Acto｜Handwritten Planner
Plan by Hand, Think Clearly
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Plan your week, write your goals, and find every page later. Apple Pencil first, on-device OCR for Japanese & English, iCloud sync, four Liquid Glass themes.
Acto is a handwritten planner built for iPad. Open it like a paper notebook, write your goals, plan your week by hand, and find what you wrote later — across every page（premium）.
WHAT IS ACTO?
A digital planner where every page is yours to draw on. Five sections work together: a Cover you sign yourself, a Projects index, one Detail page per project, a weekly two-page spread that updates with your calendar, and free Notes pages you can add anywhere.
DESIGNED FOR APPLE PENCIL
・Pressure, tilt, and hover support
・Markup tool picker appears the moment your Pencil touches the page
・Palm rejection follows your iPadOS system setting
・Pencil 2 double-tap and Pencil Pro squeeze respect your system shortcut
・Undo, redo, lasso select, and clear page from the toolbar
YOUR PLANNER, FOR YEARS
The Cover and weekly spreads read your device's date, so the same planner carries from 2026 into 2027 and beyond. No yearly re-purchase, no migration, no "2026 edition" expiring on you.
SEARCH YOUR HANDWRITING (PREMIUM)
On-device OCR reads Japanese and English handwriting after you leave a page, then lets you search by word, date range, or section. Even rough notes become findable. Recognition runs locally with Apple's Vision framework — your handwriting never leaves your device.
ICLOUD SYNC
Sign in to iCloud and your planner appears on every iPad with the same Apple ID. Your data stays in your own iCloud — only you can see it.
FOUR LIQUID GLASS THEMES (PREMIUM)
Sand, Fog, Graphite, and Linen. Free users start with one theme; Premium unlocks all four to match your week or your room.
EXPORT WHEN YOU NEED TO
PDF export collects every page in order. Single pages export as PNG. Share via Files, Mail, AirDrop, or any Share Sheet target.
PLANS
・Free: 3 projects, 10 pages, one theme, PDF / PNG export, every handwriting tool.
・Premium (¥600/month or ¥4,800/year): unlimited pages, all themes, Monthly View, OCR search, every sticker.
・Content Store: stickers
WHO IS ACTO FOR?
・People who plan and journal by hand and want their iPad to feel like paper ・Founders, freelancers, and students tracking several projects in parallel ・Apple Pencil users who want a structured planner alongside the note-taking apps they already use ・Bullet journal practitioners who want digital search and sync on top of paper-style layouts
