Forum & FAQ

Scribble Calendar is a handwritten calendar and planner for devices with stylus. Instead of typing into forms you write and draw on the pages with your pen, the way you would in a paper planner – except that the pages never run out and every year, quarter, month, week and day is one tap away.

It exists because a calendar made for typing and tapping gets in the way when you hold a pen. We wanted a planner that keeps the freedom of paper and leaves the layout of your days to you. It also works without an account: nothing has to be registered before you can start writing.

What you get:

• Yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily calendar pages that you write on by hand.
• Notes, a health tracker and a time-boxed planner on the daily page.
• Calendar events shown on the pages next to your handwriting.
• Pens in different styles, widths and colors, and an eraser.
• Team Drawer: shared pages that several people can draw on at the same time, from anywhere.
• Optional backup and synchronization of your calendar between your devices.
• Available in English, Czech, Dutch, French, German, Polish and Spanish.

The same app is published as Scribble Calendar for Android tablets with a stylus and for iPad, and as Tools for Boox for Onyx Boox e-ink readers, where it also includes a template generator and a kanban planner.

Yes. Every page and every pen is free: write, draw and plan on the yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily pages for as long as you like, and your planner stays on your device.

Two upgrades are optional. Premium, a one-time purchase, lets you create and edit calendar events in the app. The sync subscription keeps your planner in step across your devices through your own cloud storage: Simple two-way sync, or Smart sync, which also merges a page written on two devices.

No. There is no Scribble Calendar account, and nothing has to be registered before you start writing. To sync your planner, you connect your own Google Drive, or iCloud Drive on iPad and iPhone.

On your device. Your planner pages are never uploaded to a server of ours. If you turn on sync, they go to your own Google Drive or iCloud Drive and nowhere else, and you can export a backup of your calendar at any time.

Team Drawer is the one exception, by design: its pages are shared with the people you draw with, so they are kept on our server.

iPad and iPhone, where it is made for Apple Pencil, and Android phones and tablets with a stylus, such as the Samsung Galaxy Tab with S Pen.

Yes. The events of the calendars on your device – Google, Outlook, iCloud or any other account your device syncs – appear on the pages next to your handwriting. Creating and editing events in the app is part of Premium.
