The release is available!
Eduard Metzger: amazing! Already using it! Thanks!
In v3.9.10 beta this is working now 🎉. Releasing soon now, it has been in testing for some time. See: - https://x.com/NotePlanApp/status/1727821667160703051?s=20 - https://x.com/metzgereduard/status/1723431377012473925?s=20
This is the main feature that keeps me on google calendar and switching between google and Noteplan. (1) I rely on google tasks to time block and enjoy being able to turn on/off the “tasks” calendar. However I much prefer Noteplan’s other task related capabilities! With multi-day timeline I’m so close to leaving google calendar and being local only. (2) Right now I also use Dato (a better version of outlook my day) which is a menubar app showing my current/next event with quick access to calendar. If Noteplan tasks belong to their own calendar then this would sync up automatically :)
Yes, this would be amazing. I originally thought it would be automatic as well. I have been reimagining my workflow and trying to make it more visible and frictionless. If I'm working on something, I'd love to hit the shortcut that drops down Fantastical's mini window and see all my time blocks for the day alongside events, without having to switch back to NP to see it all.
I just realized most of the comments here are two years old! Seems like a popular request. Is this feature (like Agenda does, as mentioned below) potentially being considered? Given the focus on time-blocking in the app itself, it seems like a no-brainer to integrate the calendar OUTSIDE of the app.
Really hope for a seamless integration between NotePlan and Reminders because I heavily rely on Apple's Reminder app! I absolutely love the feature of dragging a reminder into the calendar. My idea is to use NotePlan as a note-taking tool for immersive planning of daily, weekly, and monthly tasks, and then have these tasks automatically synced to Reminders for the day using a plugin or designated symbols. After that, I can use my calendar app to drag these reminders into time blocks. ( or use Noteplan if the dragging function get smoother) Why I prefer integrating with Reminders rather than NotePlan: For one, Apple's own app functionality is better developed and smoother with each version update, and also applies to integration with other apps, making Reminder a perfect intermediary hub. On the other hand, Reminder allows me to see the completion time of each task, which gives me a clear overview of what I actually accomplished each day when I review it with the calendar app.(or Noteplan) I hope this makes sense! I'm really excited about this integration and I think it would greatly enhance my productivity. Looking forward to your thoughts on this.
Adding a "me too" here, though I use todoist but could easily move my todos to my calendar ( Fastmail ) or the Apple reminders if this couldn't integrate with Todoist. Going to subscribe to the email list and check this issue often, if I can actually sync my todos then I would love to pay for this, but for now I'll stick with Fantastical + the Notes app which isnt the same :/
The most important feature for me is syncing (Apple) Reminders and (NotePlan) Tasks. 1. an Apple Reminder should show up in the Daily note 2. a Noteplan Task with a date (and time) in a non-Daily note should automatically be a Reminder on that day (and time) 3. a Noteplan Task task in a Daily note (without a date or time) should automatically be a Reminder for the date of the Daily Note. If that Task has a time it should be a Reminder on that time 5. If the Reminder is moved (Done, Deleted) it should be reflected on the (Daily) note Without this I will never know, where to look for a Todo (either a Noteplan Task or an Apple Reminder). I would have to completely switch over to using NotePlan. But then I would need to be able to create NotePlan Tasks especially from within AirMail or Apple Mail on macOS and – more important – iOS/iPadOS For me it would just be "nice to have" if time blocks created in NotePlan would synchronise with Calendar Events
Actually, right now, I create a new event per each task I want to do. It's time consuming. For me, the best experience would be to have a "default" calendar where NotePlan creates events for each task with a time block. Also, as a UX designer, I would love if we can just drag and drop a task from the note to the calendar and automatically creates an event of 30 minutes (the original task will remain in the note of course).
As a first time user I was instinctively trying to drag a task over to the calendar. I know you can use the syntax but it is slower than a drag and drop. I do this from things 3 into Calendar. Also being able to drag events around as, somedays you need to shift things around. Timeblocked events also do not show up in my calendar app, should they?
I prefer what Luiz Filho seems to be going for. There should be a calendar in iCloud called "Noteplan" that is managed solely by Noteplan. I'd like to be able subscribe/unscribe this calendar in Calendar.app like Birthdays, Doodle or Facebook.
Rhubarb: in my case, a separate calendar wouldn’t suffice as my coworkers don’t track that, only the default work calendar. So, in the very least, we should be able to configure which calendar we want the events persisted to. Win-win :-)
YES! Came here for this! Actually I thought Noteplan supported this when I saw the demos and that's what made me buy it. Since it's "calendar driven" note taking, I want the time blocks to actually be persisted in my calendar so other colleagues will see that I'm not available at that time. Otherwise we would effectively have 2 calendars (the official one (Apple's, Google's, whatever) + the reminders / blocks / events created within Noteplan, which totally defeats the purpose. I would actually prefer that instead of "right-click to send it to calendar", to have that as the default behavior, or at least a configuration option to enable this behavior by default. In other words, I want to be able to do: 1. Type "do whatever at 3-4p" in a note 2. open my browser with my google/apple calendar and see "do whatever" scheduled for 3-4pm Other considerations: 1. If I move that task in Noteplan to another date, it gets moved in the actual calendar accordingly 2. If I move the task on my google calendar, it gets moved in Noteplan too (I'm imaging something like Noteplan scanning the events in that calendar and recognizing the ones created by it) I've created a bunch of feature requests today, but this is by far my most desired one! :) Thanks!
Luiz Filho : Agreed. Like what Agenda is doing, scheduled events/tasks can be sync to Calendar and Reminder
This is cool but is there any way to not force all blocks to one calendar? I’d rather be able to individually assign if I want to. Time blocks exist, for instance, in my Work calendar and my Personal calendar.
