“As a startup founder, I must be as productive as possible. I've tried many productivity programs, only to be disappointed in their performance. NotePlan is the first app that continues to feel fast and responsive, supporting my full calendar, to-do lists, project plans, and meeting notes! Highly recommended!”

"NotePlan is a critical part of my workflow. I've converted fully to Markdown for all of my notes and NotePlan handles this so well, bringing together my daily agenda items and any associated notes I take. I really love the Calendar and Reminders integration, but the flawless sync to iOS really takes the cake."
Brad Rokosz
Enterprise Strategist
Create a [[network]] of notes
Using plain text Markdown files saved in a local folder popular organization frameworks such as Bullet Journal and Zettelkasten are naturally supported.
“NotePlan delivers in a pragmatic and beautiful way the dream of notes and actions in one app. I always have context when doing my tasks. It is simple yet powerful and I positively love that it is built around Markdown, which allows for great interoperability with other apps. It runs beautifully in both my Macbook and my iOS devices.“

"It is not only important for our consultants to keep track of their tasks, but also to document meeting results efficiently. NotePlan shows it's strengths here by allowing us to capture decisions, and action points during meetings and to distribute them to the team.

How does it work?
NotePlan is organized around notes – one note per day, plus any number of undated notes that you can set up in parallel.
Jot down notes and additional to-dos as they occur to you. At the end of the day or first thing tomorrow review the note and prioritize for the next day.
With NotePlan your day doesn't start with a list of unimportant notes and tasks that were automatically carried over from yesterday. Instead, you start your day with a blank canvas, which is like a built-in purging system. You have a daily notepad for quick ideas, pieces of information, meeting notes, or tasks that need to be jotted down.
Make bi-directional [[connections]] between your notes using wiki-links and let your system do the hard work of combining ideas.
Your notes are based on Markdown and saved in plain text files. This means your data is easily accessible at all times (not locked up in a server) and it's highly portable (you can use any text editor). Your devices are kept in sync using CloudKit (fast and reliable Apple database).
NotePlan also syncs with your iCloud Calendar and Reminders, so you have all the important information in one place, right when you need it.
P.S. NotePlan is a self-funded, independent full-time project by Eduard.
