What's New in NotePlan

3.21.2

August 11, 2026

NotePlan 3.21.2 is all about the new Apple Reminders integration: push individual tasks to Apple Reminders and keep them in two-way sync. Alongside it you'll find smarter filters, calendar boards grouped by time frame, and a long list of fixes and refinements. ■ APPLE REMINDERS INTEGRATION (@remind) Push individual tasks to Apple Reminders — just the ones you want, not your whole note. - Type @remind in a task and NotePlan creates a matching reminder in Apple Reminders - Add a time, a list, or both right in the tag — @remind(2pm), @remind(2pm, Errands) — all from the keyboard, no dialog needed - Two-way sync: completing, renaming, or rescheduling on either side updates the other - Task priorities sync too — "!! task" becomes a high-priority reminder - Tap the reminder pill to edit it - Removing the reminder in NotePlan (or deleting the note) deletes it in Apple Reminders too - Drag a reminder from the timeline or a filter into a note to link it as a task - Limitations: reminders aren't available in shared spaces, can't be duplicated, and can't be used in synced lines (yet) ■ SPACES - Backups with restore — long-press a space (or the "Spaces" heading) in the sidebar to create and restore backups; backups are also created automatically daily - Date links and date navigation now stay in the current note's space — shared-space date links no longer jump to your private daily note ■ KANBAN BOARDS & FOLDER VIEWS - Group calendar notes by time frame (day/week/month/quarter/year) and drag tasks between columns to reschedule them — tap the "Calendar Notes" title in the sidebar to open it - Dragging a scheduled task between days updates its date link instead of moving it out of its note - Dragging a task onto a calendar day or week number now opens a compact drop menu, like on Mac — link the task, or move it to the top, a heading, or the bottom ■ FILTERS - New {{currentNote}} placeholder for "path contains" — build a filter that always shows tasks from whatever note you have open - The "Other" line-type toggle is now granular, matching Mac: choose exactly which non-task lines appear (headings, bullets, quotes, plain text, checklists), plus display options. Tip: select only headings for a table of contents of your note - New per-filter option to hide the "Add Task" button ■ FRONTMATTER - Links in property fields are now clickable — URLs, wiki links, and markdown links, even when the frontmatter is collapsed ■ PLUGIN API - Reminders can be created, read, and updated without a due date, and a new .priority field matches Apple Reminders - description in plugin.json is now optional — commands without it were silently dropped, breaking triggers like onOpen - onOpen triggers now fire for calendar notes, and more Apple URL schemes are whitelisted (Reminders, Calendar, Messages, Shortcuts, Notes, Maps) ■ FIXES & IMPROVEMENTS - The share sheet lets you edit the title when creating a new note, and the keyboard no longer covers the form - Custom transcription hosts (Groq, local Whisper) work again, and failures show a real error instead of failing silently - Fixed auto-inserted templates landing on the previous day's note after a timezone change - Fixed [[note|alias]] including the alias in the filename when creating the note - Fixed several freezes and hangs — heavily folded notes with time blocks, opening notes, adding a note in a folder view, and a permanent freeze from stale time-block ranges Enjoying NotePlan?

The One

If you’ve been endlessly browsing to-do list apps and migrating to a new one every few months, your journey may finally be over.

NotePlan’s combination of notes, tasks, reminders, calendars, and personal knowledge management is the winning formula for me. I’ve tried all the usual suspects, including Todoist and Things, and migrated more times than I care to admit.

NotePlan lets you build an intricate productivity system or simply jot down a scrappy list that stays out of your way. Best of all, it can be both at the same time.

It’s a great system.

Overwhelming

Honestly looks like a great app for a certain type of person, even though it’s apparently not for me. I took one look at everything that was in front of me and was immediately overwhelmed. I unfortunately didn’t have the time to learn a system that seems so complex.

Noteplan is Awesome

Edward is a great App founder/developer. There are continuous improvements to this app and it has grown to be a well rounded, more complete note and task app in its current version. There is also a dedicated user base creating and improving plug-ins as well. Recent releases of somewhat similar vibe-coded apps are not nearly as complete or well thought out as Noteplan. I use Noteplan everyday to organize both personal and work notes and tasks.

Vielfältig - in jeder Hinsicht

Ich arbeite jetzt seit ca 2 Jahren - so lange habe ich es noch mit keiner Selbstorganisation-App ausgehalten. Bis heute habe ich nicht alle Möglichkeiten ausgeschöpft - zumal ja auch immer neue dazu kommen. Davon nutze ich dann vielleicht jeweils 1/4. Im neuen Update ist die synchronisierung mit Erinnerungen so ein Fall: das das ist für mich sehr hilfreich und ich werde es nutzen. Die Kanban-Board-Ansicht interessiert mich viel weniger. Memo AI war dagegen auch ein großer Schritt nach vorn und das MCP für KI ebenfalls. Dafür bin ich dann auch bereit mich gelegentlich einzuarbeiten, obwohl ich eigentlich selbsterklärende Funktionen bevorzuge. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn ich von Noteplan noch mehr Unterstützung im Projektmanagement ( für Soloselbständige, evt mit externen Assisten*innen)bekäme… ich bin gespannt und zuversichtlich, wie und dass es weitergeht!

Response from developer

Danke für dein Review FilouFreund08! Freut uns, dass dir NotePlan gefällt. Erzähle uns gerne mehr zum Projektmanagement. Kanban sollte dort eigentlich helfen, aber du schreibst es ist nichts für dich? Wenn du nach Teamfunktionen suchst, in den Einstellungen kannst du dich unter den “Spaces” anmelden und ein Space für die Arbeit mit Assisten*innen nutzen. Aber schreibe uns gerne mehr dazu: hello[at]noteplan.co, es ist ein spannendes Thema.

Offline equals no note access

If you don’t check-in with the server at least once every few days, you can’t use this app. I found this out when traveling and didn’t have internet access. I emailed Eduard (NotePlan) and he said something to the effect of “maybe we’ll test longer offline in the future” . So, you paid the subscription but if you don’t allow access to the noteplan server (even if you are not syncing noteplan) at least once every 3 days, you can’t use this product until you’re back online. This “Only Renting” movement has to stop. In this case, you paid your rent but still can’t get into your apartment because you didn’t say “Hello” to the building manager at least 2 times each week.
