To be honest, the first time I saw Penly (which calls itself a "digital planner + notes"), the word that came to my mind was "refreshing". What it wants to do is actually quite simple-to help you stuff all your miscellaneous ideas, schedules, and creative inspirations into one App without having to trouble with it. The development team is very careful to make your digital life no longer so messy. What it is best at is custom taking notes, task management, and the interface that "reduces cognitive burden"-it sounds mysterious, but it is really comfortable to be practical. Target users, students, office workers, and friends who love to be creative. Anyway, who wants an all-round tool that is not fancy but can fight? Penly is quite the right one.
Imagine having a small room in your head, clean, tidy, and with a little warm light-that's how Penly feels. Unlike those old note-taking apps, where a bunch of buttons knock you out when you open it, Penly is more like the tidy desk on your desk: you can reach what you need, but there is nothing extra. Its interface is designed so carefully that when you start taking notes or making plans, it's like unfolding a new piece of white paper-that feeling makes "efficiency" sound less like a task, but more like creation.
Penly's heart is its ultra-flexible note-taking system. It's not a rigid note, it's more like a pile of wood-you can build it however you want, and you can tear it down and start over at any time. You can insert pictures, videos, checkboxes, and even (if your device supports it) handwritten notes! In this way, the originally dry notes turned into a living interactive page. Meetings, brainstorms, diary writing... use it all you want. Its own formatting tool is also very smart, even if you remember a lot of things, but also can help you clear up, will not look at the head big.
One of the things that surprised me about Penly was how well it worked with your workflow. Calendar, to-do list, cloud drive (like Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.)... it's easy to get through, and you don't have to switch back and forth between several apps anymore. For example, you can directly link a note to an schedule in your calendar, or sync a to-do list to your favorite task management tool. In this way, your mind doesn't have to keep in mind "where is this note" and "when is the task to be done"-it's like having a personal assistant who silently follows your pace and always finds what you need.
Penly's interface is minimalist, and the purpose is to keep you from being disturbed by clutter while working. Its dynamics are very restrained and the colors are soft, making people calm down. There is also the intelligent classification and labeling system that makes it quick and accurate to find notes, and even your brain becomes orderly. Many people say it's easy to get started-opening it is like opening a blank notebook, but those advanced features are hidden in the corner and pop up when you really need them. This refreshing feeling can really help you reduce mental fatigue, and it's not so easy to get tired after working for a long time.
Compared with other note-taking apps on the market, Penly's biggest advantage (and I want to say it aloud) is that it insists on "not causing trouble for you." Most apps pile up features, and as a result, you may actually use less than half of them-Pendant, on the other hand, only retains the core things and does it particularly gracefully. The most unique thing about it is its seamless integration-notes, tasks, and schedules are all in one interface, and you no longer need to "switch channels" back and forth. It feels like a symphony orchestra that works in harmony, with every instrument (every function) sounding appropriately, rather than stealing the limelight from each other. In this way, not only does the efficiency increase, but the brain also lightens. Planning and taking notes are no longer torture, but become a natural thing.
If you are also a person who pursues "cleanliness and unity"-whether it's a student party doing coursework, a professional person promoting several projects at the same time, or a creative artist who is sketching and revising-Penly can give you a very comfortable and easy-to-use platform. What I admire most about it is the seamless workflow integration, which can literally organize the chaotic digital world into submission. Although it doesn't have all the black technology features that geek users want, the elegant simplicity and concentration are really fragrant for those who just want to work efficiently and don't want to be tormented by tools. If you ask me, if you're fed up with all those fancy and difficult apps, try Penly-it might turn your daily planning into a enjoyment rather than a burden.
Open Penly, click the "+" button, or select "New Notes" from the main menu, and you can easily get it done in a few steps!
Of course! Penly can be used offline to take notes and make plans. It will only sync when connected to Google Drive, so you don't have to worry about traffic ~
Use folders, adjust page order, add hyperlinks, and a bunch of stickers and picture libraries to keep your notes neat and beautiful, and you can't stop!
Edit templates, switch landscape and landscape modes, and manually add schedule events to the hyperlink undated schedule, and change them as you want!
No problem! Click "Import", select your PDF, and then you can add hyperlinks or mark it in the workspace. It's super convenient!
Import stickers in batches, save notes in favorites, and edit, rearrange or star them through the sticker library. You can do whatever you want!
Penly is praised for its user-friendly interface, intuitive design, and comprehensive tools for digital planning and note-taking. Many users appreciate the ability to import stickers and organizers, with effective cross-device sync. However, opinions diverge on key features. While some find handwriting recognition best-in-class and enjoy seamless sync, others report stylus delay, eraser limitations, and unreliable Google Drive backup. The app excels in customization with stickers and fonts, yet some users complain about the inability to create original designs, lack of lined paper, and repetitive calendars. Billing issues and poor customer support frustrate some, while others note helpful developer responsiveness to bugs. Language support remains a shortfall—Spanish and Arabic are missed. Overall, the app is beloved for its ease and aesthetics but hindered by glitches, missing basic tools (ruler, laser pointer), and search ineffectiveness.
I truly enjoy using this application and find it very helpful.
If it were in Spanish, I would give five stars. MAKE IT IN SPANISH!!!
It's okay. They don't have a basic ruler on the app.
My favorite app, I use it for everything. I love the effective synchronization between devices, on my phone and tablet. The only thing missing is an eraser that can delete small parts instead of whole strokes. Also, add a pencil option that looks like a pressure-sensitive graphite pencil for drawing. Thank you for this beautiful app.
It is super friendly and easy to use. One of my favorite electronic scheduling apps.
