Now you can run very large projects from a single “note”, adding tasks under whichever heading you like so that they appear on the dates you specify (for those who don’t know: NotePlan has two separate groups of notes – general Notes, which are basically markdown text files, and Daily Notes, which are basically… well, they’re also markdown text files, but attached to a specific date, hence displayed alongside a calendar view which also shows Apple Calendar events you can add times to your tasks in Daily Notes so they also appear in the calendar view). It’s easy to add tasks (or subtasks: NotePlan does now differentiate) to your daily list from anywhere.įolding (currently based on the simple heading/subheading model, like FoldingText, but folding of tasks/subtasks is on the roadmap) has made the app even more flexible.

After you’ve written stuff down, that’s when you can decide how to use it.

You can start writing anywhere, there’s no need to decide whether you’re creating a task, or writing a comment, or putting together a bullet list. What is is about NotePlan that’s so good? Someone summed it up very well on the Discord forum last night: there are no constraints. The folding just makes an exceedingly efficient to-do app even better. Heh heh – I’m afraid I’ve made NotePlan (macOS/iOS) my definitive task management application, even though we use Pagico at business level. >you’re using headers for your paragraphs).įolding text added to NotePlan. >within the note), so effectively act as paragraph-specific (assuming >original link was included, incidentally (i.e. >Backlinks refer to the specific section of the note in which the >also integrates with Apple Calendar and Reminders. >feature, as is the ability to link from any note to any note. >lengthy) general notes to specific days is NotePlan’s unique This ability to assign individual tasks in (often >Notes, but are capable of assigning individual tasks within the note to >and Notes, which are general pieces of info stored separately from Daily >days/dates, so can be used for journaling, daily task management etc., >two categories of notes: Daily Notes, which are attached to specific >Those unfamiliar with NotePlan (macOS/iOS) should know that there are >you can see backlinks from Notes to Daily Notes, Notes to Notes, or >makes much more sense of the relatively high price. >brings it into direct competition with apps like Roam and Obsidian. Well, this backlink support in NotePlan is a bit of a game-changer. to the nearest header within the note), so effectively act as paragraph-specific (assuming you’re using headers for your paragraphs).Ī very clear and concise explanation. NotePlan also integrates with Apple Calendar and Reminders.īacklinks refer to the specific section of the note in which the original link was included, incidentally (i.e. This ability to assign individual tasks in (often lengthy) general notes to specific days is NotePlan’s unique feature, as is the ability to link from any note to any note. Those unfamiliar with NotePlan (macOS/iOS) should know that there are two categories of notes: Daily Notes, which are attached to specific days/dates, so can be used for journaling, daily task management etc., and Notes, which are general pieces of info stored separately from Daily Notes, but are capable of assigning individual tasks within the note to specific days/dates. What’s more, you can see backlinks from Notes to Daily Notes, Notes to Notes, or Daily Notes to Notes.

And makes much more sense of the relatively high price. It brings it into direct competition with apps like Roam and Obsidian.
