Planner Features

Free Your Left Hand. Free Your Mind.
At Hidari, we've crafted the first planner designed specifically for left-handed writers—not just a mirror image of standard planners but a thoughtful reimagining to suit the natural flow of your hand, your thoughts, and your creativity.
For years, you've had to adapt to tools meant for right-handed users. Now, it's time for the tools to adapt to you. Here's how we've done that:
Why Our Left-Handed Planner Is Different: Date Numbers on the Right
Most planners place the date on the upper-left—exactly where your hand naturally rests. We've moved the date numbers to the top-right, making them visible as you write so you can check the date without smudging or awkward positioning.


The Left-Handed Layout You've Been Waiting For
Traditional planners often keep the schedule on the left side and the notes on the right. We've flipped it. In our "weekly-right" layout, your left hand can jot down notes while your right eye tracks your schedule. It's a smooth, effortless motion that keeps you organized without interruption.


Right-to-Left Opening for Effortless Navigation
With a traditional planner, flipping through the pages with your left thumb can lead to awkward, backward paging. Our planner opens from the right, allowing your thumb to move forward smoothly—no more flipping backward. Once you try it, many of our users say they can't go back!
Ring-Free, 180° Lay-Flat Binding for Smooth Writing
We've taken the time to use a high-quality thread-sewn binding technique—the same used in fine art journals. This allows each spread to open completely flat, without metal rings or bumps interfering with your writing. Just a smooth, uninterrupted canvas for your ideas.

The high-quality binding ensures durability and ease of use throughout the planner’s lifespan.
Hidari’s planners are specifically designed for left-handed users. Their layouts, binding styles, and page designs cater to the natural flow of writing for left-handed people.
