## Key features

- **Daily, weekly, monthly and yearly notes:** Every day gets its own note for tasks and meeting notes, and each week, month and year has one too, for targets, reviews and goals.
- **Apple Calendar and Reminders:** Calendar events and reminders appear beside the daily note. Checking off a reminder in NotePlan also checks it off in Apple Reminders.
- **Time blocking:** Drag a task onto the timeline to turn it into a time block next to your meetings, so you can see what fits in the day.
- **Project notes and kanban:** Project notes hold briefs, decisions and next steps, link to daily work in both directions, and can be grouped into columns as a kanban board.
- **Plain Markdown files:** Notes are plain Markdown files on your device that work offline and can be taken out as one folder. Sync uses your own iCloud account.
- **Spaces:** Shared workspaces for teams or families with shared daily and weekly notes, folders and kanban boards, usable in the apps or in a browser.

## Good for

- Apple users who plan their day in notes next to calendar and reminders
- People who time-block tasks around their meetings
- Markdown fans who want plain-text files they control

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan: once a trial or subscription ends, notes become read-only.
- Native apps exist only for Mac, iPhone and iPad; Windows and other systems use the web version.
- Sync runs mainly through Apple's CloudKit and is tied to an Apple ID, which the web version also signs in with.
- The monthly plan's free trial lasts 3 days, compared with 7 days on the annual plan.
