What tools do I need to start digital planning?

You need a compatible device, a PDF annotation app, a stylus if you write by hand, and your downloaded files.

To start digital planning, keep the setup simple. You do not need every app or accessory before you begin.

Basic tools

  • Device: iPad, Android tablet, computer, or supported e-reader.
  • App: a note-taking or PDF annotation app that can import PDF files.
  • Stylus: Apple Pencil, Samsung S Pen, Boox stylus, Supernote pen, or another compatible stylus if you want handwriting.
  • Storage: a clear folder in Files, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, or your device storage for downloaded products.
  • Planner or notebook file: the PDF, GoodNotes file, sticker sheet, or template file from your purchase.

Best first choice

Choose one device, one app, and one planner. Learn the basics before adding more stickers, templates, or extra workflows.
