If you open a note in finder from NotePlan you’ll see it goes to the container folder, not directly to the Dropbox. It seems like NotePlan speaks to the API which then sends the file to your Dropbox folder.
#Noteplan 3 review update#
Daily notes sync’d pretty well, I didn’t see major issues and sync was relatively quick (5-10 seconds typically from making an update on one device to seeing it another.
#Noteplan 3 review install#
I did a fresh install of NotePlan across a couple of devices (iOS and Mac) and set it up with a clean version of Dropbox sync. Thanks again!Īs it’s Friday I spent a bit of time playing with NotePlan again to see how the latest betas are performing. Still, as both apps continue to develop, I think we’ll see more divergence than convergence here. You’re right in that the overlap of both apps may mean that just one might be enough for most people. Plus, customizability (especially with plugins) is a major boon-I love using the “ focus mode” and “ Andy’s mode” tweaks to get different emphases on what I’m working on, for instance. The graph, transclusion, search, and window management features all make Obsidian a bit more powerful, for me. But the main ones are above!Įdit: missed that the question went both ways… As for why not to use just NotePlan, I find Obsidian’s “IDE for thought” approach to be more productive than NotePlan. NotePlan also provides a few other benefits unavailable in Obsidian: you can open notes in their own windows on macOS you can use to tag people and it’ll pull them together, there’s a CloudKit-based collaboration option (e.g., share a note with another NotePlan user and you can both edit it simultaneously). (E.g., I can review and interact with every “overdue” task from my previous daily notes in one view.)
If you’re not managing projects/tasks within your notes, this won’t matter, but NotePlan provides an intuitive rollup of tasks that is very handy. NotePlan gives us a powerful way to access and add to our notes when away from the desk.
I meant this post mostly as a “how” to use both apps, but perhaps the “why” deserves its own write-up-or at least a bigger call-out.
