Stay focused on Christ in 2024.

A digital planner is a specialized kind of PDF that gives you the "virtual" equivalent of using a traditional physical planner. But instead physically grabbing tabs or flipping through pages by hand, you tap or click on virtual tabs or items which link directly to other pages in the document. Since you’re not simply reading a PDF but interacting with it, it's called an interactive PDF. These kinds of PDFs are designed to be used on a tablet (iPad/Surface) and loaded/imported into a PDF markup app (such as GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf or Xodo) which lets you write/draw on the planner and navigate it by taps/clicks.

No, this is not an app, and you don't need to be online or use a web browser to use it. The Christian Planner is a special kind of PDF document designed to be used with a note-taking or markup app.

Apps such as GoodNotes (Apple) or Xodo (Windows) can import the PDF and let you interact with the planner using their markup/note-taking tools and features. 

To summarize, the Christian Planner is not an app, but you need a note-taking/PDF markup app to use it.

Although the planner has thousands of links, they are internal to the PDF, and don't use or require the web. You only need an internet connection to buy and download the planner.

For the best user experience, you will need:

• a tablet (iPad, Surface) 
• A stylus or Apple Pencil
• A PDF Markup or note-taking app (which lets you draw/write on or annotate a PDF)
  • Such as: GoodNotes 5, Notability, ZoomNotes (Apple)
  • Xodo (Microsoft/Google)
  •  (Please note: OneNote and Evernote do not recognize the internal links of an interactive PDF and are not compatible with the planner.)

Yes, it is possible to use this on a Mac, and iOS with the GoodNotes app, or on PC with the Xodo app. To write "by hand" on a laptop you would use a mouse or trackpad, instead of a stylus or pencil. Text can also be easily added via text boxes if the handwriting/drawing part of the planner is not important to you.

Not presently. We hope to offer more formats in the future. We chose a landscape orientation to allow for generous margins and white space. We chose a Monday start date because for most people the "work week" begins on a Monday and it's visually helpful to group Saturdays and Sundays together at the end of a week (even if we consider Sunday the first day of the week theologically). 

Paul wrote in Romans 5:5, "One person regards a certain day above the others, while someone else considers every day alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind." And in Colossians 2:16 he instructed, "Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath."

MAC OS/iOS: We have tested the Christian Planner most extensively with GoodNotes and that would be our top recommendation. GoodNotes has a MacOS and iOS app to open/use your planner on any Apple device: laptop, desktop, iPad, or iPhone. (But we tend to stick with our iPad Pro.) 

We have not tested as thoroughly with ZoomNotes (iOS), but we didn't encounter any issues with it.

For Android/Window devices, we recommend Xodo. 

(Remember, we also have a 30-day money back guarantee if you run into problems or are not satisfied with your purchase.)

Not at this time, no. 

You can navigate pages via links, write and draw, and import static pictures/photos. But there's no way to directly import or sync with a calendar or other app. iPad owners can split their screens to have a calendar app open alongside their planner and copy and paste events between them.

Your planner can be stored in an iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. account, allowing you make changes, save, and open it across multiple devices (tablet, phone, laptop), but it is technically a file, not an app.

Maybe down the road we'll develop an app, but that is not currently on our roadmap.         

We wish we could give an unqualified "Definitely Yes," but if you have an older tablet, or use a different PDF Markup app from what we have tested and recommend, then the planner may not work or function as expected. 

We offer a 30-day money back guarantee. You may also want to download our free sample edition to see how it goes on your device.

You might first purchase and install one of the recommended PDF markup apps from the Apple or Android app store before making your purchase here to ensure the app works well on your device. With so much content included in your planner, it is a large file and some PDF markup apps we didn't recommend occasionally struggled to keep up.

When Jesus was asked which commandment is the greatest, He replied, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (Matthew 22:37–40)

You might say these are the key commands. Software also has key commands (or shortcuts) to help you get things done more quickly and efficiently.

That’s our hope with this planner, that it would help people grow in their love for God and for others and help them live a Christ-focused life..
