Made for the way you plan
However you organise your life, PlanJour bends to fit it.
Aesthetic planners & journalers
For paper-planner, bullet-journal and Notion lovers who want something more visual and expressive. Doodle event shapes, stickers, custom covers and colour-coded categories: a planner as beautiful as your washi-tape spreads, minus the mess.
Productivity-focused creatives
For designers, writers and makers who need real scheduling power but hate how clinical Google Calendar feels. Drag-and-drop days, recurring events and reminders, wrapped in a warm, notebook feel that actually sparks ideas.
Students managing life & study
For college and uni students juggling classes, social life and personal goals. Colour-code lectures, deadlines and downtime, then reflect in a daily journal that keeps you grounded: a planner that feels personal, not corporate.
Solo professionals & freelancers
For independent workers tracking client work, personal tasks and life admin in one place, no clunky team tools. Categories for every client, a calendar you'll actually enjoy, and a journal to close out each day.
Most of us are work-oriented, and quietly forget about Me
Work books itself in. The rest of your life waits to be remembered - and it usually isn't. Every one of these was built for the part of the week that keeps losing.
Time balance
Every event you colour-code adds up, so you can see the week you actually had rather than the one you meant to have.
“No time for the people you love this week.”
Life Progress Checks
A monthly Wheel of Life check-in. Rate each area honestly and watch the shape change month after month.
“Is my life heading the right direction?”
Year Planner
Decide how you want this year's time split across your life, then see the real split beside the one you chose.
“Plan the year you actually want.”
Reflect every day
Mood, weather, gratitude and one positive thought, with a prompt to start you off when the page looks blank.
“A gentle end to the day.”
Pressed lines & Album
Keep a line you wrote and it waits on its own page. Keep up to three pictures of a day and the year becomes an album - only the ones you chose, never a camera roll.
“The bits worth keeping.”
The honest day
Confirm whether something actually happened. If it didn't, move it to a day that works instead of quietly dropping it - and a gym slot you never attended stops inflating a healthy-looking year.
“Did this actually happen?”
No card needed. Free is a real plan, not a trial.
A calendar app and journal app, in one
Everything you'd want from a digital planner, none of the clinical spreadsheet feel.
A calendar with personality
Sticky notes, pills, flags and playful boxes, each one stickered and colour-coded by the part of your life it belongs to. Underneath the paper it is a proper calendar: day, week, month, year and agenda views that hold up when the week gets busy.
- Recurring events that survive being moved or ended early
- Drag-and-drop rescheduling, plus quick add in plain English
- Colour-coded life categories you can rename and reorder
See where your time actually goes
Every event you colour-code quietly adds up. One glance shows how your day, week or whole year really split across work, health, people and rest - and because you can confirm what actually happened, the picture is the real one rather than the one you intended.
- Honest figures: one tap confirms whether an event actually happened
- Time balance for today, this week, this month or the year
- A per-day shape showing what is owed and what is yours
A journal that feels real
Cream paper, ruled lines and pages that open like a real notebook, one page per day. Mood, gratitude, wins, habits and up to three photos, all in a page you will actually want to fill in.
- Wins carried over automatically from the day's calendar
- Habits that survive a bad week - momentum that bends, never a zero
- A writing prompt waiting each day, so you never face a blank page
- Press a line you like and keep it on its own page
Design your own cover
Choose from fifteen illustrated covers - celestial, botanical, nautical, street art and more - or build your own from a colour, a pattern and a foil accent. Name it, and it is yours from the very first page. Redesign it whenever the mood changes.
- Two dozen patterns, from pinstripe to pressed leaves
- Gold, silver or rose foil on the title and binding
- Featured art covers, or your own title text
Reflect every day
Log how the day felt and what the weather did, note what you are grateful for, and let a writing prompt start you off when the page looks blank. A gentle end to the day that takes about a minute.
- Mood and weather chips, plus one positive thought
- Writing prompts when you would rather not start cold
- A monthly recap assembled from what you wrote

PlanJour Plus
And three that go further
The parts of Plus that are hardest to explain in a sentence, so here they are in motion.
Is my life heading the right direction?
A monthly Wheel of Life check-in. Rate each area one to ten, then watch the shape change month after month - the repeated snapshot is the part that actually tells you something.
Plan the whole year, then check
Decide how you want this year's time split across your life, then see the real split from your calendar beside the one you chose. A mirror, held up early enough to matter.
A diary we genuinely cannot read
Your journal encrypted in your own browser, with a recovery key our servers never receive. Not a promise about our behaviour - a fact about our capability.

Questions, answered
Everything people usually ask before starting their notebook.
Is PlanJour free to use?+
Yes. The free plan includes a full calendar with stickers, colours and categories, plus 30 days of journal history. PlanJour Plus (from £4.99/month or £34.99/year) adds unlimited journal history, all covers and patterns, event reminders, calendar sync, PDF exports, Life Progress Checks and the Year Planner.
How is PlanJour different from Google Calendar or a paper planner?+
PlanJour combines a real calendar with a daily journal in one place, styled like a handcrafted notebook instead of a spreadsheet. You get proper scheduling (recurring events, reminders, sharing) with the warmth of paper: stickers, colour-coded categories, custom covers, and a journal spread for reflecting on your day.
Can I use PlanJour just for journaling, or just for the calendar?+
Either way. Plenty of people start with only the calendar and add journaling later, or the reverse. Both live side by side, and your day's completed events can turn into that day's journal wins automatically.
Is my journal private?+
Yes. Your journal entries are private to your account. PlanJour never shares your calendar or journal content with anyone else unless you specifically turn on calendar sharing with someone you choose.
Does PlanJour work on mobile?+
Yes. PlanJour works in any mobile browser, and during onboarding you can add it to your phone's home screen for a one-tap, app-like experience.
Can I cancel PlanJour Plus at any time?+
Yes. Cancel anytime from your Account page. You'll keep Plus access until the end of your current billing period, and none of your data is ever deleted when you cancel or downgrade.
