MacRumors Giveaway: Win iPad Air M3 Bundle to Use With Astropad's New Daily Planner App

For this week's giveaway, we've teamed up with Astropad to offer MacRumors readers a chance to win an M3 iPad Air, an Apple Pencil Pro, and a Rock Paper Pencil kit to go along with it. Astropad has a range of useful hardware and software like the Studio, Luna Display, and Rock Paper Pencil, but the company just recently launched a new planning app, the Rock Daily Planner.

The Rock Daily Planner was built for the iPad with full ‌Apple Pencil‌ integration, and it's clear that a lot of thought went into how people use planning apps on their tablets. The app has a clean design that minimizes distractions and puts maximum focus on events and tasks.

There's a side bar with a full calendar, but the most useful view is the daily interface. Each day gets a dedicated page, with an organized hourly timeline and a separate to-do list. A Daily Plan summarizes everything that you have going on.

The default view shows an hourly timeline and to-do list, but there are customization options for adding note-taking pages. You can create a page with dots, lines, a grid, or a to-do list, or opt for a blank page. You can import your calendar, so you can see your hour-by-hour schedule, important notes, and to-do list all in a single view.

The Rock Daily Planner is meant to be used with an ‌Apple Pencil‌, so you can handwrite your calendar events, to-dos, and take notes. Notes can be customized with emoji labels, and can be pinned to the side bar so you can keep what's most needed front and center.

Rock Daily Planner was designed for Astropad's $45 Rock Paper Pencil, and it's free to download and use. Rock Paper Pencil is a screen protector and ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip kit that's designed to provide ‌iPad‌ users with a paper-like writing experience.

There's a microtexture screen protector that goes on the ‌iPad‌, and it has a thin, papery feel. Since it's removable, you can put it on when you need it and then take it off later if you want to play a game. The screen protector is combined with a 1mm stainless steel ‌Apple Pencil‌ tip that feels like writing with a pencil when combined with the screen protector. If you dislike the feel of writing on smooth glass, the Rock Paper Pencil is a useful solution. There are options for most ‌iPad‌ models.

Astropad is providing one lucky MacRumors reader with an 11-inch M3 ‌iPad Air‌, an ‌Apple Pencil‌ Pro, and a Rock Paper Pencil kit to use with the Rock Daily Planner.

Oh you guys have made some rather annoying changes to the submission form. For example, even if I already follow MacRumors on Twitter ("X") - which I have, for years - I still have to click through multiple steps; sign in again even though I'm already signed in; and "follow" again. Even though, behind the "follow" pop-up, it already shows "Following".

What exactly is the point in that?



Follow-up: It appears the "point" is to give Gleam.io full access to my accocunt. No thank you, MacRumors.

I entered and would buy the Rock Paper Pencil, but apparently it's not compatible with my 5th generation 12.9" Pro. I know y'all care, that's why I told you.

No love for those of us who follow MacRumors on Bluesky rather than X The Everything App formerly known as Twitter
Same. I guess I'm a rarity who only uses Bluesky and Reddit regularly. Nothing else.

I'm excited to try the free app. I need to schedule trying to start using a day planner, though. ;) Did sign up for the walk-through email, etc.
