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! 🙏🏻😀Anubha

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.

Perfect app for busy people!

I tested out tons of different task and note-taking apps before finding this one--what I was specifically looking for was a digital version of a bullet journal. On top of all the bullet journal functionality I was looking for, I'm discovering many other ways of staying organized. It's taking mental bandwidth I used to devote to keeping track of things and instead letting me feel like I'm on top of my work. I've been using it for over two years now.I'm a professor, so I juggle many hats throughout the day, as well as manage and push forward my own research projects. Anyone who has to do any kind of project management, either at home or at work, will make their life easier with this software. I used to look sideways at "productivity" apps... who has time for them? But this is absolutely making my life easier and me more productive! It somehow reaches the right balance between being simple and intuitive to use, but with lots of deep functionality if you're looking for it.Plus, the developers are coming up with new updates all the time, and they are so kind and helpful when you reach out to them with questions.

NotePlan 3.21.2 is all about the new Apple Reminders integration: push individual tasks to Apple Reminders and keep them in two-way sync. Alongside it you'll find smarter filters, calendar boards grouped by time frame, and a long list of fixes and refinements.
■ APPLE REMINDERS INTEGRATION (@remind)
Push individual tasks to Apple Reminders — just the ones you want, not your whole note.
- Type @remind in a task and NotePlan creates a matching reminder in Apple Reminders
- Add a time, a list, or both right in the tag — @remind(2pm), @remind(2pm, Errands) — all from the keyboard, no dialog needed
- Two-way sync: completing, renaming, or rescheduling on either side updates the other
- Task priorities sync too — "!! task" becomes a high-priority reminder
- Tap the reminder pill to edit it
- Removing the reminder in NotePlan (or deleting the note) deletes it in Apple Reminders too
- Drag a reminder from the timeline or a filter into a note to link it as a task
- Limitations: reminders aren't available in shared spaces, can't be duplicated, and can't be used in synced lines (yet)
■ SPACES
- Backups with restore — long-press a space (or the "Spaces" heading) in the sidebar to create and restore backups; backups are also created automatically daily
- Date links and date navigation now stay in the current note's space — shared-space date links no longer jump to your private daily note
■ KANBAN BOARDS & FOLDER VIEWS
- Group calendar notes by time frame (day/week/month/quarter/year) and drag tasks between columns to reschedule them — tap the "Calendar Notes" title in the sidebar to open it
- Dragging a scheduled task between days updates its date link instead of moving it out of its note
- Dragging a task onto a calendar day or week number now opens a compact drop menu, like on Mac — link the task, or move it to the top, a heading, or the bottom
■ FILTERS
- New {{currentNote}} placeholder for "path contains" — build a filter that always shows tasks from whatever note you have open
- The "Other" line-type toggle is now granular, matching Mac: choose exactly which non-task lines appear (headings, bullets, quotes, plain text, checklists), plus display options. Tip: select only headings for a table of contents of your note
- New per-filter option to hide the "Add Task" button
■ FRONTMATTER
- Links in property fields are now clickable — URLs, wiki links, and markdown links, even when the frontmatter is collapsed
■ PLUGIN API
- Reminders can be created, read, and updated without a due date, and a new .priority field matches Apple Reminders
- description in plugin.json is now optional — commands without it were silently dropped, breaking triggers like onOpen
- onOpen triggers now fire for calendar notes, and more Apple URL schemes are whitelisted (Reminders, Calendar, Messages, Shortcuts, Notes, Maps)
■ FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS
- The share sheet lets you edit the title when creating a new note, and the keyboard no longer covers the form
- Custom transcription hosts (Groq, local Whisper) work again, and failures show a real error instead of failing silently
- Fixed auto-inserted templates landing on the previous day's note after a timezone change
- Fixed [[note|alias]] including the alias in the filename when creating the note
- Fixed several freezes and hangs — heavily folded notes with time blocks, opening notes, adding a note in a folder view, and a permanent freeze from stale time-block ranges
