Amazing for ADHD. Been using it for 2 years.

IT's ultra flexible but also structured enough, and maintenance of todos is minimal. Honestly this is the best task management app I've used so far.

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.

Almost perfect!

Overall, excellent app. I’ve tried nearly all of the markdown-based task/note apps and softwares. I think this is very nearly one of the best. It strikes an excellent balance between personal knowledge management (notes) and task management. Some features that I would love to see that others have… Obsidian’s graph view and canvas are unbeatable and Noteplan would benefit (at least visually) from a graph view (who doesn’t love seeing the volume of their work displayed like that?). Craft’s ability to nest/embed cards and pages within a page would be a great addition both visually and for decluttering the sidebar. Notion’s collections/databases for tables would be great both for organizing libraries of notes or projects.

Noteplan absolutely nails the calendar note integration. It also integrates nicely with native Apple apps like Calendar and Reminders. Adding some of these other features would make it the app to rule them all.

4-stars because… while its great, without these other features the subscription price is just too high.

Beste GTD App die ich kenne

Für mich ist NotePlan bislang die überzeugendste App, um Getting Things Done digital umzusetzen. Besonders hilfreich finde ich, dass Aufgaben direkt im jeweiligen Projekt bleiben und trotzdem zuverlässig als nächste Schritte auffindbar sind. Markdown sorgt für eine schnelle und übersichtliche Bearbeitung. Sehr wichtig ist mir außerdem, dass meine Notizen als lokale Dateien gespeichert werden können. Dadurch bleiben die Daten zugänglich und lassen sich bei Bedarf auch in andere Programme übernehmen. Nach meiner bisherigen Nutzung verbindet NotePlan Aufgaben, Kalender und Projektmaterial besser als die Lösungen, die ich zuvor ausprobiert habe.

Very exciting combo

So nice to find something so easy to use yet powerful. Thank you

WOWZA.

YES! FINALLYYY! Sheesh!!! It’s been YEARS now i’ve been searching for the perfect notes app. I use this all day long to capture anything I wanna remember. Makes organizing my random info/ideas super easy. It’s my new home base and life cheatsheet. Very excited I found this app.

Unable to cancel trial

The app looked like it would be useful for some people, but specifically markets itself towards people with ADHD. I can tell you right now to avoid, it is not good for supporting ADHD. It didn’t appear in the subscription settings until after the trial period was over and it wouldn’t let me cancel before then. They are taking advantage of a disability. Unacceptable.

Very difficult to learn don’t have the time to learn all of their coding

I really wish I had the time to learn this although I do not I needed something much more simple and every AI list told me this was the best of all of the functionalities I needed. Although it was not easy to use. I canceled my subscription, but I have yet to get my refund and I really would like a full refund so I’m working on that but it’s very hard to get someone to help you.

Amazing

This app takes a little getting used to and a little work each day. However, the investment pays substantial dividends.

Highly recommended for Markdown users

As an obsidian user, this was the exact app I was looking for my mobile device . If you’re like me who loves to take notes along with tasks, then this is the right app!!

Response from developer

Thank you for writing this kind review!

Just Right

When I just want to wiki some things, it’s great. When I want to kanban a project it’s great. Feature-full and flexible with an active developer. Kinda everything that makes small house software wonderful.

Indispensable

I’ve been using NotePlan for a few years and I can’t imagine using anything else. I tried so many other planning, note taking, and/or organizational methods, but ultimately couldn’t keep up with any of those systems. NotePlan is flexible. You can set it up in any way that makes sense for you and your use case. And you don’t have to go all-in to start — use it for simple scheduling, up to organizing everything. Utilize or add features along the way. Join the Discord group for more. Eduard continues to add and improve features often. Highly recommend.

Loving it

Love the app, just wish it was a bit more affordable really, made the annual subscription a difficult decision.
You need to rethink your approach to task management to really benefit from the app, but patience pays off.
The dashboard plugin is very useful and I wish it could also be set as the landing page when using the app, or be better integrated into the products dna.

Keep up the good work.

My Most Frequently Used app.

NotePlan is my most heavily used app. I keep a lot of information in multiple folders. Accessing and working with the files is just wonderful. I use it in conjunction with Memo AI to record various meetings. This is absolutely a winning combination from Eduard. Very well done!

Cannot live without it!

I have been using NotePlan for a couple of years now (after trying just about everything else on the market) and it has become my one-stop-shop for keeping track of EVERYTHING in my life!!! I use it to manage ALL the client projects I am working on, but also everything in my personal life from lists & daily to-do’s, to goal setting & planning, ideas, dates, logs, recipes, gift ideas, trip plans, my mom’s medical needs, etc. It is completely customizable in so many ways, which is what allows me to quickly & easily adjust HOW I use it as OFTEN I need to, in order to stay on top of things, as they shift & change over the course of a year or even a day! It is literally what helps me stay in control of things day in and day out, so nothing falls through the cracks. Life changes constantly, and so do priorities, and NotePlan helps me manage ALL of it.
