Moleskine smart planner pro 202112/19/2023 ![]() Moleskine says the pen will last through up to 13 hours of "average use" and about seven hours of nonstop writing (hope they don't mean that literally).Īfter I finally got the planner to link to my iCal, I activated the pen and wrote down a few dummy meetings. So if your pen is out of power, too bad nothing you write will be saved to the app. Each time you want to write anything in the planner or notebook, you have to make sure the pen is switched on, or nothing will sync. Go into the Moleskine app's settings, then select "Authentication Center." Pick the calendar you prefer and give the app permission to sync. To get the planner to sync with your digital calendar, though, you have to make sure to follow these steps. Just as with the existing smart writing set, you can use the pen to tap on the envelope icon on the top right of each page to send a PDF copy to yourself or your friends. Once I started writing in the planner, the app detected the new book, it jumped to the page where my pen was, and my scribbles appeared on my phone in real time. ![]() The app found my pen after a few seconds. Linking the pen to the Moleskine app was relatively easy: I held down a button until a light on the device turned blue, then placed the pen next to my iPhone. ![]() The planner also has plain lined pages on the right, where you can jot down ideas or to-do lists, which then sync to the app. Using the smart pen, you write down your appointments on the physical planner and the system will send them to the digital calendar of your choice (iCal, Google or Outlook). I was intrigued by the premise of the connected planner at first. For the purpose of this hands-on, I checked the box, crossed my fingers and moved on. If you do provide an email, Moleskine said, it would send promotional emails from respective channels, and it won't if you don't supply your contact info. "This is completely optional, so you're not required to enter an email or password to use the app or product," the company said. This is usually optional making it mandatory is an oppressive move on Moleskine's part.Ī company spokesperson told Engadget that its privacy policy states that you may be asked in the future to provide an email address and password to access the app. What bothered me was that on the last page, you must check the box that says you agree to Moleskine sending you promotional or informational material if you want to move forward. Normally, this wouldn't be an issue we agree to terms and conditions all the time. You have to check several boxes on each page before you can proceed to the next one, and there's no way to skip any of this. Before you can even set up the pen, the app asks that you agree to Moleskine's privacy policy and terms and conditions.
