Pencil Planner: PencilTime

A pencil-first planner for writing, planning, and organizing your day. Now with typed text for todos, priorities, and schedule notes.

PencilTime is a handwritten digital planner for people who want a calendar, notebook, reminders, and visual planning space in one app.

Write naturally with Apple Pencil, plan across Day, Week, Month, and Year views, create dedicated Note Pages, and use stickers to make your planner visual. PencilTime keeps the flexibility of paper while adding digital tools like typed day-page text, page links, reminders, bookmarks, note filters, and iCloud sync.

TYPED TEXT FOR DAILY PLANNING On supported day templates, tap active areas to add clean typed text:

• Add typed todos beside checklist lines
• Add typed priorities beside numbered markers
• Add schedule notes beside hourly planner lines
• Choose text color, small/normal/big size, and bold styling
• Keep typed planning text aligned with the template while handwriting stays free-form

Typed text is useful when a task, meeting, class, routine, or reminder needs to stay crisp and readable. Handwriting stays at the center of PencilTime, while typed text gives you another way to keep the details clear.

FIND NOTES FASTER Use Note Pages for information that does not belong on one date:

• Meeting notes
• Project plans
• Class notes
• Reading lists
• Research
• Goal planning
• Analog-style collections

All Notes can now be filtered by date and tags, and the notes browser can expand when you need more room. Note rows show creation date and tags together so lists are easier to scan.

CONNECTED PLANNING WITH STICKERS Make your planner visual and connected:

• Link Stickers jump between planner pages and note pages
• Reminder Label Stickers can notify you at a future date and time
• Photo Stickers add images from your photo library
• Image Stickers import files, including transparent PNG sticker packs
• Label Stickers create headings and callouts
• Emoji Stickers add quick visual markers

Resize, rotate, copy, paste, and arrange stickers to fit the way you plan.

HANDWRITTEN CALENDAR VIEWS Plan at any level:

• Day View for todos, priorities, schedule notes, and daily planning
• Week View for balancing your schedule
• Month View for deadlines and events
• Year View for long-range planning

Use Apple Pencil on iPad or touch input on iPhone. Apple Calendar integration can show events inside your planner, and date labels can follow your device language or stay in English.

BOOKMARKS AND NAVIGATION Move around your planner quickly:

• Use Back to return after jumping between pages
• Open Recent Pages to revisit work opened from tabs, links, bookmarks, and notes
