DeskCalendar vs Spread Planner

DeskCalendar is a simple handwritten desk calendar for iPad. Use it like a paper calendar: write notes and plans by hand, switch between month, week, and diary views, and keep your schedule in a way that feels natural to you. The app is built around a large, readable calendar screen, so you can open it and quickly check today, this week, or the current month. With Apple Pencil support, you can write small notes, reminders, plans, and daily records directly onto the calendar. DeskCalendar can also display events from the iOS Calendar and Reminders apps, letting you view your existing schedule while adding your own handwritten notes on top. Main features: - Month, week, and diary views - Handwritten notes with Apple Pencil - Pen, highlighter, and eraser tools - iOS Calendar event display - Reminder display - Multiple Books - Week start day setting - Timeline display hour settings - Calendar image sharing - iCloud sync display on iPhone - Backup and restore with Google Drive - Widget support The free version lets you try the calendar for last month, this month, and next month. With the Pro upgrade, you can use a wider date range and keep DeskCalendar as a long-term handwritten calendar. DeskCalendar is made for people who want a calendar that stays simple, readable, and flexible, with the freedom of handwriting.

Spread Planner is a planner that shows your week and your handwritten notes as a two-page spread. With week, month and year spreads, you can see all the way to next year. - Opens like an A6 planner The inner display of iPhone Duo has almost the same proportions as A-series paper. Open it and your week sits on the left page and your notes on the right, just like an open A6 planner. Half-open it and the fold becomes the spine. Close it to see just today's page. - Your week on the left, handwriting on the right Type your plans for each day on the week page. Events from your iOS Calendar appear right on the lines (read only, never changed). Japanese public holidays can be shown on the dates. Write by hand on the note page. - Choose your paper Lined and grid paper are free. Pro adds dot, blank, timeline and two-column paper, and you can pick a different paper for every week. - Monthly and yearly spreads (Pro) See the whole month across two pages. Like a paper planner, the seven days span both pages, with monthly notes at the far right. Tap a day to jump to that week.
