NotePlan is designed to make your task planning more productive. It solves problems like bloated, ever-growing to-do lists.
Modern Writing - Enjoy a full writing area with Markdown and injected flavour for productivity.
Calendar Notes - A calendar shows you where the action is. Jump right into a day to manage it by writing notes into each day.
Backlog Notes - Save away your backlogs and general notes behind the daily planning and apart from the calendar.
Features
Full, modern writing tool included for every day of a month - NotePlan will give you the convenience of a modern writing editor supporting markdown. Add formatting to your task lists and notes to keep it better organized.
Monthly calendar overview with color-coded daily note content - See a summary of your notes and color coded lists in a monthly calendar view. Use keyboard shortcuts to navigate and quickly jump into a day to review or edit it. The calendar will also show you, if you missed out on some tasks, so nothing important slips from your mind.
Schedule tasks to stay organized - If you couldn't finish a task, don't leave it unmanaged on the list. Re-schedule it to another day. Or, if you manage a backlog, schedule a todo directly from there onto your calendar.
Backlogs, drafts, bug lists or just text notes, apart from the calendar - Some information is not related to a day and should be kept separated from the calendar. Like bug lists or project backlogs. They can be managed in NotePlan and scheduled directly into the calendar, when required. Notes can be organized by tagging them. In the overview you can filter your notes by tags.
Your notes are not saved on our servers. You will find them safe and sound in your iCloud Drive.
Integrations to useful apps like iCalender, Reminders, and more are available.
What’s new in version 3.13.2
New:
Copy and paste text from websites preserving the formatting (like from a blog post).
Web URLs for images are supported now (like the ones copied from websites), which means images don't have to be downloaded locally.
Copy tables from Numbers or Excel (or websites) into NotePlan.
Improvements:
Syncing attachments and note overwriting improved.
Shortcuts: added 'under heading matching', note title matching is case-insensitive now, fixed opening calendar notes.
Fixed an issue where drawings were sometimes not loaded.
There are so so many other options. Beaver-Note is open source and offers the same features, is multi-platform, and their cloud sync is cheaper. I use Joplin, also the features. YMMV.
It doesn't look like MacUpdate has been keeping this app up to date. It's now up to version 3.8 and is still actively developed. Version 3 is a big upgrade (in terms of functionality and price, now being a subscription), but I couldn't live without it.
With the new 'markdown live rendering' (i.e. you see rich text, not markdown even though that's what it's using), this great task management app has become even more user-friendly. The same markdown rendering is also now live on the iPhone/iPad apps as well.
This is a great app for getting my tasks down and then organising them. Uses markdown as well as the built-in Reminders and Calendar across Mac and iOS
