IMPROVEMENTS
- Command Bar Navigation: Hit CMD+Return on folders in the command bar to reveal them in the sidebar instead of opening in the command bar.

FIXES
- Synced Lines and folded text: If you maintained synced lines inside the same note and some were folded "away", they stopped syncing. This is fixed now.

- Time Accuracy: Improved detection of time blocks (12-1pm for example), fixed timezone mix-ups (when traveling), and more.
- Filter Fixes: From synced lines showing up correctly to ensuring events display right even with smaller fonts, as well as switching between views. Also, an empty monthly note showed up when the yearly note was part of the results.
- Interface Enhancements: Fixed the gray overlay in plugin settings and made sure filter selections work smoothly.
- Sync: Fixed creation date was reset after receiving a synced file
PLUGIN API
- Logging: We've cut down on excessive logging from plugins and enhanced logs for HTML views.

version 3.11

Version 3.11
We’ve got a new update to NotePlan for you today with filter views in the sidebar! You can now switch between your daily timeline and filters in the sidebar.
Combined with the new “Rolling 30 Days” timeline option inside filters, your sidebar now has always up-to-date views on yesterday and the next 30 days from today.
Adding in filters makes your daily note even more dynamic and productive by showing a custom list of tasks alongside your daily to-do items.
PLAN SMARTER AND KEEP YOUR EYE ON WHAT’S NEXT — Filter Views in the Sidebar
In NotePlan 3.11, your daily note sidebar now has a huge upgrade with filter views. You can switch the daily timeline for a filter view of your choice. Just click the dropdown button "Timeline" in the right sidebar above the timeline on macOS and select a specific Filter View (CTRL+4).
Filter views also have a new timeline option that makes the filter view next to your daily note incredibly useful: “Rolling 30 Days”. This timeframe shows you tasks from yesterday and the next 30 days *based on your current day*. Having a filter view with “Rolling 30 Days” helps you stay current: you’re always looking 30 days into the future, from today.
One more thing: all tasks inside the Filter View can be completed and edited, too. You can even add new tasks to the filter right inside the sidebar view!
So how can you use the new integrated filter view to boost your workflow? Here are some ideas:
- See upcoming tasks with a tag or mention from a filter. E.g. all tasks from your list “Personal Projects” tagged with #priority1.
- See you overdue tasks filter to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- Create a filter view with an important project and show it in the sidebar to keep the project front and center.
- Want a productivity boost? Why not show the filter with all tasks you’ve completed this week?
The new filter view inside the sidebar lets you stay on top of things even better by combining multiple views inside a single window.
IMPROVED
- Improvements and bug fixes to filters
- Performance improvements (potentially fix for freezing and memory issues)

version 3.9.12

Jan 7, 2024
Version 3.9.12
Bug Fixes:
- Crashes when clicking on a day in the calendar top right.
- Markdown links on the same line as wiki-links broke the latter.
- Added command bar setting to turn off hidden wiki-link brackets (search for "wiki-link" in the command bar = CMD+J)
- Creating / Updating Reminders from other sources than the Reminders app caused "location not supported" errors.
- Could not rename filters to names containing points ".".
Full Release:
For NotePlan’s last release in 2023, we’re bringing you live edits to Filter items! Plus, wiki links now automatically hide the brackets when you’re not editing the link. And as soon as you type opening brackets [[ the closing brackets are added by default. Lastly, we’ve also improved image resizing and tweaked inline code (highlighting and tags).
## Edit Items in Filters
In older versions of NotePlan, the Filter only showed you items but did not let you edit them directly. In NotePlan 3.9.11 you can now easily edit any item (tasks and even subtasks) inside a filter on macOS. Simply hover over an item and select the blue pencil icon on the right. It will also load any sub-items in this process which you can also edit here.
Additionally the events in Filters have been redesigned so it's easier to differentiate them from tasks and the logic has been tweaked so that when you point the filter to a folder you can activate "Calendar" to see only the scheduled tasks inside that folder.
## User-friendly [[Wiki Links]]
Linking between notes in NotePlan using [[wiki links]] is now even easier to work with. NotePlan will automatically add the closing brackets as soon as you type the opening brackets `[[`. The brackets will also be hidden when you’re not editing a link for a cleaner look.
IMPROVED
- Tags inside `inline code` are now ignored (you may need to update the note once)
- Improved code highlighting
- Improved image resizing so small images don't scale up
FIXED
- Fixed .children() function in plugin API not returning valid line indices
- Fixed filter issues where to-do items scheduled to monthly or weekly notes didn't show up correctly

version 3.9.10
posted on 2023-11-28
Nov 28, 2023
Version 3.9.10
Introducing: **time block calendar sync**! You can now sync your NotePlan time blocks to your calendar as events in NotePlan 3.9.10.
## Promote Time Blocks to Calendar Events
You can now sync NotePlan time blocks as events to a calendar of your choice. Click the gear icon in the top-right corner and choose the option at the bottom of the list: "Create Events", and select the calendar you want to let NotePlan sync your timeblocks into. This will turn your NotePlan time blocks for the selected day into calendar events.
This deeper integration with the calendar allows you to “send” your timeline into other calendar and scheduling apps. For example, send your timeblocks to your Google or Outlook calendar to mark yourself as unavailable in these blocks of time. Or simply use it to see your timeblocks appear in your external calendar apps and widgets, so it’s easier to protect your focus time.
## Improved
- Better copy/paste of tasks. When you paste a task onto an empty task line, only the task contents is pasted and not the task icon markdown(`- []`).
- Pasting links in a code block no longer resolves the link to a title.
- The weekly references on top of a daily note now only show the top tasks, with collapsible/expandable sub tasks.
## Fixed
- Fixed various minor crashes
- Dragging a task with sub-tasks not the timeline of a different day assigned the date to the last task in the list.
- Titles of links can be edited normally now, before the keyboard shifted to upper scale randomly.
- When stopping the transcription, the cursor jumped to a random position.
- The Command Bar kept closing during plugin execution.

version 3.9.7
posted on 2023-09-18
Sep 18, 2023
Version 3.9.7
- Fixed: dragging lines left an empty line sometimes
- Transcription was crashing
--- Main Update ---
This update to NotePlan makes working with **indented tasks** much easier!
You can now drag a task underneath another one to indent it. You can also move a task with all tasks underneath as a single group. Inside the editor and to and from references! Speaking of indented tasks: they now all show up in the reference area, too!
NotePlan 3.9.6 also brings **OpenAI voice transcription** to macOS! You can dictate anything you want and have it transcribed with ease.
INDENT AND MOVE TASKS QUICKLY — Drag tasks to create hierarchies, move groups
NotePlan now lets you use drag and drop to put a task underneath another task. Simply drag a task under another and move it slightly to the right to make it an indented one. Moving a task back up is easy, too: drag it to where you want and move it to the left.
This update also makes it easy to move a task with all subtasks in one go: simply drag the top task and everything below it will move around as well. So there’s no need to copy and paste anymore! Dragging and dropping works inside your notes and from the references area, too! So you can drag a list with indented tasks from your weekly note to your daily note just like that.
One more thing: you can now see all indented tasks in your reference area. In previous versions, only the top-level to-do items were available, not the items below.
TEXT TO SPEECH ON macOS — Dictate notes on your Mac
Text transcription was already available on iOS and now it’s here for macOS. Simply open the Command Bar (Cmd+J), select “Transcribe Voice” (or hit Cmd+T) and start talking. Hit stop recording and you can even choose to paste your words as text, a to-do list, summarize it, or even create OKRs!
IMPROVED
- Indent plain text. You can now indent plain text blocks, too. Just like tasks and bullets.
- Theme styles inheritance. Custom themes now inherit theme styles.
- Split views are sized equally now.
FIXED
- Icon alignment in the search fields
- Icon alignment for tasks/checklists/bullets, especially in combination with flagged backgrounds
- An issue with opening and scrolling through some notes
- Better detection of emoji at the end of tags
- An issue with background position (e.g. in highlighted words) in search results
- An issue where dragging a synced line from the bottom duplicated it
- If you had a lot of references and typed something, the editor jumped up and down sometimes.
- Crashes when you have used some special characters.

Aug 10, 2023
Version 3.9.5
In v3.9.5 we have fixed a few crashes caused by the new features
-- previously --
NotePlan 3.9.4 is all about customizing your notes! With new formatting options and styles, you’ll be able to create your own unique color palettes. Plus, NotePlan now has default formatting styles for strikethrough, highlighting, underlining, and flagging styles (! priorities). Thanks to NotePlan’s theme styles, you can design your styles just the way you like!
MORE FORMATTING OPTIONS — Strikethrough, highlighting, underlining, and flagging styles
This update to NotePlan gives you even more ways to format your notes with:
~~strikethrough~~
==highlighting==
~underlining~
Flagging priorities by adding one or more exclamation marks at the beginning of your tasks:
* !!! your very urgent task
* !! an urgent task
* ! an important task
Highlighting your next task by inserting two greater-than signs at the beginning of your tasks:
* > > your next task
All formatting options are available under the Format Menu or the “A” menu top right of your note.
INTRODUCING MORE STYLING OPTIONS — Customize your themes even further
NotePlan’s theme options are now more stylish than ever: you can customize your theme with border colors, underlines, and much more. Fonts and text colors were already available, now with NotePlan 3.9.4 you’ll be able to customize:
- Line spacing
- Paragraph spacing
- Background colors
- Underline colors
- Strikethrough colors
- Leading borders (like the blue quote line) NEW
- Padding of highlights NEW
- Border radius for the background colors (like highlights) NEW
The new options allow you to change the color, padding, and border radius of a specific tag, for example. So you can make the #errand tag a light-blue tag with rounded colors and a dark blue text. Or you can set your own colors for highlights, create additional styles, and so much more.
For maximum flexibility, all styles can be adjusted using JSON.
You can read all about creating your own themes and style in the docs. Search the internet for "NotePlan Custom Themes".
ALSO NEW
Folders: You can now search for Folders in the Command Bar (Cmd+J) and link to folders just like you can link to notes: [[Folder Name]]
IMPROVED
- The command bar now has an updated list of actions for formatting, inserting images and files (just search for it)
- Better performance, especially for very long lines of text
- Speaking of performance improvements: the formatting menu (under the A top right of your notes) now loads very quickly
- The Preferences received a small design update (rounded corners)
FIXED
- An issue with time blocks in indented tasks
- A bug with setting a dark icon: an alternative icon is available now
- An issue with importing Obsidian notes with frontmatter has been fixed

version 3.9.3
posted on 2023-07-08
Jul 8, 2023
Version 3.9.3
This update to NotePlan brings AI to your notes and lets you migrate notes easily from Obsidian! It also introduces a few little formatting improvements.
NotePlan 3.9.3 gives you access to GPT-4 to generate ideas, write texts, summarize paragraphs, and more. Next, a new Obsidian importer makes it easy to migrate your notes, daily notes, and even attachments from Obsidian to NotePlan. Finally, a few improvement to quote blocks, separators, and more bring some extra polish to this release.
(RE)WRITE BETTER AND FASTER WITH AI — GPT-4 is now integrated in NotePlan
NotePlan now lets you use GPT-4 with a couple of keystrokes! Let the AI generate ideas, rewrite paragraphs, fix spelling errors, summarize a wall of text: all inside NotePlan.
Simply select your text, open the Command Bar (⌘+J), type your prompt (like “summarize”) and select “Prompt AI” at the bottom or ⌘+I.
MIGRATE YOUR OBSIDIAN NOTES — An easy way to move from Obsidian to NotePlan
A new importer lets you bring notes, daily notes, and attachments from Obsidian to NotePlan. Obsidian filenames simply become NotePlan note titles.
(Please note that attachments need to be in the Obsidian root folder to migrate attachments to NotePlan!)
ALSO NEW
- Keep separators visible between folded headings. There’s now a way to keep your horizontal separator visible when you fold the heading above. A standard separator `---` will always be folded into the heading it contains. But if you create a separator with `## ---`, it will stay visible when you fold the heading above it.
- Continuous quote line. Previously, the blue quote line for a quote block extended only to the first line. Now the blue vertical line runs along the entire block for better visibility. Tip: If you want to create paragraphs inside the quote block without interrupting the block, use Shift+Enter.
- Orange++ theme with extra formatting options. There’s now a new Orange++ theme available in NotePlan which gives you additional features like strikethrough, underline, and priority flagging.
- Content Encryption There’s a new setting under Labs to store your notes in CloudKit as “encrypted assets” by default.
- Cmd+click on a time block in the timeline to complete the associated to-do
- Shift+click on a time block in the timeline to jump to it in your daily note
IMPROVED
- Folders won’t be automatically expanded when you open a note inside them
- Added "show in sidebar" option not note menu
FIXED
- Fixed conflict resolution on Mac
- Resolved switching crash between event and reminder
- Corrected "constraint failed" error
- Fixed sub-folders synchronization issues
- Solved Timeblock duplication with synced lines
- Fixed moving reminders across days
- Corrected time block notifications button functionality
- Fixed pasting page links from OneNote
- Fixed horizontal scrollbar in tables
version 3.9.2
posted on 2023-06-10
Jun 10, 2023
Version 3.9.2
NotePlan 3.9.2 brings you two features to make your workflow even more productive: sending meeting notes and notifications when time blocks start.
SEND MEETING NOTES WITH A TAP/CLICK — Email meeting notes right from NotePlan
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to send your meeting notes to all participants right from inside NotePlan? With NotePlan 3.9.2, you can! On both iOS (use the share button at the top or tap on the meeting in the timeline) and macOS (click on the meeting in the timeline) you can email the note to meeting attendees directly. It’s a quick and easy way to keep everyone in the loop after a meeting.
GET NOTIFIED WHEN A TIME BLOCK STARTS — Stay on track with notifications
The latest update to NotePlan lets you know when a time block starts so you’re always on track to complete your workload. On both macOS and iOS, you’ll get a notification at the start of each time block on your NotePlan timeline. These notifications are optional and you can turn them off on Mac in the timeline options top right or in the System Preferences (macOS) or Settings (iOS).
IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
- Fixed setting repeat rules for events (it was often showing an error and didn't apply the repeat rules)
- Fixed plugin issues with the command bar on iOS
- Fixed creating meeting note templates on iOS (when you start without meeting notes)
- Fixed crashes when highlighting time blocks ("show" in the context menu)

May 8, 2023
Version 3.9.1
The latest NotePlan release introduces a multi-day view to let you plan your time blocks across up to 7 days. NotePlan 3.9.1 also allows you to complete tasks right from your timeline on macOS!
What’s more, you can now easily switch between a list view and a timeline view to get a better overview of your day and your workload. Plus, on iOS, you can view and add meeting notes right from the timeline view.
MULTI-DAY VIEW: INTRODUCING WEEKLY TIME BLOCKING — Plan time blocks across up to 7 days
Planning time blocks on macOS just got an upgrade! You can now see up to 7 days on your timeline with all events, reminders, and tasks. The new multi-day view lets you look ahead and plan better. Don’t want to do a task today? Time-block it for the day after tomorrow at 2 pm, just by dragging and dropping it from your daily note to a slot on the timeline on the right.
NotePlan 3.9.1 also comes with an option to switch between list and timeline view (in the sidebar). Use the settings icon top right of the calendar to change what should be displayed in the sidebar. This lets you open for example a weekly note, switch to timeline (instead of list) and plan your complete week by dragging tasks into the timeline.
Finally, a new context menu on macOS lets you view and delete events, reminders, and time blocks on your timeline. You can even mark time blocks as completed!
MEETING NOTES ARRIVE ON iOS — A better way to keep track of meeting notes on the go
Meeting notes let you connect an event to a note to ensure you never lose track of information or actions related to your meeting. On iOS you can now easily add or view the meeting notes from the timeline with a couple of taps.
IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
- Even faster performance for users with a lot of notes
- Added x-callback-url to hide the NotePlan badge (noteplan://x-callback-url/iconBadge/?enable=no)
- Added a context menu option "Show events" on iPadOS to show only the timeline of a calendar day (long-press a day in the calendar top right). So you can
switch the timeline inside a project note.
- Fixed an issue with renaming files and folders
- Fixed duplicate references when periodic notes are turned off
- Fixed an issue where images (attachments) were sometimes deleted when a new note was immediately moved
- Fixed an issue with dragging tasks into the timeline from a Split View on iPadOS
- Fixed an issue with date detection in the title of an event
- Fixed an issue with changing recurring events and reminders
- Updated the German translation
- Fixed a couple of rare crashes related to Regular Expressions

Version 3.9
NotePlan 3.9 bring the timeline feature to iOS and iPadOS! Now you can easily see events, reminders, and even create time blocks from NotePlan tasks. Plan your day by dragging and dropping tasks to the timeline, resizing them, or moving them around. This release also brings some performance improvements when you rename folders and notes. Finally, published notes now stay published even if you change the filename or move it around.
PLAN YOUR DAY ON iOS AND iPadOS — Timeline with drag & drop and easy resizing
The much-loved macOS timeline is now available on iOS and iPadOS! Simply tap the “calendar time” icon in the lower right-hand corner of a daily note to bring up the timeline. You’ll see your daily events, reminders, and NotePlan tasks with time blocks at a glance.
You can now also drag any task from your daily note onto the timeline. (Tip: use the timeline dragbar handle at the top to make the timeline smaller and to see more of your daily note!) Once you drag a task onto the timeline, a time block is created automatically. You can easily resize it by long-pressing a task to reveal drag handles. They let you change the start or end time of your time block.
On iPad with an external keyboard hit CMD+Return before dragging tasks.

version 3.8.1

Feb 28, 2023
Version 3.8.1
The latest version of NotePlan includes tables, a much-requested feature. You can now easily create a table inside a note on Mac, iPad, and iPhone. (Tables require minimum macOS Big Sur and iOS 15.) Also new in NotePlan 3.8.1 is the ability to drag and drop tasks from practically anywhere. Simply drag to-do items from your Search, Filters, or References right onto the calendar or the timeline (macOS only). And finally, the latest update brings Synced Lines out of beta: it’s now available as a standard feature.
TABLES — Organize your data even better
NotePlan 3.8.1 introduces tables, which help you present information more elegantly. Think of recipes, a shopping list with quantities (and prices), or any data you want to show in a more structured way. It’s as simple as clicking on the `+` button on a new line on macOS. On iOS, use the `⌘` menu, select “Insert +” and choose “Table”. Adding or deleting rows and columns is easy. Use the arrow keys to move around cells and use the Enter key to quickly add a new row.
*Please note: tables requires macOS Big Sur and iOS 15.*
DRAG & DROP EVERYWHERE — Move tasks around super-fast
The latest update to NotePlan now lets you drag and drop tasks from any view to move to-do items around quickly and easily. NotePlan 3.8.1 lets your drag and drop tasks from Search, Filters, or References right onto the calendar or timeline (macOS only). A handy new context menu even lets you choose what will happen to the task: Move, Link, or Copy it to the destination note.
SYNCED LINES — Now a standard feature
Synced lines let you sync the contents of an item across your notes. Updating a line in one place updates the line everywhere (look for a blue asterisk). It’s the perfect feature for tasks from periodic notes that make their way to other notes (including Daily Notes). Simply check off a task in your Daily Note and it’s checked off everywhere the task appears. Synced lines were previously a lab feature but they are now available as a standard feature.
IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES
- Better note merging when notes are edited on different devices or at the same time
- Accepting a shared note will now move it to the top level of your notes folder
- Fixed a bug where clicking on the month name on macOS shifted the calendar weeks
- Improved website titles when pasting a web link in NotePlan
- iCloud Drive sync is now hidden as a sync option for new users since Cloudkit provides a better sync experience
- Filters have been updated. (1) If a timeframe is selected, the result no longer includes tasks from regular notes that have no date, (2) the timeframe "All Time" is back again, and (3) if "path contains" is filled out calendar notes will be ignored now.
- A fix for local duplicates being created when the file extension was changed
- Undo now works for every drag and drop action
- Better time block detection in other languages

version 3.6.1

Aug 9, 2022 Version 3.6.1
This update to NotePlan lets you work faster and more efficiently with updates to Weekly Notes, filter options, search speed, a quick context menu, and a faster way to insert templates.
EASY LINKS TO WEEKLY NOTES
Linking or referencing Weekly Notes is now easy in NotePlan. Just type > 2022-W31 to link to the Weekly Note for week 31. To make it even faster, start typing > week31 and NotePlan will suggest the week for you. What’s more, you can use the natural language syntax to link to weeks, too: > nextweek, > lastweek or > in5weeks will let NotePlan add the correct weekly note. And finally, you can even use wiki links like [[2022-W31]] or x-callback-urls like noteplan://x-callback-url/openNote?filename=2022-W31.txt to link to notes as well.
SUPER-CHARGED SEARCH
We’ve done a lot of work behind the scenes to make search faster. The result? Searching your notes on macOS is now a whopping 400% faster! If you have a lot of notes, you’ll find things much more quickly with the search option in NotePlan 3.6.1.
FILTER IN SPECIFIC FOLDERS
Filters now let you search through a specific folder. It allows you to create a filter for overdue tasks just in your Personal notes, for example. Or say you want to create a filter with mentions for a specific person, restricted only to a large project. Now, you can simply limit your filter to a specific folder or path. To copy the path to a folder, simply right-click/tap the folder icon in your sidebar and select Copy Relative Path. To make it even easier, the path field filter even has autocomplete!
ALSO NEW
- Context menu options. Click or tap the drag bar to bring up copy and link options.
- Quickly insert templates or format your line by using the + button next to the drag bar.
- Use Cmd+Shift+V to paste a link without pulling the title

- Renaming a folder in the sidebar no longer shows all files in the Notes area
- A fix for title markdown disappearing after typing
- Improvement to the initial macOS font-size
- A fix for excessive auto-scrolling on iOS
- iOS crash and background sync fixes

NotePlan also lets you decide where to put your meeting note. Use a dedicated note for every meeting, put information inside your daily note, or even create a single note with all meetings. Plus, by using a template from the new templating system, your meeting note is automatically formatted just the way you want.
AUTOMATE YOUR NOTEPLAN WORKFLOW WITH TEMPLATES

The plugin lets you work with dates, times, conditions, loops, and even web services. Your NotePlan workflows are about to get supercharged.

Nov 4, 2021 Version 3.2
The latest update adds file attachments as major feature and a ton of smaller improvements!
You can now import files into your notes, the sync (CloudKit) has been improved, so your notes will be automatically merged in case of a sync conflict (when you edit a note from different devices), and more.
FILE ATTACHMENTS — Add PDFs, presentations, and other files to your notes
Drag & drop any file into your note to embed it (such as a PDF). In the background, NotePlan will copy the file side-by-side with your note into an attachments folder and sync it across your devices. Add a PDF from your Mac, open it on your iPad to annotate with your Apple Pencil, and review the same file later on the go on your iPhone.
IMPROVEMENTS
This version of NotePlan also brings a couple of improvements:
- Sync conflicts will be auto-merged if possible. If you edit a note from two devices, you have seen a red bar at the bottom to choose which one to keep. Now NotePlan will attempt to merge your notes automatically, if possible, so you don't have to pick a version anymore.
- Use the new `> today` tag to permanently schedule a task to today until you complete it.
- CMD+K improved, so that you can add Markdown links faster. Copy a link from anywhere, select a word in NotePlan, and hit CMD+K to create a titled link.
- Typing and full-text search performance improved (and CMD+Shift+F shortcut added to open Search).
- Various minor sync issues were fixed and a "CloudKit Console" window was added in the advanced sync preferences to help you keep your database clean and consistent.
Have fun and be productive with this new NotePlan update!
