## Details

## Overview

NotePlan is a calendar-driven note-taking and task management app that combines markdown notes with powerful time blocking capabilities.

## Time Blocking Features

NotePlan supports time blocking by creating visual blocks of time in your timeline, which displays events, reminders, and time-blocked tasks.

### Creating Time Blocks

You can instantly create time blocks by typing a timecode like: 9-11 am or 15:00-16:00 directly in your markdown notes. NotePlan automatically places the task on your calendar timeline.

The easiest way to add a time block is to drag a checklist, task, or bullet into the timeline (on Mac in the right sidebar, on iOS at the bottom by tapping the calendar + clock icon).

### Calendar Integration

The latest update lets you promote time blocks created in NotePlan to full calendar events in a calendar of your choice, allowing you to send your timeline into other calendar and scheduling apps like Google Calendar or Outlook to mark yourself as unavailable.

## Key Features

- Multi-day view showing up to 7 days on your timeline with all events, reminders, and tasks
- Markdown format with plain text file storage for data portability
- Natural language time block creation
- Notifications when time blocks start
- Task, event, and reminder integration
- Templates for daily time blocking

## Data Format

Your notes are based on Markdown and saved in plain text files, meaning your data is easily accessible at all times and highly portable.

## Platform Availability

Available on macOS, iOS, and iPadOS.
