Tried #NotePlan last year, but squandered the free trial without doing anything. How do I reset it so that I can have a few days before making a subscription decision?

Thank you
Rethinking the Todo List, the first post on my shiny new personal blog is now live!
I love a good task manager, but it’s time to say goodbye to obsessing over checking boxes in favor of doing more meaningful work. Shoutout to #noteplan for making this possible.

Been scratching an itch with #NotePlan themes. Excited to share what I’ve built with my weekend (ok, 2-hour) project.
Considering separating note-taking and note-making by including #Noteplan alongside #Obsidian in my workflow.
I know, adding yet another app is never the answer. But I currently have so many hacks around Obsidian on iPhone and iPad, that a native solution for the daily stream of snippets might simplify.
I still see Obsidian being the place where stuff comes together into a coherent output.
As I use #noteplan, I'm discovering hidden features (hidden at least for me). Hidden but useful features.
Today found out that, Noteplan app has a collapsible weekly notes on top of daily notes.
Similarly a week page has a collapsible monthly notes.
This acts as a kind of sticky notes reminding you of what you wanted to achieve in a particular period - month → week → day.
Useful to drive your behavior.
One tip for #noteplan wrt reviewing a week.
It has 7-day view. I thought it is only the upcoming 7-day view. I have used this view to plan the upcoming weeks.
If you are sitting down on a Sunday to review the week gone by, how to do it?
Select the previous Sunday in Today's view and then click 7-day view. Now the app will show notes from 7-days starting previous Sunday.
There you go.
@CodeMacLife I am sure you've heard of #setapp
Any reason you are not trying it?
I got the subscription this week to subscribe to #noteplan . So far, I am happy with it.
@ellane @bazbt3 @drafts I know this is an old post.
Recently I moved from Drafts & Obsidian combo to #noteplan .
Since you are in Apple ecosystem, you might also like #setapp . You can find noteplan within setapp.
Noteplan starts fast, interoperable with Obsidian, works with iCloud ...

One thing I don't like about #noteplan is that it doesn't have a dedicated folder for attachments like assets like what Obsidian has.
This leads to attachments all over the folders.
Plus app automatically converts images into .png format.
Ok for now though
here is an earlier post on it: https://cpn.jjude.com/@jjude/statuses/01J3FVZ0JECC055X2APRVEN5SK
Checking out #NotePlan . What I like?
• file over app concept; local files in markdown format ⇒ files are under my control even thought app might go out of biz
• It it interoperable with @obsidian . I can use both together, if I want. How nice!
• It even supports the same format for linking to a heading in a note like #obsidian - [[note#heading]]
• Syncs via iCloud. I have to pay a commercial license & for sync in Obsidian. If I use #setapp (https://setapp.com/) it becomes even more cheaper since I can use lot of other apps for the same price
• Availability of bi-directional links
• In addition to all these, I like their integration of tasks and calendar into note taking - both of mobile and mac
Testing it out for a while. So far, I use a note-taking app for a day and then switch to obsidian because Obsidian is beautifully designed. Let me see how long I use NotePlan 😀
Got to know NotePlan from the list shared by @kvistgaard here: https://www.strategicstructures.com/?p=2591
@neonpurrs I use #logseq at work, #obsidian at home. At work I like the outliner style and searchability with Logseq- I also don't need (or want) to sync my data to my mobile. At home I prefer Obsidian which is a little more free-form and the sync to my iPhone is barely noticeable. Logseq sync works but sometimes need a manual refresh or reindex. If you're in Apple ecosystem have a look at #NotePlan, which beats Obsidian as a planner IMHO.
After using #Obsidian for a while, I’m rediscovering the simplicity and tight Apple ecosystem integration of #NotePlan.
If you’re looking for a flexible tool that can handle basic task management, calendar/time block scheduling, project management, and general note taking, NotePlan deserves a hard look. Totally worth it!
#SwiftKey is really great - way better than #Apple's stock keyboard on #iOS (in Norwegian). But it has this infuriating bug that messes up some markdown editors and makes them _much_ worse, like @drafts and #Noteplan.
Drives me insane (and it's ofc. literally impossible to get in contact with SwiftKey support. Thanks "Microsoft.
A great feature in Noteplan is that the filename of the note gets the filename that is equal to the title of the note
What is not so great, as a note evolves and changes and maybe your title gets changed, the filename does not. Which can be a hassle if you do a files search on your disk to find a particular file. I recently learned that you can work together with Obsidian. But for this to work correctly, the files need to have nice describing names.
I don’t use Obsidian, but I like to have my filenames aligned with the notes’ title. Therefore, I wrote the bash script below.
You can set your directories to be scanned, so that the files within them get renamed if needed.
#!/bin/bash# Directories to processdirectories=( "/Users/<user>/Library/Containers/co.noteplan.NotePlan-setapp/Data/Library/Application Support/co.noteplan.NotePlan-setapp/Notes/personal" "/Users/<user>/Library/Containers/co.noteplan.NotePlan-setapp/Data/Library/Application Support/co.noteplan.NotePlan-setapp/Notes/work")# Loop through directories and *.txt filesfor root_dir in "${directories[@]}"; do echo echo echo "Processing directory: $root_dir" # Find and process *.txt files find "$root_dir" -name "*.txt" -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d '' file; do title=$(head -n 1 "$file" | tr -cd '[:alnum:][:space:]._-' | xargs) path=$(dirname "$file") new_filename="${path}/${title}.txt" if [[ "$file" != "$new_filename" ]]; then mv "$file" "$new_filename" echo "File renamed to: $new_filename" else echo "File already has correct title: $new_filename" fi donedoneI have Noteplan via Setapp, so I included the Setapp paths to be used. Set <user> to your username and mutate the path, so it resembled your folder structure in Noteplan.
