Customize Your reMarkable Planner with Tiles by Key2Success

Most people never need to touch a single one of these reMarkable planner templates. The native daily, weekly, monthly, and goal pages built into every Key2Success planner edition cover the vast majority of how people actually plan, and if that's true for you, this entire article is optional reading. But a specific gap shows up often enough that it's worth solving properly: a workflow the default pages simply weren't built for, a habit grid, a client tracker, a reading log, a project board. That's what Tiles by Key2Success exist to close.

Customization is a fix for a specific gap, not a requirement for a good planning system. Don't feel behind for sticking with the native pages if they already work for you.

Native Templates vs Custom Tiles

The native pages in a Key2Success planner are fixed by design: the same daily, weekly, monthly, and goal-setting layout ships in every edition, built around the workflows covered in the rest of this content cluster. That consistency is a feature, not a limitation. Most planning needs fit inside a well-designed default.

Tiles are the opposite: optional, added on top, and built for the specific formats that don't fit a general-purpose daily or weekly page. Think of native pages as the planner's foundation and Tiles as the rooms you add on only if you actually need the extra space.

What Tiles by Key2Success Are

A Tile is a single custom page layout, built to the same visual standard as the rest of the Key2Success system, designed to solve one specific tracking or planning need. Some examples: a habit tracker grid, a reading or book log, a project or client collection page, a meeting-notes variant built for a specific recurring meeting type. Each Tile is a standalone page you insert into your file, not a separate app or a different file format to manage.

Build Your Own Page Layouts

Adding a Tile follows the same basic pattern regardless of which one you're using: import the Tile page the same way you'd import any PDF onto your reMarkable, then place it in the folder alongside your planner file. Screen size affects how much detail a dense tracker or grid-style Tile can comfortably hold at a glance, so if you're deciding which reMarkable to build a heavily customized system on, our Paper Pure vs reMarkable 2 comparison covers the display differences worth knowing before you commit to a dense custom layout.

Add Trackers and Collections

Trackers and collections are where Tiles earn their keep. A habit tracker gives you a grid you'd otherwise have to draw by hand every week. A collection page, a running list of books, clients, or projects, gives you one place to scan instead of hunting across a dozen daily pages for the same recurring reference. If you're already running a quarterly goal-tracking system, a dedicated Tile is usually a cleaner fit than trying to squeeze a progress tracker onto a page designed for something else.

Keep Navigation Intact

The one mistake that actually breaks a customized planner is dropping a new page in without connecting it to anything. A Tile that isn't linked from anywhere becomes a page you forget exists. Before adding a Tile, decide where it should be reachable from, usually a tab or an index page, the same way every other page in a hyperlinked planner is reachable from somewhere else. A well-placed Tile takes the same couple of taps to reach as any native page. A poorly placed one just sits there unused.

Where to Get Tiles

Tiles are available through the Key2Success shop and pair with any edition you're already running. If you haven't installed your base planner yet, start with our install guide first; adding a Tile on top takes about the same two minutes once the base file is in place.
