What it does
NotePlan combines Markdown-based daily notes and project notes with tasks, Apple Calendar, and Reminders. Its product page describes a daily note where meeting notes and tasks sit beside calendar events, and a project note that can hold a brief, decisions, and next steps. Notes can be used offline and are stored locally, with Apple sync options. The product is sold as a subscription after a trial.
Use a daily note as the project landing page
Start with today's note, list the work that needs attention, and keep meeting notes beside the calendar. For a continuing project, NotePlan's homepage suggests a project note for the brief, decisions, and next steps, linked back to the day's work. The official product page describes Apple Calendar and Reminders integration; the pricing and FAQ page says notes remain available offline and documents local storage plus Apple sync. This combination makes NotePlan useful when planning and note context need to live together, rather than in separate calendar and task apps.
The current pricing page lists an annual subscription at $99 paid yearly ($8.33/month equivalent) and a monthly plan at $12, each with a limited free trial. The app is listed for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and web. This is a hybrid notes/calendar/tasks product; it is classified under Notes because its daily and project notes are the primary work surface. No app, calendar integration, offline behavior, or sync was tested.
