reMarkable 2 Planner Guide: How to Organize Your Life in 2025
Out of the box, the reMarkable 2 is just a beautiful stack of infinite paper. While it excels at replacing sticky notes, it lacks the structure needed to manage a busy career. There are no built-in calendars, no project timelines, and no reminders. To fix this, you need a dedicated **remarkable 2 planner**—a specialized PDF file that acts as an operating system for your life. In this guide, we explain how these digital planners work, why contrast is critical for the monochrome screen, and how to install one today.
Why Native Notebooks Fail
When you create a “Notebook” on your reMarkable, you have to scroll linearly. Page 1, then Page 2, then Page 3. If you write down a meeting note on Page 4 and a to-do list on Page 50, you have to swipe 46 times to find it.
This is fine for sketching, but impossible for planning. A proper **remarkable 2 planner** solves this by creating a structured “skeleton” for your notes.
The Secret Sauce: Hyperlinks
Modern PDF planners function like a website. They contain invisible buttons buried in the text.
- Tap “May” -> Jump to the May Monthly Spread.
- Tap “Week 4” -> Jump to the Weekly Dashboard.
- Tap “Notes” -> Jump to the Meeting Index.
This allows you to navigate a 500-page document in a single second. It turns the slow e-ink tablet into a fast productivity tool.
The Monochrome Rule: Contrast is King
This is the most common mistake buyers make. They buy a colorful planner designed for an iPad and load it onto their reMarkable 2.
The Result: The reMarkable 2 is a black-and-white device. It renders colors as muddy shades of grey. A “pastel pink” header might become invisible light grey. A “dark blue” line might look like black smudge.
Daily vs. Project Planners
Most users need two distinct types of organization:
1. The Daily Driver
This is your calendar. It replaces your paper agenda. It breaks your day down by the hour (Time Blocking) and keeps your “Top 3 Priorities” front and center.
2. The Project Manager
This is for work. It tracks deadlines, deliverables, and meeting minutes. Unlike a calendar, it is organized by Topic, not by Time.
Our Top Recommendation
You shouldn’t have to buy five different files to organize one life. We designed the Templacity Ultimate Bundle to be the definitive **remarkable 2 planner**.
It includes:
- 2025 Daily Planner: Fully hyperlinked.
- Meeting Notebook: With index pages.
- Project Tracker: Kanban and timeline views.
- High Contrast Mode: Designed specifically to look sharp on the reMarkable 2’s Canvas display.
Installation Guide
Getting a planner onto your device is easier than you think.
- Download: Save the PDF file to your computer.
- Connect: Open the reMarkable Desktop App.
- Drag & Drop: Simply drag the PDF into the app window.
- Sync: Ensure your tablet is on Wi-Fi. The file will appear in seconds.
Once installed, remember to turn off the “Writing Tools” menu (tap the circle icon) to activate the links with your finger.
