Keyboard writing missing 🥲
This application has a great and beautiful user interface with great colours and options. However for those who don’t use a pencil it’s so hard to write with the finger. I gladly could support this project if I knew I could use my Apple Magic Keyboard to write as well.
Response from developer
Thank you so much for the kind words and for supporting PencilTime! You are absolutely right that typing with an Apple Magic Keyboard would make PencilTime much more useful for people who do not mainly write with Apple Pencil. PencilTime started as a handwriting-first planner, but keyboard text input is something we are actively considering as we continue improving the app. Thank you for taking the time to share this — feedback like this really helps us decide what to work on next.
Want longer pages
I want to be able to continue writing instead of having to ceate a new version
The closest I’ve gotten to by paper notebook
I’ve been a hardcore paper BuJo user for years because I couldn't find a digital app that let me do "rapid logging" without it feeling like I was filling out a spreadsheet. This app changed that. The Apple Pencil integration means my symbols and handwriting actually look like my own, and the dedicated note pages are perfect for maintaining my Index and long-term Collections right alongside my daily spreads. I love that I can use stickers for my keys/bullets but still have the freedom to draw my own layouts when the standard templates don't fit my mood. The real kicker is the iPhone sync, I finally have my full planner in my pocket for quick reference when I’m out, which solves the "bulky" problem I always had with my paper notebooks. It’s the ritual of paper with the digital convenience I actually needed.

Link stickers are a game changer
Love that I can create note pages and link directly to them from my planner pages. Makes organizing so much easier-projects, meeting notes, daily tasks all connected. Handwriting feels great.
