Generate Your Planner

Click Generate Planner to create your PDF. Review the views and layouts, then proceed to Auto Sync below.

Auto Sync Setup

Planneriffic auto-syncs whenever you connect your Move via USB. Pick a sync mode — Developer Mode is recommended because it preserves your handwritten notes between syncs.

Non-Developer Mode

You'll see status icons in the tray: a calendar icon when idle, a sync icon during transfer, and a checkmark on success.
