What NotePlan is
NotePlan combines notes, tasks, and calendar information in one workspace for planning projects. Daily notes place tasks and meeting notes beside a calendar view, while project notes connect plans and decisions to daily work. Tasks can be dragged onto a timeline as time blocks. Planning formats include daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly notes, plus project Kanban boards. Apple Calendar events and Reminders can appear alongside notes, and completing a reminder in NotePlan updates it in Reminders. Google Calendar can be connected to view and create events with daily notes. Notes are plain Markdown files stored on the device, remain available offline, and can be exported together in one folder. NotePlan supports note sharing and real-time collaboration, plugins, templates, and visual customization. It runs on iOS, macOS, and the web, including Windows browser access. AI features cover handwriting transcription, note assistance, and voice-to-text. Annual pricing is $8.33 a year, billed 99 annually; Monthly is $12 a month.
