Lightweight OneNote Planner 2025

To use a OneNote planner, you need:

1. A free, personal Microsoft account. Your OneNote files will be saved and synced on OneDrive across all your devices. Every free, personal Microsoft account comes with 5 GB of OneDrive storage. Please check your OneNote planner’s file size and ensure you have enough space on your OneDrive. If you plan on importing your planner to your work or school account, please refer to "Can I import my OneNote planner to my work or school Microsoft account?" for more details.
   

2. OneNote, which is a free program and app available for download on Windows, Mac OS, iOS, and Android from here. All OneNote planners need to be imported to your OneDrive account before you can use them. This is a one-time process that should be completed on a computer for best results. After this process is completed, you will be able to access your planner on any device with OneNote installed. Instructions on the importing process is included in a PDF guide with your purchase. A video tutorial is also available here.

Yes you can! Please double-check with your IT department to make sure your organization does not block third-party files before making your purchase. Otherwise, you may need to import your planner to your personal OneDrive account instead of your work/school account.

There are three importing options available for work or school Microsoft accounts:

Option 1: Using a .onepkg File (Windows only)

A .onepkg file is a OneNote package file that will load the notebook to OneNote directly, which is included in your purchase. You simply need to double-click on it to open it. However, not all versions of OneNote can open this file.

The following versions of OneNote CAN open a .onepkg file:

• Any version of OneNote that comes with Microsoft 365 or Microsoft Office on a Windows computer

• OneNote that comes with Windows 11

All Mac users and users with OneNote for Windows 10 (free version that comes with Windows 10) CANNOT open a .onepkg file and must use the other options below.

Option 2: Sharing the Notebook to Your Business Account

1. Proceed with importing the OneNote notebook to a personal Microsoft account by following the PDF guide that came with your purchase or by following the video tutorial here.

2. Share your planner to your business account. Make sure you give your business account editing rights so that you can edit the notebook from your business account. Please double-check with your IT department to make sure your organization does not block third-party files.

A dated planner has all the days pre-numbered, much like a traditional paper planner. Everything is set up for you so that you can start using the planner right away.

An undated planner does not have the days pre-numbered on the monthly and yearly calendar pages, which allows you to re-use the planner year after year. Before you can start using the planner, you would need to manually fill in the days on the monthly and yearly calendar pages according to the current year.

Undated planners in this store also come with additional perks:

✨Choose to have your weeks start on a Sunday or Monday

✨Customize your calendar pages with pre-built mini widgets (i.e. mini habit tracker, workout planner, expense tracker, and many more). These are designed so that they perfectly fit in your planner
