Your calendar, as a leather-bound planner. CalNote turns the events in your iPhone Calendar and Reminders into a leather-bound paper planner. No handwriting or Apple Pencil needed: tap to add plans on your iPhone, and decorate big days with stickers and markers (the month page, stickers and markers are free). Your plans are saved right in the iPhone Calendar, so CalNote works alongside the calendar you already use. PAGES YOU CAN FLIP Open the cover and turn the pages. Paper texture, ruled lines, and the curl of the page all feel like a real planner. - Month page (free): a whole month on one page, with all of the selected day's plans in the list below - Two-page week: your week on a vertical timeline across two pages - Weekly grid: seven days in large boxes - Day page: one day, large, on a timeline - Year page: the whole year on one sheet WRITE RIGHT WHERE IT GOES Tap + at the top right, or press and hold an empty spot in a month box or on a timeline to add a plan at that date and time. Save plans you use often as templates. REMINDERS AND NOTES, TOO - Reminders page: see today, overdue, no due date, incomplete, completed, and each list, including reminders without a due date. Pick one on the left page and it opens on the right - Notes page: keep phone numbers, packing lists, and anything you want to look back on, with checkboxes and photos. Place the bookmark on a note to jump straight back to it MARK THE BIG DAYS - Stickers: add them next to a date. New designs are added the more days you open the app - Markers: frame deadlines and big days with a highlighter and a short note - Sticky notes: stick them on the top edge of a page and jump to that month - Bookmark: keep your place and come back from anywhere MAKE IT YOURS Choose the leather color and grain, a name on the cover, paper color, ruled lines, typeface, ink color, how today is marked, and whether weeks start on Monday or Sunday. Lock the planner with Face ID or Touch ID. Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets are included. YOUR PLANS STAY ON YOUR IPHONE No account needed. Plans are saved in your iPhone Calendar and Reminders, notes and photos stay on this iPhone, and nothing is sent to our servers. PRICING The month page, Reminders page, Notes page, stickers, markers, sticky notes, bookmark, templates, and look settings are free. Premium adds the two-page week, weekly grid, day, and year pages, My Stickers, the medium and large Home Screen widgets, and the circular and inline Lock Screen widgets. Choose monthly, yearly (7-day free trial), or a one-time purchase. - Monthly and Yearly Premium are auto-renewing subscriptions. Unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, the next period is charged to your Apple ID. You can cancel in your App Store account settings. - When the yearly free trial ends, it automatically becomes a paid subscription.
