obsidian-calendar-plugin VS NotePlan_Themes

I really like the calendar plugin - it makes it easy to write daily notes, https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin.

Daily Journaling using Periodic Notes and Calendar: These enable me to maintain my daily journaling habit that I had in Evernote and add a visual view using the Canvas plug-in and powerful templates for habit tracking.

Ever since I discovered periodic notes, I wanted to make yearly, quarterly, and monthly plans. But the calendar plugin only provided quick access to daily and weekly notes.

Hello. It's kinda not efficient to manually type in the deadlines of my tasks in my kanban-board to the Calendar plugin by liamcain. Some of my deadlines were postponed so I had to change the deadline dates in my kanban-board thus I have to manually type in the new dates in my calendar.

To facilitate the creation of journal/daily pages, I suggest editing the “Daily Notes” settings. For example, use the following date format: YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD, and put all the notes in a single folder (like JOURNAL). You may also want to apply a specific template. It is also worth creating a separate note like “tags” where you will specify all the different tags to use for your daily notes (ideally start all the tags with -, like #-😊 so that once you type #- you will get a dropdown with all the tags). Finally, you can quickly find different dates with the Calendar plugin.

I'm referring to this plugin with the title "Calendar": https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin

I tried obsidian but felt it had too many gears and knobs and spent too many times fiddling with them. I fell back on this app which is based on local markdown storage but takes it up a notch.

The fact that everything is in plain text files on my computer is very important for me and future proofed.

Noteplan [1] has stuck for at least 3 years now. I like that in addition to old-school notes pages, each day has its own page. I capture notes and to-dos when I'm in meetings, and it has a separate view that will aggregate all your to-dos onto the same screen, no matter what day they appeared on. That might be available in many note-taking apps now, but when I converted to Noteplan, I couldn't find that feature anywhere. I really wanted something that combined to-dos and notes into the same software.

Note-taking apps are a really crowded space and there are die-hards in every camp. It sounds trite, but I'm convinced the best one is the one that sticks and that you actually use.

NotePlan + Session

You might have a look at NotePlan.

I use https://noteplan.co/

It is a planner/note-taking app that connects to your calendar and you can drag and drop "tasks" onto certain days, create notes that link to certain meetings, and time-block your days well in advance.

While exploring similar apps in the market (I recently got an iPhone XS), I stumbled upon two competitors that caught my attention: Agenda (https://agenda.com/) and Noteplan (https://noteplan.co/). Both these apps offer some remarkable features that, if integrated into UpNote, could take it to the next level. Allow me to share my thoughts and ignite a productive discussion within our user community.
