. I keep copious notes and reminders.

Look up digital planning on youtube. Or check out etsy and search for digital planners. A lot of them work with an app called goodnotes but operate as a fully functional planner. link to Boho Berry. There are literally a bajillion digital planners out there and they work the same way Boho Berry does. Just check that out to get a feel for what's possible.  |

Do you need PSE or other software to run the planner? Like in digital scrapbooking? I just want better organization and less hunting for notes I make to myself |

Do you have an iPad pro and an apple pencil? You just write in it like a planner - they're PDF files You can even click on the tabs though and they really work |

DS told me tonight so I will get some cool software then maybe. I can put up with what I have for a few more months. I just want an easier way to plan and I have 20 paper planners and they aren’t working so digital is the next step. I hate notifications but I use it a million times a day and I read my notes constantly. |

I'm a tactile person, despite being tech savvy. I love being able to write in a planner but just having it in app. I carry my iPad with me pretty much everywhere. PM me when you get your pencil and I can send you a planner if you'd like to try it |

Thank you! I am excited to try this knowing I don’t need PSE to use it. I used to be very tech savvy and now it’s beyond me. I am excited to try this out.

This looks really cool. Can I ask if it will sync between my iPad and iPhone?

These options are not for me, then? |

I would set up your workout schedule and meal plans as individual calendars and then use a calendar app the supports Reminders.app to have everything in one place. My preferred calendar app is Cslendars 5 by Readdle and it does integrate with Reminders.

I need one, too. Like Elannah, I rely on copious notes and memos on my ipad and need something to keep everything in one. I was bullet journalling, but stopped a while ago when I didn't have time to set up a month.
I'm forgetting things lately.
I don't have an apple pencil, but DH does and hasn't used it in over a year. Maybe I'll snag his and connect it to my ipad.

I’m constantly on the hunt for a good digital system. I wanted one app to handle it all and have come to realize that it just isn’t going to work as well as using different apps does. I can’t find apps that work as well as the calendar app and the notes app.
I love paper planners and should look for a file that is similar, but I worry about long term storage of the notes.

I'm reading this thread with great interest. I use the native Calendar app and have several different calendars, plus it integrates with my husband's. I have an iPad Pro and pencil, as does he, so I'm interested in what else we could be using.

You can get a stylus that will work with a mini but it’s really not like using a Pencil. I must have had 10-15 different styluses over the years with my iPads before I got the Pro & Pencil at release. None of them were good enough to stick with. The Pencil, on the other hand, I fell in love with on day one and have used it every day since. |

I just got the mini to use for grading in my classroom and I’m not investing in something larger right now! |

its me mg, quick question. If I download a BHB planner, do I need to also download the goodnotes app? I have been looking at YouTube videos, but I’m not finding a newbie, brand new to digital planning video. I like the BHB, and I want to order and download but I want to make sure I know where I’m going with it. Does that make sense? Also, will it work without a pencil? If I like the planner, I will definitely order a pencil, but I want to make sure that I like the planner first. 😁 I have also hooked up with the FB page as well as her website, but the FB page is a bit overwhelming. Thanks for your help!

I use Google calendar - it syncs across all devices no matter the platform.

I just recently got the GoodNotes app, maybe in June? So, I've started planning on my iPad Pro with my Apple Pencil. I got a digital planner from Etsy (not BHB), that I like. I have to watch a few videos on YT to get the hang of it. It's not hard, I just messed up a couple things so I needed to fix them.
I like the premade planners for GoodNotes, I don't have time to learn how to set them up myself. And I'm talking about I got a fairly cheap one that's "blank", except that the tabs are set up for the months (and it has a pretty cover). So when you click on the tab, it flips to that month. I bought pages that I can add to my planner and use every year. I didn't want to have to purchase a new one each year, KWIM. And I already have quite a few digital scrapping files that I can use to decorate it, I'm happy to know I can use them for both areas.
