Digital Planning Guide for Passion Planners
Welcome to our Digital Planning FAQ page! Explore everything you need to know about using our 2025 Digital Planner and undated options for iPads. If you have additional questions, feel free to reach out!
Essential Questions
Digital planning is a modern alternative to traditional paper planners, designed to work seamlessly on tablets and electronic devices. These planners are interactive PDFs that mimic the look and functionality of physical planners. With clickable links, you can easily navigate through pages. Using apps like GoodNotes, you can write with a stylus, add text boxes, and even decorate with digital stickers. Changes sync automatically across devices using the same app, giving you flexibility and portability.
We recommend GoodNotes on an iPad for the best experience. However, our planners are also compatible with:
- Notability
- PDF Pro
- Xodo
- OneNote (Note: OneNote deactivates the PDF hyperlinks, which you’ll need to recreate manually.)
GoodNotes is popular for its ease of use, but feel free to explore other apps that suit your needs.
