TypeIt4Me Touch vs Pencility Handwritten Planner

TypeIt4Me Touch is a simple notepad app with built-in text expansion for swiftly composing notes and messages. Define your own custom shorthand abbreviations and they’ll instantly be replaced as you type with the longer texts they represent, saving you time and effort. Create and store snippet abbreviations on your iPhone or iPad and gradually build up your own custom shorthand library for quickly jotting things down. Store as many notes as you like to use and reuse later. These can be emailed, messaged and shared straight from within the app, or copied to the clipboard in a couple of taps. Install the bundled TypeIt4Me Touch keyboard extension and quickly bring it up in any app to access long snippets of frequently used text. Addresses, email signatures and boilerplate paragraphs stored locally or in iCloud will always be right at your fingertips. Use them in Mail, Safari, Messages or anywhere else you can type. (NB: the keyboard extension is for on-screen typing only. Bluetooth hardware support is limited to composing notes in the app itself.) Ever wished you could use your Mac TypeIt4Me abbreviations in iOS? This is the app for you. If you use TypeIt4Me 6 (or TypeIt4Me 5.4.x from the Mac App Store) and you keep your abbreviations in iCloud, you can use them on your iPhone and iPad. They will be available in the TypeIt4Me Touch app and keyboard as long as you’re signed in to iCloud. You can also add new snippets and sync them across all your Macs and iDevices. If you’re still using TypeIt4Me 5.5.3 (or earlier versions for Mac) downloaded directly from the Ettore Software website, automatic iCloud syncing of your abbreviations between Mac and iOS is not available. However, you can still use snippets created on your Mac. Just email your Mac TypeIt4Me snippet set files to yourself and open the attachments in TypeIt4Me Touch on your iPhone or iPad to import your abbreviations. With TypeIt4Me Touch installed on your iPhone or iPad, greetings, common phrases, boilerplate texts, URLs or even large chunks of programming code can all be just a couple of prods away. Enjoy :)

It features a drawable canvas for every day, and it is only up to you and your creativity what you write on it. The options are unlimited. Schedule your daily routines.

Draw some beautiful pictures and sketches. Just take your paper planner and bring it to the iPad. And not only that. What you write into Pencility on the iPad is automatically synced through iCloud to your iPhone as well. Support for the Mac will arrive soon. TIMELINE, THE HEARTH OF THE APP * The timeline is composed of canvases, one for each day. * A canvas shows all of your notes, calendar events, tasks, reminders and pictures. * By default, it displays one day at a time. But if you need more insight, there is the Overview mode available. * Drag-and-drop pictures, tasks or drawings. SYNCHRONIZATION AT ITS CORE * Pencility works with the Calendar and Reminders apps. * If allowed, Pencility presents your events and tasks in the timeline so that you never miss an occasion, or fail to finish an assignment on time. * Any changes made to events and tasks are immediately synced back so that they are up to date on all your devices. * Pencility uploads your timeline content to iCloud to make it available on your iPhone. Support for a Mac will arrive soon. MOVE, RESIZE, RESCHEDULE * Pencility allows you to create, edit or delete events and tasks. * Create a new item by clicking on "Create a task" or on the calendar icon in the top-right corner and filling in the necessary info. * Reschedule an item by long-pressing and then dragging or resizing over the timeline. * Set a task completion date by dragging it into the timeline. * Edit item information by single-tapping on it either in the sidebar on the timeline. STUNNING WRITING EXPERIENCE * Pencility uses Apple's PencitKit to ensure the best writing experience. * A tool picker with different drawings tools (a pen, a pencil, a marker, an eraser and a lasso tool) and a vast pallet of colours is always at your hand on the iPad. * Write into the text areas and see your handwriting transform into typed text. This feature works for English and Chinese language only. DRAW, STORE AND REUSE * Do you find yourself drawing the same object every second day again and again? * Pencility has a solution to that. You create it just once, save it to your drawing storage and drag it back to any place in the timeline. ADJUST WHAT YOU SEE * We get that sometimes there is just too many of those events and tasks. Therefore, Pencility allows you to hide some of your reminder lists or calendars. * You can also customize what types of tasks you see in your task list. * Pencility is versatile and it will adjust to any screen conditions. Landscape or portrait, regular or split-screen, with or without the sidebar. ONE PURCHASE, LIFETIME USAGE * Usually, when buying a planner, you have to get a new one every year. With Pencility, you make only one purchase and use our app as long as your Apple account lives. * You can also benefit from the Family sharing feature and get a planner for all members of your family. We hope you will enjoy using Pencility. May it be a helpful tool for organizing both your professional and personal life. Please keep in mind that some of the features are not always available. Writing works only on those iPads which support Apple Pencil (iPad Pro, iPad 6th generation, iPad Mini 4th generation, iPad Air). Text recognition works only for English and Chinese.
