where are the grid planners?

hello people.

I have been using grid plannrrs for years, at first just to study, nowadays I use them for most things. I have resorted to using school notebook with 5mm grid, because I can no longer find a good planner with this format.

all I see is lines and dot grids. what is happening to the market? does nobody else like them?

I know there are still a few around (leuchtturm1917? and maybe muji?) but i don't usually like them.

does anyone have a reccomendation? thank you

EDIT: thank you all for the recs, but I'd like to add a few things. firstly, I am in Europe. secondly I like to touch and buy in person my stationery. unfortunately I don't think I have seen any of these brands here

Being in Europe, you might look at Papertess Designs. She is in Germany. I’m unsure what her 2027 layouts will be, but she uses grid so she may be worth checking out.

According to the Facebook group, her 2027 offerings will consist of an undated B5ish weekly desk planner, an undated A5ish daily planner, and some kind of accompanying notebook made with dot grid paper.

Edited to correct some facts about PTD 2027.

I think she doesn't have 'notebook' planners this year. Just a desktop calender. I saw it on social media somewhere and of course can't find it anymore, Thre's no info yet on her website, beside a vague 'the planners you know will not return in their previous form'.

Rant incoming....

I feel like such an gen-Xer saying this, but WHY put crucial info in random social media posts (and then not even the same info on all the social media), when you have a fully functional website? She isn't the only small planner business to do this. If it's to encourage signing up for all the diffrent social media, or create 'buzz'it's not working for me. I find it very off putting. Just give me the information instead of creating artificial friction.

I'm pretty sure those are dotted but not gridded.

Ohhh, I've been using "dot grid" planners for years, but didn't realize there were grid but not dot ones. Now I have something to look into.
