Shiori: Handwritten Planner
Write days. Plan your year.
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shiori is a simple handwritten planner for Apple Pencil, bringing your schedule and daily notes together.
Open the app and today's page is ready. Write plans, diary entries, work notes, ideas and sketches freely, just like in a paper notebook. Enjoy a calm design with paper tones, ink navy and bookmark red.
Key features
- Open today's page and start writing right away
- Move between days with one tap and return with Today
- Choose blank, ruled or grid paper
- Look back at the same date or weekday from last year
- Flag memos with deadlines and priorities
- Manage in-app events or connect to the built-in Calendar; events appear above your page
- See how much you wrote in the mini calendar
- Term tags and fiscal-year display for teachers and students
- Lock past dates to prevent accidental writing
- Dark mode that preserves your handwriting colors
- Keep your writing in view when rotating your device
- Back up to iCloud Drive and restore your entire planner after confirmation
Designed mainly for iPad in landscape, with room for events, the calendar and handwriting. Portrait mode is also supported, with a narrower page and sidebar. You can write on iPhone too, but we recommend iPad for everyday handwriting.
The free version saves up to 14 handwritten pages, or two weeks' worth. Premium removes the page limit with a one-time purchase and no monthly subscription. Backup and restore are also available in the free version.
Your planner is stored on your device. When you create a manual backup or enable automatic backups, which are off by default, a copy is saved to iCloud Drive using your current Apple Account. If iCloud is unavailable, it stays on the device. This is not real-time sync. Restoration replaces the entire current planner, after first saving a local pre-restore copy.

Version 1.8
HANDWRITING, WITH WORDS AND PHOTOS
• Add multiple text boxes anywhere on a page. Move them and adjust their width, text size and color.
• Add photos, paste images, or drag and drop images on iPad.
• Move, crop and resize photos while keeping their proportions. Transparent images keep their transparency.
• Add up to three images per page. Text and photo features are also available for free; the free edition stores up to 14 pages.
IPHONE DUO
See the calendar beside your page when open, and focus on your page when closed. Keep the same day's page open as you fold, unfold or rotate the device. Input modes and the pen palette have also been updated.
BETTER BACKUPS
Backups and restores now include text and images. Choose to keep one to three backups, and find clearer failure reasons in Settings.
iCloud backup is not real-time sync between devices.
REFINEMENTS
We've organized Pen/Select and text/photo controls. Ruled lines and grids now scale with the page. We've improved handwriting display across rotation and screen changes, undo/redo, translations and other visual details.
