What’s New

Version 3.18.1

This update makes advanced search even more advanced with operators for filters

• Advanced Search: You can now use OR, grouping, and filters directly in your searches. For example:
– "meeting -(work meetup)" → finds “meeting” but excludes lines with both “work” and “meetup”
– "seneca OR marcus -aurelius" → finds “Seneca” or “Marcus”, but not “Marcus Aurelius”
– "source:calendar is:open date:this-month" → lists all open calendar tasks this month

Search also runs faster, both in the main search view and folder view.
Find more info in our help docs, search for "Advanced Search"

• Named Folder Views: Access your saved folder views directly from the Command Bar or via x-callback-URLs. It’s now much quicker to jump back to your favorite filters.

Other Improvements:
• Better caching and overall performance.
• Filters are now excluded from wiki link autocompletion.
• Search text in filter views resets correctly when switching.
• Kanban view: hide insert column option when grouped by standard fields
• Kanban view: dragging cards no longer forces sorting to change to default "order" (disable it in the sort drop down).
• Fixed issues with filters containing “.” in the name.
• Added an option to copy the x-callback-URL of a saved folder view.
• Fixed adding notes to filtered folder view columns creating unwanted properties.
• Fixed template list sometimes appearing empty when inserting a template.
• Fixed app closing after shutting the last window.
• Added icons to the sidebar headers to indicate they can be tapped.
• Developer:
– New APIs (Editor.* and Note.updateFrontmatterAttributes).
– Fixed Editor.selectedParagraphs not containing header information
– Advanced search operators are also available through DataStore.search

My daily workbench

NotePlan has become my main window (other than email Teams) and the single place that I can capture notes, tasks, and reference materials. During my working day I used to use OneNote for notes, Todoist for tasks, and DevonThink to capture booksmarks and frequently used links. NotePlan replaces them all.

Initially I was dissatisified that I could manage my actions as I did in Todoist or Things (where I have nested tags and different filters / views to surface what I need when I need it), and bounced right off of NotePlan after playing with it for a few hours. When I committed to using it for a week and got to know it, I realised that it was just as powerful, just with a different workflow. Having 10 minutes in the morning and end of day to review and reorgaise is the perfect way to stay on top of everything.

There's plenty right there on the surface, but when you start using Synced Lines, backlinks, and custom themes that allow you to highlight delegated tasks, high priority tasks, etc (they offer a a tutorial that makes that easy), you start to realise how flexible a tool NotePlan is.

This is the note and calendar app you've been searching for

This is the one for serious note taking, organising, planning and calendar and reminders flawless integration.

You can link every single, note, task, event etc. to each other. Ease of use with keyboard, for example to create a task you type * and then write your task. To create a dividing line you just type --- and hit enter. This is the fastest process I've ever used.

I have tried, over years and years, every note taking app, calendar, to do list, and none of them have stuck or have been too much hard work.

I don't know why I haven't seen this NotePlan before but I downloaded it yesterday and after only 24 hours I have everything sorted. This will be my daily everything in one place.

I am a business owner, university student, mother of four, and have A LOT of information, dates, research, reminders... This app does it all and works seamlessly on Mac and iPhone,

These people know what they are doing.
This is a legitimate review, I am paying for this. $15 monthly as a test, but after 1 day of using it I will be purchasing a year at a time.

Developer Response ,

Managing my Work Just Got Easier

I’ve been using NotePlan for a little over a month. Already I am seeing benefits in keeping track of what I need to do. I can take notes throughout the day in various meetings and immediately add to do tasks, tag other people, or hashtag particular topics or even start specific notes for certain projects.

I’m still learning to use this tool but have just finished my time with the trial version and have paid for the annual subscription. Looking forward to learning all the tips and tricks of the tool to help me be even better at managing my work.

Developer Response ,

Welcome aboard! 

Feel free to reach out for questions or check out help.noteplan.co pages, our blog and our Discord community to keep learning how to improve your workflow. There's so much more below the surface :)

Best,
Eduard
