Portrait vs landscape planner: which should I choose?

Choose portrait or landscape based on how you hold your device, write, and split your screen.

Portrait planners are taller than they are wide. Landscape planners are wider than they are tall. The best choice depends on your screen, writing style, and how you plan.

Choose portrait if

  • You hold your tablet like a notebook.
  • You prefer long lists and vertical daily pages.
  • You often use your planner on a phone or smaller tablet.
  • You like a paper-planner feeling.

Choose landscape if

  • You plan with wide weekly layouts.
  • You use split screen on iPad or a large tablet.
  • You want more horizontal space for schedules, projects, or dashboards.
  • You usually keep your device on a desk or stand.

If you are unsure

Choose the orientation that matches how you naturally hold your device. A comfortable writing posture matters more than having the most features.
