Planners where every link actually goes somewhere

Three hyperlinked planners for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf and any other app that opens a PDF and keeps its links. Each one is a single PDF of about 4 MB, built by a program rather than drawn by hand — and the build fails if a single tab or date lands on a page that is not there.

This is the same shop as the Drupal and WordPress tools, so it is worth saying what these are doing here. I write software. A hyperlinked planner is mostly a graph problem — 500-odd pages and fourteen thousand tap areas that all have to point at the right place — which is the kind of thing a program does well and a person does tediously. So the planners are generated, and then checked against the finished file.

The three planners

A monthly page with every tap area filled in green: the twelve month tabs, all 31 dates, the week buttons, the section tabs and the prev, next and year-at-a-glance links
The same monthly page with its link areas filled in. In the planner itself they are invisible — this render exists so the tap areas can be shown rather than claimed.

This is the complaint that comes up again and again about hyperlinked planners: a tab that goes nowhere, or a date that opens the wrong day. Because these are generated, the check is generated too. After the PDF is written, the build re-opens the finished file, resolves every link in it, and fails unless each one lands on a real page in that same file. All three planners here passed that check on the file that is for sale: 13,798 links, 14,164 links, 14,164 links, all resolved.

How they are made, plainly

One program lays out the pages, connects them, renders the preview images, and writes the product description from its own build report — so a description cannot claim a page or a link the file does not have. The tests that back it check the calendar maths as well as the wiring: leap years, week starts, and January 2027 really beginning on a Friday, along with no dangling link, no orphan page, and no link sitting outside the page or overlapping another.

I used AI assistance to write that code and to draft the listing copy. The design, the layout and the files are my own work, and nothing in them is taken from anyone else. The same disclosure is on each Etsy listing.
