What Makes a Planner “The Best”?

Before you spend money on a PDF file, you need to understand what you are buying. A static PDF is useless. The **best remarkable planner** must have:

• Hyperlinks: You should be able to tap “October” and jump instantly to that month. Tapping a specific week should zoom you into the weekly view.
• Navigation Bar: A persistent menu on the side of every page (like a website) so you never get lost in a 500-page document.
• E-Ink Optimization: The file must be high-contrast. Muted grey text might look cool on a computer screen, but it becomes invisible on an e-ink display.

1. The Native Software (Basic)

reMarkable includes built-in templates (Grid, Lined, Checklist).

The Verdict: Great for sketching, terrible for planning. There are no dates, no calendars, and no way to link between pages. It is essentially an infinite stack of loose-leaf paper. Fine for a grocery list, but not for running a business.

2. The “Guru” Choice: Key2Success

If you search for digital planners, you will find Key2Success. It is a comprehensive system based on life coaching principles.

Pros: Extremely detailed. Includes vision boards, quarterly reviews, and “ideal week” planning.

Cons: It is expensive ($50+) and has a steep learning curve. The design can feel cluttered on the smaller reMarkable screen, and it often requires you to watch video tutorials just to understand how to use the daily page.

3. The Budget Choice: Etsy Sellers

Marketplaces are filled with cheap downloads ($5-$10). A quick search for reMarkable Planners on Etsy reveals thousands of options.

Pros: Cheap and visually varied.

Cons: Quality control is a nightmare. Many “hyperlinked” planners have broken links or file sizes so large they crash the tablet. You often have to buy the Daily, Weekly, and Project planners separately, which clutters your file system.

4. The Free Choice: ReCalendar

If you have absolutely zero budget, the open-source community has a tool called ReCalendar.

Pros: It is free and generates a basic hyperlinked PDF.

Cons: It is purely a calendar. There are no project management tools, no meeting logs, and no goal-tracking sections. It is a calendar, not a planner.

5. The Winner: Templacity Ultimate Bundle

After testing dozens of files, we built the solution we wanted to use. The Templacity reMarkable Template Bundle strikes the perfect balance between power and simplicity.

Why it wins:

• All-In-One Value: Instead of buying separate files, you get the Daily Planner, Meeting Notebook, Project Tracker, and more in a single download.
• Smart Navigation: Our side-tabs allow you to jump from a “Meeting Note” to your “Daily To-Do” list in one tap.
• Paper Pro Ready: The contrast is tuned perfectly for both the monochrome reMarkable 2 and the new Paper Pro color screen.

2. Open the reMarkable Desktop App (or go to my.remarkable.com).
