![]() Follow this feature request to stay up to date 4. So if you want to use linking and the graph in Obsidian to view your NotePlan files, you need to keep the note title and the filename the same as of now. That's because NotePlan uses the note titles (first line in the note) as the references, whereas Obsidian uses the filename. NotePlan doesn't (yet) update your filenames if you change the note title. Then open a NotePlan's folder as vault in Obsidian: The Notes folder is for everything else.įirst open NotePlan's folder (in this example we assume you use CloudKit sync, otherwise you need to open the iCloud Drive folder of NotePlan): The Calendar folder is where your Daily Notes will go. Two of these folders are meaningless in Obsidian: one called and another called Filters. ![]() This will create a vault in Obsidian using the same folders NotePlan uses. (The easiest way to do this may simply be to drag a folder from the Finder window we opened in NotePlan a moment ago into the Choose Folder pop-up opened by Obsidian.) In the Finder window that shows up, navigate to the NotePlan Local Database Folder we found above. This happens by default when you first run the app, but if you already have a vault, you can open it by clicking on the little vault icon (on the bottom-left menu bar in the default theme) or by going into the command palette (cmd+p) and searching for “Open another Vault”. Select “Open Local Database Folder.” This will open the location of your NotePlan notes in the Finder. In NotePlan on your Mac, open your sync Advanced options. Read here how you can find out where NotePlan saves your notes. In Obsidian open NotePlan's folder as a vault (navigate to it or drag the folder into the picker). You need to do this on every device once: 2. Internally, NotePlan renames all your notes and reuploads them. Type in "md" and click on Apply.Ĭhange it both, on iOS and Mac. You can do this in NotePlan's preferences under "Files". You first need to change the default file extension. NotePlan saves your notes as ".txt" files by default. Change the default file extension of your notes to ".md" Additionally, learn here how to make daily notes and NotePlan’s trash folder work better together with Obsidian. If you want to go deeper, read this very detailed article on this topic by our friend Ryan. So you can use them in combination by opening NotePlan's folder as a vault in Obsidian.īelow the are basic steps to make both apps work together. I hope some in the Community may provide some helpful ideas, or I’ll later provide some as and if I find them.NotePlan and Obsidian are both saving your notes as plain text markdown files. I particularly liked the post by on Zettlelkasten, Roam, Obsidian et al., and the discussion thereof. I like the format of the Agenda Community. But, I’m always interested in something new, so that’s why I’m exploring and writing this post. These two I’ll definitely be sticking with. I also have TheBrain mobile and have been a user of TheBrain for about 20 years. ![]() I’m in the Obsidian mobile beta trial, and it’s looking very smooth storing on iCloud links with my Windows-based Obsidian, easy as can be. The lack of back-linking in Agenda is a plus for NotePlan, but Agenda has a more appealing premium fee structure, and basic is free to use forever. What I like about the current Agenda app is the easy slide-over of the calendar and reminders, combined with the notes and project aspects. My interest in PKM goes back nearly 30 years to Lotus Agenda (which I still miss) and others. (I have far too much invested in software and developed systems to ever switch to a Mac.) A Windows Agenda app (there is one, but apparently not of compatibility) would be ideal. A share sheet would be a step in that direction. Obviously, I can copy and paste to another app that transfers to Windows, but I’m looking for something easier and better. But, I’m not convinced that Agenda and I have a long future ahead, primarily because of the barrier with transferring info to Windows. So far, I’m favoring Agenda over NotePlan. I’m a new user of Agenda I’m looking to see how I might connect Agenda to my Windows PC-based PKM systems, TheBrain, Obsidian, Evernote, Pocket, and Outlook.
