What is Tools for Boox?

Tools for Boox is a handwritten calendar and planner for Onyx Boox readers. 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.
