What can NotePlan do?

It's a writing tool with calendar and notes. You write a note for every day using bullet points for todos or events. Those points will fill your calendar. If you want a normal note, use the standalone notes area, where you can just jot down things for later. Format your text using Markdown. You can schedule todos to specific dates and add them to the Reminders app. Events from external calendars are also displayed inside the NotePlan calendar and the daily notes, if you have added them to Apple's Calendar app (you can add your Google Calendar there for example or anything with a subscription).

Let me know what you think of it! If you subscribe on the website, a trial link is sent into your inbox.

This looks pretty cool! I don't see any mention of org-mode, which seems like an inspiration. How would you compare the two?

Hey, thats the second time I read "org-mode"! I have never seen org-mode before, but it looks like Markdown on steroids. NotePlan's syntax is not so extensive like org-mode, kept rather simple, but I will extend it over time, depending on usability. Thanks for mentioning it!

One feature of org-mode that might be worth considering is that it is cross platform. Because NotePlan is tied to OSX, I can't try it out, let alone use it.

Org-mode has been around for more than a decade and is open source and on a platform Emacs that has a high hacker to non-hacker ratio.

Not that I'm recommending building up an application in C. But Electron might be an option for an org-mode like cross platform application.

Good luck.
