Christmas Planner FAQ

Does the Christmas Planner need a subscription?

No. You buy it once on Etsy and nothing renews.

What sections does the Christmas Planner have?

7 main sections: Dashboard, Gifts, Budget, Planner, Menus, Cards, Memories. Sample data is already in all of them when you open it.

Where is my data stored?

In your own browser, on your own device. Nothing you type is sent to us. Clearing your browser data clears the app, so keep a copy of anything you'd hate to lose.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The app is a single file, so once you have it you don't need to be online.

What devices does it work on?

Any device with a modern web browser, including Windows, Mac, iPad, Android and Linux.

Can I use it on more than one device?

Yes, but what you type on one device stays on that device and copies won't sync.

How do I get the file after I buy it?

It's an instant download from Etsy. Once Etsy confirms payment, the file is in your Etsy Purchases, and you can download it again any time you're signed in.

What exactly do I get?

Five files: the app, the workbook (.xlsx for Excel and Google Sheets), the printable pack (A4 and US Letter), the free 51-page book The Calm Christmas, and a Quick Start guide.

Do I need Excel for the workbook?

No. The workbook is for Excel and Google Sheets. The download includes a hosted Google Sheets template: File → Make a copy.

You've already used it. That was the demo.

The file you buy is the app above, minus the sample data.
