![]() ![]() To decide where your notes and appointments should sync to, follow the following steps: Go through the motions to set it up (all pretty self-explanatory) and then link the pen up to the app by holding down on the pen's button until a light on the pen turns blue, and then place it near your iPhone. Once you've got the smart pen and planner, here's how it all works: First, you'll go into the app store and download the Moleskine app. Also, you will have to use the smart pen if you want what you write to sync to your digital accounts (though if you don't have it with you, you technically can go back and write over the scribbles with your smart pen to work around that). The considerations to make are how much you'd use it and whether the cost is worth the convenience to you. It's not cheap at $230 for them both, but that cost dips to $30 per year to re-up the planner once you have the pen (and you can probably find the planners for cheaper on Amazon or Jet). The planner is fashioned to look like a tablet but is indeed made out of paper and otherwise true to the iconic Moleskine design. Upfront, you'll need their smart pen - which works with both the notebook and planner - and the planner itself to get started. I'm not sure the satisfaction of writing things down and crossing them out justifies the extra step of filling it in online just to make sure everything is accurate and organized though.

Timepage costs $4.99 from the App Store.Ĭonversely, if you like the idea of a smartpen but aren’t sold on Moleskine, the Livescribe pens start at a little over $150, with compatible books from under $20. If you like the Moleskine look but can’t quite bring yourself to go back to the days of paper based schedules and contacts books, the app launched back in 2015 has you covered. It’s not cheap at $199 for the planner and pen, but once you have those it will only cost you $29/year for a new planner. Provided that a schedule entry includes a time and a description, the Smart Planner will detect the date and sync the appointment to Google Calendar, from where it can sync with both iCloud and Outlook. Personally, I’m a paperless kind of guy, but if you prefer the old-fashioned look & feel of paper schedules, then Moleskine’s new Smart Planner aims to bring you the best of both worlds …Īs Engadget notes, the planner combines a Livescribe pen with sensors embedded in the paper to read your handwriting. ![]()
