Digital planners are like paper planners in digital form. Digital planners are literally PDF files that were designed, structured, and constructed in software like Affinity Publisher, Apple Keynote, or PowerPoint; then exported as a PDF.

The exported PDF file is imported into note-taking software on your device that will allow you to interact with your digital planner.

If you're the type of planner who loves to use stickers, sticky notes, and washi tape, then you'll be especially excited because any image file can be imported and used as a sticker; and it never runs out like with physical stickers.

There are so many creators designing wonderful digital stickers/art to make your digital paper pop!

No they do not. A digital planner is just like a paper planner in this way. It is completely independent of any calendar app.

Note-taking software turns your digital device into paper. It essentially turns your planner "on" and allows you to use it like you would a paper planner. No need to carry around pens, pencils, highlighters etc., all of these items can be turned on and used within the note-taking app.

The most popular apps are GoodNotes, Noteshelf, and XoDo.

You need an iPad (preferred) with an Apple Pencil, or an Android Tablet with a dedicated Stylus (like the Samsung Galaxy Tab). These are the devices that give you the best and most authentic planner experience. You'll need a Note-taking app like GoodNotes, Noteshelf or Xodo. Lastly, you need a Joyfully Paperless Digital Product, then let the creativity begin!

Absolutely! Information created within your note-taking app is backed-up to the cloud server being used on your digital device. You will never use your creations.

You can even export the entire planner, journal or notebook from your note-taking app and save it as a file with all of your amazing content in it.
