This update makes advanced search even more advanced with operators for filters • Advanced Search: You can now use OR, grouping, and filters directly in your searches. For example: – "meeting -(work meetup)" → finds “meeting” but excludes lines with both “work” and “meetup” – "seneca OR marcus -aurelius" → finds “Seneca” or “Marcus”, but not “Marcus Aurelius” – "source:calendar is:open date:this-month" → lists all open calendar tasks this month Search also runs faster, both in the main search view and folder view. Find more info in our help docs, search for "Advanced Search" • Named Folder Views: Access your saved folder views directly from the Command Bar or via x-callback-URLs. It’s now much quicker to jump back to your favorite filters. Other Improvements: • Better caching and overall performance. • Filters are now excluded from wiki link autocompletion. • Search text in filter views resets correctly when switching. • Kanban view: hide insert column option when grouped by standard fields • Kanban view: dragging cards no longer forces sorting to change to default "order" (disable it in the sort drop down). • Fixed issues with filters containing “.” in the name. • Added an option to copy the x-callback-URL of a saved folder view. • Fixed adding notes to filtered folder view columns creating unwanted properties. • Fixed template list sometimes appearing empty when inserting a template. • Fixed app closing after shutting the last window. • Added icons to the sidebar headers to indicate they can be tapped. • Developer: – New APIs (Editor.* and Note.updateFrontmatterAttributes). – Fixed Editor.selectedParagraphs not containing header information – Advanced search operators are also available through DataStore.search

Critical Bug Fix! Major Release: This update extends the Kanban views to support tasks and we are introducing Teamspaces as Lab feature. In the last few updates, we’ve added new ways to view and organize your notes, like Kanban boards and note properties. Now, we’re building on that by adding a new level: Tasks. Instead of seeing a list or Kanban board of notes, you can go a level deeper and see the tasks inside the notes. Group, filter and sort them by state, note, heading, tag or attributes inside your tags. NEW FEATURES: 1. Tasks Kanban • View all tasks from a folder (and its subfolders) as Kanban cards, grouped by status or other properties • Drag and drop tasks between columns to change their status or attributes • Filter tasks by tags, dates, or custom properties (through attributed tags) in the Kanban view • Group tasks by tags or properties inside the tags (similar to note properties / frontmatter) • Open the Kanban view from any folder by choosing "Level: Tasks" and "Style: Cards" in menu at the top What are attributed tags? Across different notes, you can add tags like "#todo" to a task and display them in the Kanban board. Add attributes using "#todo(state: backlog)" for example (key: value pairs in parentheses). The folder views let you filter, group and sort by these attributes in tags. You can also change the icon, and icon color of tasks using attributed tags (example: "#todo(icon: hammer, icon-color: green-600)"). 2. Teamspaces (Lab Feature) • Create shared workspaces for team members to work on regular notes, daily and weekly notes, and tasks • Invite team members by email to join a Teamspace with real-time updates • Assign tasks, share notes, and track progress in a Teamspace • Available as a Settings > Lab feature, and we’d love your feedback to improve it To get started, go to Settings > Lab and sign in using any email address. Then create teamspaces and invite other NotePlan users. Teamspace notes are separated from private notes. IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES API and Plugins • Extended the API to work with teamspace notes Note Properties • AI can now add properties to your notes. Expand the properties panel at the top and hit the AI button on the right side. It will add colors and an icon to your note. If you have notes in the same folder that already have properties, it will read those and look for patterns to apply. • Added new properties to individualize your notes. You can now use `bg-pattern` with following values: lines, dotted, squared or mini-squared to give your notes a background pattern. This pattern (along with the background color) will be also used for the drawing canvas. Search • Improved search performance by ignoring non-note files, if you added any during an import (such as CSVs, SVGs, etc.). Crashes and Memory Leaks • Fixed various crashes and issues with increasing memory usage. Other • Improved copy and paste from websites or chatGPT. It added way too many linebreaks and couldn't handle lists and indentation correctly, now it can! • Improved conflict resolution between two notes. If you are happy with the app, please rate it, or even leave a review. This is a great way to support us, indie developers. Thanks a lot!

This is a quick update to clean up a few bugs after the last major release. FIXES - Fixed issues in the Kanban and Notes List with case-sensitive keys (i.e. keys written sometimes with lowercase and other times with uppercase) - Fixed issues with invalid frontmatter (if you added a line separator at the top of your note and didn't follow it with key: value pairs) - Fixed possible attachment deletion issue when moving a folder with the same name as a note that has attachments - Fixed crashes because the frontmatter fields didn't resign the focus properly - Fixed bug in RTF export where numbered lists had an extra space - Fixed find bar position (CMD+F to search the note for text) - Fixed issues with case-sensitive note titles in the properties. - Fixed plugin download issues (the download was triggered twice by the plugin) And other minor fixes, see the full list on our noteplan.co/changelog page. LAST MAJOR RELEASE This update is all about Note Properties (aka Frontmatter). In the last two updates we have added new ways to display your notes (as list or Kanban style cards) which heavily rely on editing the frontmatter (note properties). For example to define groups for your notes so you can build a nice Kanban board. So it was just time to make editing the note properties easier. As a bonus we have added a few default properties, like a note icon, and the note background color. Note properties will be a central part for building more "database"-like features in the next few months. NEW FEATURES: 1. Note Properties (Frontmatter) Editor • Show/Hide the Frontmatter at the top of your notes • Add, edit, delete properties through a user interface instead of the raw text • Copy, paste and add properties from other notes (using the menu top right ) • Choose existing properties from a drop down (it picks up suggestions by scanning other notes) • Select a note icon, the icon color, and icon style from a drop down • Select note background color from a color palette 2. Note Icons • Support added for note icons in the sidebar and notes list • You can select the icon from a list in the frontmatter editor 3. Title bar with full path • Find the full path + title of your note at the top in the navigation bar. We made it horizontally scrollable, so things won't be truncated and always readable. IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES 1. API and Templates • Extended NotePlan.ai function in templates (and plugin code) to support folders and a range of calendar notes ('last 7 days', or '... weeks', '... months' etc.) and a model parameter. See help docs for more ("AI Prompts in Templates") • Fixed saving html into clipboard (using Clipboard.setStringForType(your html data, "public.html") 2. Images and File Attachments • Fixed images shifting down when indenting on macOS • Fixed issue where attachments were not synced due to broken attachment markdown • Fixed attachments being deleted when editing notes through filters or search • Fixed image sync deadlock if you have added images on two devices 3. Other Fixes • Fix clicking on new note links created the note in root if the folder contained ampersand • Hex colors codes are now validated in the frontmatter • Fixed the sidebar sorting so numbers in folder names and notes are sorted correctly • Fixed issues when scheduling folded tasks or tasks with synced lines. 4. Other Improvements • Ignore tags that are surrounded by double quotes like "#tag", especially useful for hex codes in frontmatter • Sync notes list settings again between devices • Remove archived notes and templates from the notes list when opening the "Notes" header in the sidebar to see all notes • Added search settings to the regular search to be able exclude events and reminders, to filter out recurring events that spam the results.

This update is all about Note Properties (aka Frontmatter). In the last two updates we have added new ways to display your notes (as list or Kanban style cards) which heavily rely on editing the frontmatter (note properties). For example to define groups for your notes so you can build a nice Kanban board. So it was just time to make editing the note properties easier. As a bonus we have added a few default properties, like a note icon, and the note background color. Note properties will be a central part for building more "database"-like features in the next few months. NEW FEATURES: 1. Note Properties (Frontmatter) Editor • Show/Hide the Frontmatter at the top of your notes • Add, edit, delete properties through a user interface instead of the raw text • Copy, paste and add properties from other notes (using the menu button top right of the properties view or the button left of a property) • Choose existing properties from a drop down, so you don't need to guess anymore (it picks up suggestions by scanning other notes) • Select a note icon, the icon color, and icon style from a drop down • Select note background color from a color palette 2. Note Icons • Support added for note icons in the sidebar and notes list • You can select the icon from a list in the frontmatter editor 3. Title bar with full path • Find the full path + title of your note at the top in the navigation bar. We made it horizontally scrollable, so things won't be truncated and always readable. IMPROVEMENTS AND BUG FIXES 1. API and Templates • Extended NotePlan.ai function in templates (and plugin code) to support folders and a range of calendar notes ('last 7 days', or '... weeks', '... months' etc.) and a model parameter. See help docs for more ("AI Prompts in Templates") • Fixed saving html into clipboard (using Clipboard.setStringForType(your html data, "public.html") 2. Images and File Attachments • Fixed images shifting down when indenting on macOS • Fixed issue where attachments were not synced due to broken attachment markdown (from imports for example). • Fixed attachments being deleted when editing notes through filters or search • Fixed image sync deadlock if you have added images on two devices by uploading placeholder images. 3. Other Fixes • Fix clicking on new note links created the note in root if the folder contained ampersand • Hex colors codes are now validated in the frontmatter (so you don't set the background to an unreadable black accidentally). • Fixed the sidebar sorting so numbers in folder names and notes are sorted correctly (like "20.10 - Areas" is below, i.e. greater than "20.1 - Areas") • Fixed issues when scheduling folded tasks or tasks with synced lines. 4. Other Improvements • Ignore tags that are surrounded by double quotes like "#tag", especially useful for hex codes in frontmatter • Sync notes list settings again between devices • Remove archived notes and templates from the notes list when opening the "Notes" header in the sidebar to see all notes • Made the slash menu appear faster • Added search settings to the regular search to be able exclude events and reminders, to filter out recurring events that spam the results.

The latest NotePlan update brings you the all-new Card View (Kanban!). These features are designed to help you visualize projects and notes, making planning and productivity smoother than ever. Here’s what’s new: KANBAN-STYLE CARD VIEW — Organize your notes visually The new Card View allows you to: - Turn your notes into cards, group them into columns and drag them across the columns to organize your projects. - Use Frontmatter to group notes into columns. What is Frontmatter? Frontmatter is metadata added at the top of your notes, enclosed within triple dashes (---). This metadata can include fields like tags, dates, or status values. For example, you can add "status: To Do" to a note to group it in the "To Do" column. Example: --- status: To Do --- # Note Title Benefits: - Project Management: Create columns to represent stages of progress (e.g., "To Do," "In Progress," "Done"). - Task Prioritization: Visually sort and rearrange notes based on urgency or importance. - Personal Use Example: Track your book reading with a Kanban board. Create columns like "Want to Read," "Currently Reading," "Finished," and "Rated." Add notes for each book and update their status as you progress through your reading list. To get started: 1. Click on a folder to open the Notes Table. 2. Switch the "Style" to "Cards." 3. Add Frontmatter with grouping values to your relevant notes (e.g., status: To Do). 4. Use the "Group By" option to select the field from the Frontmatter that you want to group your notes by. This will create the columns. 5. Drag notes between columns as you make progress. Perfect to visualize your notes and to use Kanban to enhance your project management. IMPROVED & FIXED - Improved Obsidian import for a smoother experience. - Fixed a crash when clicking on weekly or monthly notes. - Improved detection of frontmatter when empty lines appear before it. - Prevent a crash when closing HTML plugin windows. - Fixed copying links to synced lines. - Updated the design of timeblock notifications to be slimmer. - Fixed Web Views not deinitializing when closed. - References that are collapsed in the original note now display correctly, without unwanted ellipses. - Fixed saving tables with short headings that resulted in invalid Markdown. If you’re enjoying these updates, please consider leaving a rating or review! Your feedback directly shapes new features and improvements, helping us make NotePlan even better for you.

This is another smaller release to fix a few issues we have discovered and to make performance improvements. NEW - Added open task/checklist count badge to folded lists. - Added Notes table when clicking on a folder in the sidebar. This table reads the frontmatter in your notes and allows you to group, filter, and sort by the properties you define in the frontmatter. - Added an option to pin the window to the top (see top right note menu), allowing you to open say a separate window and take notes while working on something that's in the background without having to switch between windows. FIXED - Couldn't use bold, italic, etc. formatting on folded items. - Fixed plugin issues with defining the right note type (it had to be capitalized, like "Calendar" and not "calendar") - Fixed the start date of repeating tasks, when the task has a schedule date (this date will be used as the start now) - Fixed creating synced lines of folded lines. - Fixed high cpu usage while using the plugin console for a long period. - Fixed crashes with stale Reminders. - Optimization fixes when loading events and reminders in the background.

Following up with the main release, we did some polishing on the folded tasks, bug fixing, performance improvements, and sync maintenance. NEW - Added an API call to OpenAI: `NotePlan.ai(prompt, [file1, file2])`, which becomes very useful in templates. It can read the content of the specified files and work on them using the prompt to return say a random bullet point or the next open task from a note. IMPROVED - Updated the design of the unfold button ("...") behind folded lines. - Folding button positioning fixed, so it appears also close left of indented tasks. FIXED - Folding issue was fixed when headings and task folding were mixed. - Performance issues fixed with loading and updating events and reminders in the background that led to high memory and CPU usage due to deadlocks. - Plugin download issues fixed. SYNC - Fixed issues with encryption. - Fixed issues when reuploading notes on one device without re-downloading them from scratch on other devices. Main Release: FOLDING TASKS AND BULLETS With this release, folding comes to tasks and bullets—no longer limited to headings! Now you can keep your notes cleaner and more organized by folding any task or bullet point with indented content below it, including images, code blocks, or text. HOW IT WORKS 1. To start, add a task or bullet point and press enter to create a new line. 2. Press tab to indent any sub-tasks, bullets, or notes beneath it. 3. You’ll now see a folding icon appear when you hover over the task or bullet, allowing you to fold or unfold content below it. 4. For quick folding, use CMD + / to toggle folding on and off. USE CASES - Simplify your task lists by grouping sub-tasks or related notes under a main task. - Hide long notes or details within project tasks, revealing them only when you need them. - Organize research notes, tracking your progress without clutter. - Hide code blocks by indenting each line in the block, including the triple backticks at the start or end. Any text with indented lines can be folded, whether it’s tasks, sub-tasks, simple notes, or mixed content (can be plain text). OTHER IMPROVEMENTS - Improved slow searching when you had attachments like PDFs in the regular folders. - Fixed loading images in PDFs and RTF exports. - Added x-callback-url to install plugin (/installPlugin?pluginID=) - Drawings auto-save now while you work on them. - Added support to copy images from Apple Notes. - Fixed regular notes not supporting ‘under heading’ in filters. - Fixed syncing issues.

With auto templates, you can set a standard set of tasks, notes, and checklists for specific note types. Once configured, these templates are automatically loaded when you open the corresponding note—no need for extra clicks or taps! Customize it further: insert a different task list for weekdays and weekends, for example. Let’s break it down: AUTO TEMPLATES There are two ways to set up auto templates. 1. Open an existing template or create a new one under "Templates" in "Smart Folders." 2. In the template, click on the calendar icon in the top right to set your auto-insert options (note: the icon only turns blue if an active rule is in place). 3. You can configure templates to be inserted based on specific frequencies, such as daily, or on certain days of the year—like January 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Alternatively, you can also set up auto templates directly while working in calendar notes. SETUP AUTO TEMPLATES FROM CALENDAR NOTES First, ensure “Show help text (and template button)” is on in Settings → Markdown. 1. Open an empty calendar note (daily, weekly, monthly, etc.). 2. Click on “Insert Template”, then hover over "Auto-Insert" and choose a template. To remove the template click again on it in the menu (it toggles it on/off). Or go into the template and open the recurrence settings by tapping on the calendar button top right. OTHER IMPROVEMENTS - Paste plain text with Cmd+Shift+V - “Move” renamed to “Schedule” - Fixed repeat crash (minimum now set to 2) - Improved formatting when pasting - New filter option: 'past including today' - Fixed link alias issues - Improved cursor positioning after auto-inserted brackets, you can hit enter to jump behind the closing bracket. - Added shortcuts for opening notes in new window or split view - Fixed link-tapping crash on iPad - Resolved layout issues with empty event titles - Fixed importing of weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly notes from Obsidian - Improved importing of file attachments from Obsidian - Changed 'Preferences' to 'Settings' - Fixed dragged in events created timeblocks and renamed the event in the note - Fixed dragged in tasks with sub-tasks for creating synced lines from the references didn't make the subtasks synced lines
