Free Leather Digital Notebook for Goodnotes & More!

This free digital notebook is perfect for Goodnotes, Notability, ZoomNotes, and any other digital planning app that takes interactive PDF files. It’s brown leather aesthetic makes it versatile for all types of users.  

Digital notebooks are my favorite digital planning tool. It allows you to stay organized because you can have so many different categories within your notebook.

Digital planners often times only have enough tabs for each month of the year and a few extra sections. While I still love to use digital planners, I find that using a digital notebook with a lot of sections (like this one with 100 sections), I can organize a lot more of my thoughts and ideas.

I use it to keep track of my to-do lists, shopping lists, plans for events and parties, random thoughts, and so much more. Individual users will be able to find a variety of uses for the free notebook that matches their own individual needs. Even if you have your own digital planners you like to use, these digital notebooks are a great companion to different planners.

What is a Digital Notebook?

A digital notebook is an interactive PDF file that gets imported into a digital planning app. It is similar to a paper notebook because it is filled with simple pages – there are no calendars, tables, organizers, etc. 

It’s just simple lines (or blank pages – there are 2 versions). This open-ended aspect lets you use the digital planner for anything you’d like. 

At the front of the notebook, there is a table of contents. This is where you can fill in the different category headings for each section of the notebook along with clickable links to each section. 

When you click on the circle number for that section, you will be taken to that notebook section. 

Then, you’ll use it just like a standard notebook – you will write, draw, and doodle to your hearts content. 

What Does the 100 Tab Digital Notebook Look Like?

How Do You Navigate the Digital Notebook in the Goodnotes App?

The good news is that this notebook has a simple navigation. But if you want to see how to navigate it, check out this video I made for my other style of 100-tab digital notebook.

What’s the Best Digital Planner App?

There are so many different digital planning apps out there. My personal favorite is GoodNotes. 

It was really quick to learn how to use especially with it’s ease of navigation. Plus, it’s such a popular app that most any digital planning products out there will work with the app. 

What Can I use the Free Digital Notebook for?

This simple digital notebook is so versatile that it can be used for all sorts of things. Here are a few suggestions for how to use it.

• to do lists
• event plans or notes
• as a digital journal 
• habit tracking
• mood tracking
• daily planning
• study notes
• as a digital bullet journal 
• as a free digital planner

What Are Some Other Digital Planning Apps? 

There are a ton of planning apps out there. To be able to use digital planning products, you’ll need apps that will work with interactive PDFs with hyperlinks. PDF readers won’t work fully on their own – you’ll need some sort of app. These will have an additional cost to purchase them but they are totally worth the small cost.

• Goodnotes
• Notability
• ZoomNotes
• Zinnia
• Noteshelf
• Penly
• Xodo

What Type of Tablet is Best for Digital Planning?

I can only speak from my own personal experience. I use an iPad pro paired with an Apple Pencil. But any app that can take interactive planners will allow you to use these interactive PDFs on any table like Android tablets. 

What are the Benefits of a Digital Notebook over a Paper Notebook?

There are SO many benefits to digital notebooks and digital planning over a paper planner or notebooks. These are nothing like your typical note-taking app. They are more like a traditional notebook but in digital form. 

When I first started my digital planning journey, I was shocked at how much I preferred the digital version of my paper planners 

My absolute top favorite difference is being able to search text. Did you know that Goodnotes (and I assume some other apps as well), let you search your own handwriting? In addition to searching typed text, it will search your own handwriting within your notebook.

This means, if you’re looking for information you wrote down about something specific, you don’t have to flip through pages of notes. You can just search for it! 

Other benefits include the ability to easily move information around as needed. You can copy and paste or cut out information and move it to another section so easily. Plus, adding custom stickers and images from anywhere (pictures you’ve taken, images from the internet, etc.) is such a game-changer. 

What Formats are Included?

You will get one format included, an interactive PDF format. 

Does this Digital Notebook have Hyperlinked Tabs?

No, this particular free notebook does not have hyperlinked tabs. That is because there are 100 sections and 100 tabs would be too difficult to navigate. 

Instead, it has a table of contents. If you’d like tabs, you can check out my other free digital notebooks in this section. In here you’ll find my 12-tab digital notebook.
