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

Very useful and practical

I have an obsession with to-do apps and note taking apps. I have tried Omnifocus, Todoist, Ticktick, Obsidian, Apple notes, Craft, Evernote,Upnotes, Sorted^3 etc etc. Ultimately I had settled with Sorted^3 with Apple notes. But then I had to juggle between 2 apps. Have been trying Noteplan since past 1 week and liked it for
1. There is iOS app which is good. iphone and iPad are the devices I have with me most of the time , not Mac
2. Notes are stored locally - We can use icloud to sync. Very fast and trouble free as of now for me. Works offline
3. Linking and back linking notes. I have just started noticing the convenience of this feature. I need a PDF file at only once place.
4. Day notes serves well as journal.

There are more worth mentioning but as of now this app is what i have been looking for all this time.
Thanks to the developers

Request to developers
1. We should be able to create a task in day notes using Siri
2. Rearrange the tasks or dragging a task to a date in ios is not very easy. - there should be a way

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind review and for taking the time to write one. I’m very glad to hear you enjoy NotePlan.

On iPad you can hit CMD+Return to "turn off" the editing temporarily so you can drag items. Also there's a shortcut: Control + CMD + up/down (I think on iPad). On iPhone it's similar, but you need to swipe away the keyboard first or select various lines of text. If you got some idea how we can improve it, write us!

If you have any trouble using the app, or if you have any other questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know directly: hello@noteplan.co.

Great App But Needs Improvements

Hey, this is a very good management app but could you look into below -
a) the notification in phone is very poor in design. user need to see the title of action very big. Currently “new task” is much bold. It doesn’t help distinguish task alertss - this is major drawback and I depend on apple calendar notifications instead of yours
b) the folding feature works very differently across web, phone and mac
c) monthly and quarterly is something which is great but missing from web version (I occasionally open it from my office laptop so I need it)
d) many people would love to use it for both personal and work. in a corporate setup, I am afraid that my person stuff may appear by mistake. how about two separate instance that can be switched between. a max of 2-3 is good enough. 2 is sufficient

Developer Response ,

Thank you for your kind review and for taking the time to write one. I’m very glad to hear you enjoy NotePlan.

The folding feature is coming to the App Store version soon, and works like on the web. Other points are noted!

Simple but powerful

Very simply designed app unlike most out there, but extremely powerful to plan your day, take notes, and link your calendar and reminders together.

Would definitely recommend.
