were looking for a digital calendar with all the fun of a paper calendar. I use the Google calendar for keeping track of appoints and the family shares their calendars so we can coordinate dates. While everyone's calendar can be color coded, it's pretty functional but dull.
I'm a sucker for a kindergartener calendar. Stickers for birthdays, doctor/dental appointments, bill reminders. Hunting around, I found Artful Agenda which can be used on your computer, phone, iPad.
There's a free trial, but after the trial is over you can opt to use a free version or can upgrade for a paid version.
You can customize your calendar by choosing a cover, fonts, color codes and stickers. There are places to track habits, meal planning and other stuff. I don't really plan meals so I changed those areas in the weekly and daily view to keep track of blog topics and the good things that happen to me during the week. Oh, and Artful Agenda syncs with Google calendar, iCalendar, and Outlook.
The free version offers enough customization with free covers and stickers. You can also purchase covers and sticker packages. I haven't done that.
I did upgrade to the paid version of the calendar so I could create my own stickers to use. Like the black cat sitting in the litter box (taken from free Clipart Library) to remind me to change out the litter box liner. A happy coffee mug from one of my photographs lets me know when the Eldest has days/weekends off from the hospital. I really enjoy all the dancing baloney.
The paid version also lets you use a tablet pencil when using the calendar on a tablet. I haven't played with that feature yet. I really prefer seeing the calendar on my large monitor.
If you decide on the paid subscription, you can use my referral code: RC1206433 You will get access to a premium cover and sticker pack. I get a kick back which I assume I use to purchase stickers and covers.
So are you a paper calendar/planner person or do you use a digital planner?
