Full Release:

This NotePlan update is all about auto templates, making it easier to organize your periodic notes! With auto templates, you can set a standard set of tasks, notes, and checklists for specific note types. Once configured, these templates are automatically loaded when you open the corresponding note—no need for extra clicks or taps!

Customize it further: insert a different task list for weekdays and weekends, for example. Let’s break it down:

AUTO TEMPLATES

There are two ways to set up auto templates.

1. Open an existing template or create a new one under "Templates" in "Smart Folders."
2. In the template, click on the calendar icon in the top right to set your auto-insert options (note: the icon only turns blue if an active rule is in place).
3. You can configure templates to be inserted based on specific frequencies, such as daily, or on certain days of the year—like January 1st, 2nd, and 3rd.

Alternatively, you can also set up auto templates directly while working in calendar notes.


SETUP AUTO TEMPLATES FROM CALENDAR NOTES

First, ensure “Show help text (and template button)” is on in Settings → Markdown.

1. Open an empty calendar note (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.).
2. Click on “Insert Template”, then hover over "Auto-Insert" and choose a template.

To remove the template click again on it in the menu (it toggles it on/off). Or go into the template and open the recurrence settings by tapping on the calendar button top right.


OTHER IMPROVEMENTS

- Paste plain text with Cmd+Shift+V
- “Move” renamed to “Schedule”
- Fixed repeat crash (minimum now set to 2)
- Improved formatting when pasting
- New filter option: 'past including today'
- Fixed link alias issues
- Improved cursor positioning after auto-inserted brackets, you can hit enter to jump behind the closing bracket.
- Added shortcuts for opening notes in new window or split view
- Fixed link-tapping crash on iPad
- Resolved layout issues with empty event titles
- Fixed importing of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes from Obsidian
- Improved importing of file attachments from Obsidian
- Changed 'Preferences' to 'Settings'
- Fixed dragged in events created timeblocks and renamed the event in the note
- Fixed dragged in tasks with sub-tasks for creating synced lines from the references didn't make the subtasks synced lines

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 ,

Thank you for your kind review and for taking the time to write one. I’m very glad to hear you enjoy NotePlan.

If you have any trouble using the app, or if you have any other questions or suggestions, please don't hesitate to let me know directly: hello@noteplan.co.

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
