Planami: Inspired by Hobonichi Planners, Enhanced for Digital Life

If you're a Hobonichi lover, you know the magic: the perfect balance of structure and freedom, calm colors, nice styling. Planami was created with you in mind — bringing the beloved spreads and list pages of Hobonichi Techo and Hobonichi Cousin into a digital space that's pre-set up, enhanced with mindfulness features like weekly, monthly, and yearly reviews that help you reflect and grow, with the beautiful feeling of filling each page with intention, customizable too.

Why Hobonichi Planners Are So Beloved

Hobonichi planners have captured hearts worldwide for good reason. Whether you use the compact or the spacious version, these planners offer something special:

• Thoughtful structure: Daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views that guide without constraining
• Beautiful simplicity: Clean layouts that invite creativity without overwhelming
• List pages: Dedicated spaces for tracking favourite things, wishes, presents
• Quality feel: That satisfying tactile experience of high-quality paper

But as much as we love our Hobonichi planners, digital planning offers unique advantages: instant search, automatic backups, easy editing, and the ability to look back at years of entries in seconds. Planami bridges this gap beautifully.

Planami: The Best of Both Worlds

Planami takes everything you love about Hobonichi planners — the familiar spreads (year, month, week, day) and list pages — and makes it even more accessible, while adding powerful mindfulness and reflection features. Here's what makes it special for Hobonichi enthusiasts:

Familiar Structure, Pre-Set Up

Like Hobonichi, Planami comes with the spreads you know and love, thoughtfully pre-configured:

• Daily pages with space for schedule, focus, tasks, notes, gratitude, stress level and habits (last two in wellness template)
• Weekly spreads for planning, weekly goals, notes and reflection
• Monthly views with goal tracking
• Yearly overview for big-picture planning
• List pages for books, movies, wishes, and more — similar toHobonichi's dedicated list sections with additional options

Enhanced Productivity Features

While Hobonichi planners excel at planning, Planami adds powerful productivity features that make your planning practice even more effective:

• Prebuilt sections: No need to setup weekly and daily spreads, they are already set up
• Smart templates: Pre-designed templates for common planning scenarios
• Goal tracking: Visual progress tracking for your life goals
• Retrospectives: Reflection sections helping to review weeks, months and years, notice wins and easier move to new goals
• Multiple planners: Separate planners and lists for different areas of life (travel, books, wishes, date nights,financial goals, and more)

These features don't replace the cosy nature of Hobonichi planning — they enhance it. You still get that beautiful daily ritual of planning with familiar spreads and lists, but with digital tools that help you stay organized and see patterns over time.

Mindfulness and Reflection: What Planami Adds

While Hobonichi provides the structure for planning, Planami adds built-in mindfulness and reflection features that help you review, learn, and grow:

• Yearly retrospectives: Built-in review prompts that help you celebrate wins and learn from challenges — something not found in Hobonichi planners
• Monthly reviews: Automatic monthly reflection sections that help you track progress and patterns
• Weekly reviews: Quick weekly check-ins that help you stay aligned with your goals
• Historical access: Jump to any date in the past or future from yearly view
• Pattern recognition: See trends in your focus, goals and productivity over time

These mindfulness features are what Planami uniquely adds to the Hobonichi-inspired structure. The familiar spreads and lists you love are there, enhanced with reflection tools that make it easier than ever to review your planning history and see your growth over time.

Extra Features Hobonichi Lovers Will Appreciate

Beyond the core planning experience, Planami includes thoughtful extras that enhance your planning practice:

• Life goals planner: Dedicated space for long-term aspirations with progress tracking
• Travel planner: Plan trips and preserve memories in one place
• Books & Movies tracker: Keep track of what you've read and watched, just like many Hobonichi users do
• Wishes list: A beautiful space for dreams and aspirations

Making the Transition

If you're a Hobonichi user considering digital planning, Planami offers the smoothest transition possible. The structure feels familiar, the philosophy is the same, but you get:

• No more running out of page space
• Instant access to months and years of planning history
• Prebuilt structure without weekly prepping pages
