What is a Free Digital Notebook?

If you haven’t used a digital planner app yet, you’re missing out Digital planning apps such as GoodNotes, Noteability, and more

You can use a digital notebook like a real notebook only it has clickable links within it. The notebook is set up with tabs on the right side (like a binder) so you can navigate to different sections.

Digital notebooks are like regular paper notebooks that has tabs in. BUT it has some major benefits.

  • You can search your text or handwriting (makes it so easy to find a past note you wrote)
  • You can add an endless number of pages
  • You can paste images – it makes such a great moodboard or project planner
  • It comes with 9 different page template options so it’s not just all lined pages, blank, or dotted
  • You can easily erase without ripping a page
  • You can type instead of handwrite – it’s up to you which you do!

Laura, You are so kind and gracious to all allow us to use all of your wonderful pages that you created. You have done an awesome job and you definitely have a gift from Jesus!! I have been wanting to try my hand at a digital planner/notebook. My daughter has been trying to get me to do the digital budgeting and my digital planner for several months and I keep putting it off or making excuses of why I can’t do it. I'm just not sure- but you make it look so easy!!

If you could see me now you would say please go digital so you won’t have all those books and papers in your lap!! Ü

Thank you again for the confidence and for the use of the pages. You will be Greatly Blessed!!

Hugs, Michele xoxo

Could you please explain how to copy & paste or insert the page template? I’m very new to Notability. Or maybe a tutorial link?

Please share how to type on the planner!

@Janya, hello! You have to have a digital planner app such as GoodNotes or Noteability. Then, you create a Text box to type in it. It's not a fillable PDF form because it's created with digital planner apps in mind vs. a computer. I hope this helps!

How do I actually write on the PDF? I can open the notebook and add a page template, but I can't figure out how to type into the page. I don't currently have any other digital planner, so I'm a newbie. Also, I tried to copy and paste from a PNG, but I don't have the ability to paste into a PDF. I have Microsoft Edge as my PDF program, if that makes a difference.
