How to use the iOS integration (iOS-integrated planners only)

To use an iOS-integrated planner, you’ll need to install Paper July’s iOS shortcut. Please see the instructions here for how to download and install the shortcut.

How to access the iOS Calendar: Simply tap the title of any page, including the template pages!

How to make a new iOS Calendar event: There are a few different places where you can make a new calendar event. On a monthly page or weekly page, tap on any day’s number (such as 3 or 19). On a daily page, tap on any hour’s number (such as 11 or 4).


How to access the iOS Notes, Reminders, and Weather apps: Simply tap on the corresponding buttons, as shown in the image below! Please note that these links will only work if the corresponding apps are installed on your iPad.

How to use the custom sections and templates

To access the custom sections, tap the Contents tab in the top-right corner of the planner. Then, tap on any custom section button to navigate to that section.

Each section has a front page that serves as a “section divider.” To add pages to a section, copy and paste any page (such as one of the planner’s templates) after this section divider. How exactly you copy and paste pages depends on your app. Please see these GoodNotes instructions or Notability instructions for how to use the included templates in these two apps!

How to use the included stickers

Paper July’s digital planners come with stickers formatted as PNG images. To use them, please follow your app’s instructions for adding images, as every app differs. You can also check out Paper July’s sticker instructions for GoodNotes and Notability!

How to use the included covers

Many note-taking apps, such as GoodNotes and Notability, have a home page where you can view all your documents. In these apps, you can change a document’s display image by changing the first page of that document. Please see these GoodNotes instructions or Notability instructions for how to use the included covers in these two apps!
