What’s New
Version v3.16.2
In this smaller update we are shipping lots of improvements for the notes list and cards views to make it easier to work out of those new views as well as a smaller new feature that lets you change the background color of notes, plus many smaller improvements.
NEW FEATURES:
1. "Add Notes" in Card & List Views + Context Menu
- Quickly add new notes right where you need them with the new "plus" button beside the folder or column name in both views (list and cards).
- Right-click for quick actions (open in a new window, show in Finder, move to Trash/Archive, and more).
- If you group your notes by "folder", the complete path will be displayed, so you know exactly what you are looking at.
2. Change the Background Color of Individual Notes
- Use "bg-color" and "bg-color-dark" in a note’s frontmatter to set custom background colors (supports hex and Tailwind CSS colors). Switch out of the note and back in to see the changes.
Example:
bg-color: bg-green-100
bg-color-dark: bg-green-950
More details in our help center:
https://help.noteplan.co/article/252-change-the-color-of-a-card
The background color is also displayed in the notes list and card views.

Ratings and Reviews
One app to rule my day
I’ve been a NotePlan user since v1. Its usefulness has steadily improved to the point where I now use v3 to run my day, replacing three apps in the process. NotePlan has replaced my task manager, my note taking app and meetings app, plus it provides me with general project planning and management capabilities. There has been some negative comments about the increase in the subscription fee, but I consider it good value for money, given the value it delivers for me.
Developer Response ,
Thanks so much for your review! And glad to see a long-time user, thanks for being part of the journey :)
Best,
Eduard
NotePlan has got a lot under the hood
I’ve used NotePlan two years ago but got distracted by shiny app syndrome. 🤣. In between I’ve given Notion (too slow and doesn’t work off line), Obsidian (too much tinkering), Heptabase(got a lot of promise but I’m not so much a whiteboard user). Came back to NotePlan and was pleasantly surprised at the pace of development. Now having shortcuts added it is like the icing on the cake. Thanks to Eduard for his tireless efforts and the plugin developers ❤️
Developer Response ,

Another paid upgrade
I have originally paid v1 on both iOS and Mac, then came v2, that was a paid upgrade and now another paid upgrade with an insane pricing. Feel like v1 was beta and then v2 was working product, now v3 add new stuff then price x10 every year. Everybody need to get paid for work, keeping and getting more users is another way instead of asking same users to pay more and more.
Developer Response ,
Thanks for your review.
As a solo founder and independent developer, I unfortunately don't have the resources to gain and maintain a lot of users. A lot of time goes into the development of NotePlan, I reserve some time to reply to emails, but my time is limited.
You can also keep using the v1 or v2. You don't *have* to upgrade. Or you wait till you upgrade, then it's not every year for you. The price increase was about 30%, due to the addition of new features. I can't keep adding features and lowering the price at the same time.
Hope you can understand.
Best,
Eduard
