I’ve had Friendly Planner for over six months now, and I can’t say enough about how helpful it has been for me. Typing tasks into a calendar on my phone wasn’t doing it — I would frequently miss the reminders regardless of how many I set. I hate using paper, but writing it out does help me better organize and remember what needs to be done. With GoodNotes on my iPad and my Apple Pencil, Friendly Planner is the best of both worlds. With the PDF app on my iPhone and Mac Mini as well, my information is always at hand.

I have ADHD and I am on the Autism Spectrum, and this has so many tools that help me with both. Navigation is easy: need to jump to a specific day? Tap on the day on the yearly or monthly calendar and it zips you right there. I’m not big on doodling, but I can insert photos and sticker, use different ink colors, highlight and more. I use it not just to track what needs to be done, but also note how the day went. I usually set up the next day in the evening before sleep. It also helps me in a surprising way: I can copy undone or incomplete tasks and paste them to the next day. This has helped me identify what things I may be procrastinating on or outright avoiding so I can work on my motivation.

This is the longest I’ve made it with one planner and I’m still going. I’ve missed using it a few days here and there, but it’s easy to get back into it. And I can tell you I definitely notice the difference when I don’t use it. Last year was very difficult emotionally and my brain was a scattered mess. I’m still having issues with my memory, but this has helped me immensely.

Karla, you’re a genius and a life saver!

I glad I found this still trying to put this all together but it’s everything you need in a planner.

Thanks

I'm working on adding this planner to my Microsoft laptop. I've already added it to my iPhone and iPad. However, once the download is complete, nothing else works for me. I've added the digital planner to Xodo on my laptop and to GoodNote on my other devices. It isn't working for any of them. It is not intuitive (to me) and the video to help with the stickers has no sound on any of my devices.

I wrote to Karla and she responded quickly, but only gave me information I received when I placed the order. I need step by step instructions to use this planner - not just download it - and I am disappointed that they didn't come with it in the first place.

Seeking additional help before deciding this was just a learning opportunity to not buy things on the internet.

First of all, a planner (probably any planner) is a great tool to help anyone with ADD or ADHD organize and keep themselves on track every day. This planner does work quite well and is easy to use once you get used to using it. I have never used a digital planner like this before so take that for what it is worth. I have only used one layout so far and I am looking forward to using others very soon. When I use this planner it does a great job of keeping me focused and distracted (when needed) at the same time. I would highly recommend it with the understanding that you need to be patient with yourself while you are learning how to use it, along with figuring out the best way you can help yourself with it. There are a TON and by that I do mean a lot of options here. Start small and stay that way for a bit, and when you feel that you are ready, move on and try a different layout if you feel like it. If you don’t wanna do that, stick with what is working for you. Whatever layout gets the job accomplished and keeps you on track is what is important here.

Since I have made this planner part of my every day routine, I have left work feeling like I accomplished something and my mood has been much better with lowered anxiety. That is what I was looking for from this app and that is what I have found thus far. Recommended!!!

I admit I struggled at first and got a little frustrated when I emailed the creator and didn't hear back for a few days but once I did, I received amazing customer support. Once I got the hang of using a digital planner, I was in love! The more I play around with it, the more features I am discovering. I am using Samsung Notes and can access from my tablet, phone, and computer. I highly recommend this amazing planner!!
