NotePlan
One daily note for everything you're running
NotePlan is a note-taking and task management application that combines project notes, tasks, and a calendar into a single daily note. It solves the problem of juggling separate apps for notes, to-dos, and scheduling by bringing them together in one place. Notes are stored as plain Markdown files on the user’s device and sync via iCloud, ensuring data portability and offline access.
The app integrates directly with Apple Calendar and Apple Reminders, displaying events and reminder lists alongside daily notes. Key capabilities include daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly notes; project notes for storing context and decisions; time blocking by dragging tasks onto a timeline; and personal Kanban boards created from project notes. It also offers a web version, widgets, a Share extension, Shortcuts and URL scheme support, and a plugin system for customization.
NotePlan is designed for individuals who manage multiple projects and need to plan their day around meetings and priorities. It is available on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and the web. The product is offered through a subscription with a free trial, with annual and monthly billing options.
