NotePlan - Planning with Notes for PC and Mac

Software Reviews and Criticism

  An amazing app with a great developer behind it

  I used NotePlan 2 and then stopped because there were some things it wasn't doing for me. NotePlan 3 has filled those gaps, and now I'm back! This is a great tool for keeping track of all your things: Todo/task list, meeting notes, external brain, etc. Since everything is in Markdown, it's also easy to work with via other tools if you need, so it's very extensible. And the support for NotePlan is unique. Eduard is a responsive, friendly person who will work with you to help get things worked out! I've never had the types of conversations I've had with Eduard with any other paid app. It's like I'm a real person and not just a "customer" or "user".

  Great tool for productivity

  Found this app online when looking for an online planner/to-do list and have really enjoyed using it! It helps keeps me on track at work and at home. Both my spouse and I use the app. Love that it can sync with iCloud for calendar and reminders and that there are apps on iPhone, iPad, and Windows. Everything is able to sync effortlessly so no matter what device you have/are using your information is there. People might complain about the price, but there isn’t a device limit, is replacing a paper planner, and this product is really helping me get things done, so no complaints about paying for the app. Thank you and keep up the great work with developing this!

  At long last...

  I have tried them all; currently using portions of day one, omnifocus, and microsoft to-do. But none of those had what I really wanted. I imagined an app where I could look at my day and grasp what I wanted to accomplish,not just in terms of tasks and appointments but also goals and some narrative of what I was meant to do on that day. FINALLY this is it. It's feature rich but not overwhelming. I understand that there is a lot more I could do with the app but the tutorials, which are very well done, assume that I already understand backlinking and how to use it in a practical day to day fashion. I don't really get it. So hey, someone fill that gap please. Bottom line: The VERY BEST app I've ever used.

  Outstanding

  Since I started using NotePlan I instinctively know where everything is and I no longer get sidetracked looking for tasks/notes in different places and stumbling upon irrelevant things. Task management is outstanding. I like that I can keep each little task in context (date-wise and otherwise) by simply typing it up into a day’s note along with at-mentions, hashtags, or a link to a project note. You don’t need shortcuts or clicking around to tag or link the task: you just type. This simplicity helps you stay focused and work really fast. Reviewing and prioritizing open tasks is a breeze. The app is also super flexible; you can adapt it to your own way of working/thinking. And surprisingly, it’s all based on plain text files. I’ve used a handful of other note-taking and to-do apps, but this is on a different level. I am so glad I found it.

  Best app on my phone!!

  I have tried many methods to help me stay organized but, I always ended up shuffling through them for a variety or reasons. The biggest problem I had with other apps was the lack of flexibility. They were too rigid & didn’t allow me to easily make changes or jot things down. NotePlan3 has given me everything I was looking for and more! I use it for staying organized day-to-day but also long term. With functions to tag and date notes, it is never difficult to find what you are looking for. I also love the ability to have the app on my phone & laptop. I always have access to my schedule & notes. Another bonus is the user interface. It is very sleek and functional. It is user friendly & efficient while having the ability to customize it. 100% will be recommending this app to everyone!!
