The best

I’ve looked into a lot of notetaking and task management apps over the last 10 or 15 years. Noteplan is the one app that rules them all. It really is just absolutely brilliant. Especially with the addition of the incredible automations and features that are provided by many great plug-ins that other developers have kindly written and made public.
I use Noteplan for all my task management now, which integrates nicely with my calendar and Apple reminders. I also use it for storing the bulk of my Notes and research Info. Although for larger amounts of data, what I would call the heavy lifting of my “second brain”, I do also use Obsidian. Thankfully, Obsidian and Noteplan can integrate quite nicely with Obsidian so that the two are able to work on the same data repository.
I could rave on and on about this app, but really just try it out. But, do take the time to go through the many excellent tutorial videos, because there really is so much power in this app especially in the many shortcuts and automations that it has. Without really learning about the features, it may seem a little underwhelming. Once you get familiar with what it’s capable of I can promise you it’s probably gonna seem a little overwhelming. However, it’s then just a matter of getting familiar with what you need to use.

Noteplan 3 is unstoppable!

Hi there,

I recently downloaded this app and fell in love with it at first sight(or use). I have used all other productivity apps out there across both iOS and Mac, but nothing comes close to the features Noteplan provides. The ability to access and modify my notes, tasks and calendar, all in one place, cross-platform is beyond amazing! That is the foremost thing that sets Noteplan apart, in fact, a class apart from all other apps out there. They all seem to be missing one or the other feature and the closest anything has come to meeting that benchmark, is this app. I saw that people were raving about it on Twitter as well and I couldn't help but get this. I am on a free trial right now and I am set to get the paid version of the app in Sep -The fact that I am leaving a review at this stage is only indicative of the HUGE potential and brilliance of this app. I observed also, like one of the other reviewers here, that the development team is quite responsive and I really appreciate the fact. As a fan of this app, you can expect your team hearing from me with inputs and feedback along the way - I want to see this app get better and the best! There is so much potential here and I am in love with this! Thank you for your and the work of your team to make this possible! 🙏🏻😀

When To-Do is not enough

This app is great for busy individuals who work on extremely complicated projects. If you’re a person who thinks that 24hours is not enough to get things done this app is for you. Personally I do many different, complicated things. From having a homestead and selling at farmers markets to managing a manufacturing shop and working in insurance I am in dozens of meetings every week and there’s a crazy amount of information shared with me. To remember it all is impossible. This app allows me to write it down in easy to remember tasks and link it to notes where I can see the bigger picture for all the things I need to do. The app being able to link to the calendar is incredible as well! Before the meeting I can simply press the button and it brings me back to a note where all the main ideas for the specific meeting are. Since I started using this app there has not been a day where I felt underprepared for anything since it takes 5 minutes of reading my notes to get back to speed on any of the many things that I have to work on. If you’re extremely busy, juggling multiple projects all at the same time and on some days your only free time is traveling from one meeting to the next, I can’t recommend this app enough.
