Plan forward. Reflect backward. Create freely.
A fresh start for the new year: Penjo helps you set goals, plan ahead, and keep a clear, organized journal you’ll enjoy returning to every day.
Penjo is a Pencil-first journal and daily planner with Apple Calendar & Reminders, iCloud sync, and secure Face/Touch ID. Each day opens as a clean sheet for your notes, with powerful on-device handwriting search and creative image tools like background removal, stickers, and instant frames.
Why Penjo
PLAN & ORGANIZE
• All in one: Journal, planner, daily notes, and habit logs together.
• Calendar & Reminders: Check today at a glance, add tasks, and stay on schedule. (Also supports Google Calendar and Exchange.)
• Views that fit your routine: Day, Week, and Month for planning; List & Reader for fast, distraction free browsing of past entries.
• Day vs. List modes: In Day Mode, the next item is the next date and journals open on today’s sheet. In List Mode, the next item is the next nonempty day and journals open to the List/Reader view.
• Sync: iCloud keeps iPad, iPhone, Mac, and visionOS up to date.
• Privacy: Lock private journals with Face ID or Touch ID.
CREATE
• Pencil first: Write, sketch, annotate. Add text, images, shapes, and map cards.
• Personalized tool picker: Create your own set of pens and pencils, reorder tools, and switch fast.
• Scribble text entry: Write with Apple Pencil to enter typed text quickly in text fields.
• Auto-straighten lines: Draw a line and make a tiny cross-mark. Penjo instantly straightens it for cleaner diagrams, arrows, and layouts.
• Create as you go: Background removal, clip with shapes, flip, stickers, instant frames (Image Playground supported where available).
FIND & REUSE
• Find and reuse: On device text recognition lets you search handwriting and text in images, and Copy as Text converts selected handwriting to typed text on your clipboard.
• Flexible pages: Add or remove pages automatically, insert or collapse space; choose dot, grid, or lined paper.
• Copy or move sheet: Duplicate or move any sheet to another day or journal, perfect for reusing templates.
PERSONALIZE & ACCESS
• Personalize: Custom names, covers, and colors; drag & drop to reorder journals.
• Color Bookmarks: Mark day notes with colored bookmarks and filter your journal by color to quickly find related notes, themes, or topics.
• Widgets: Jump to today’s notes and trackers from your Home Screen.
• Export and share: Export pages or full journals as PDF to archive, print, or share.
