How to use a digital planner
As evidenced by all my printable planner pages, I love digital planning. I just don't like typing things into my notes or reminders app on my phone.
However, carrying my favorite Happy Planner around in my purse is pretty awkward. That's why I started looking into digital planning. Digital planning is not typing notes on your tablet - it's more more similar to a "real life" planning experience with colorful planners, digital stickers, and the ability to doodle and write on your planner.
Digital planning isn't difficult, but there are a couple of steps to get your planner onto your tablet.
You will need:
- A compatible tablet
- A stylus (such as the Apple Pencil)
- A planning App. Goodnotes and Noteshelf are the most popular
- Your digital planner!
How to import a digital planner into Goodnotes
- After downloading the PDF file, the planner will open in the Safari browser of your iPad.
- Click on the Share button on the top right corner.
- You might have to scroll and select copy to Goodnotes.
- In Goodnotes, choose a location and click the import as a new document button.
How to use the Goodnotes app
Sometimes people have trouble and aren't able to get the hyperlinked tabs to click when they use Goodnotes.
How to use hyperlinked tabs in Goodnotes
- For the tabs to work, you need to be in the Read-Only Mode in Goodnotes. You should see an icon of a pencil with a line through it.
- This mode lets you navigate through your pages easily.
- All other inputs, like the pen/stylus, are blocked when this mode is active.
How to write on your digital panner in Goodnotes
- To be able to write on your planner, you need to deselect the Read-Only Mode in Goodnotes. You should see an icon that looks like a pencil drawing a loop.
- You can use the writing tools like the pen and highlighter in this mode.

Hello! Many Android users prefer to use the Noteshelf app. I don't have typed up instructions on how to use it because I don't even have access to an Android device to test things out. If you search for "how to use Noteshelf with a digital planner" or something similar to that, I'm sure you an find helpful videos that can walk you through it. I hope that's helpful!
