NotePlan 3.21.1 brings a few bigger additions alongside the usual round of fixes and refinements. The highlights: wiki links can now have aliases, the iOS share extension was rebuilt to accept any kind of content and sync it across your devices, prompting Claude on Mac no longer interrupts you with repeated permission screens, plugins load faster with quicker access to their settings, and tables gained reordering — with a full set of keyboard shortcuts on Mac.
Wiki Links
Wiki links can now carry an alias, so a link can read however you like while still pointing where it should.
Add an alias with a pipe: [[Project XYZ | Roadmap]] links to Project XYZ but shows as "Roadmap"
The full link reappears when your cursor lands on it, so it stays easy to edit
Claude & MCP (Mac)
Prompting Claude no longer interrupts you with repeated permission screens.
Previously macOS could show a permission screen on every prompt after a Claude update — now you'll see at most one
NotePlan no longer needs to be open for Claude to read or edit your notes
The update is usually automatic, though you may need to let the MCP server update once
Share Extension (iOS)
The iOS share extension has been rebuilt from the ground up to accept any kind of content.
Attach images and files to a note without opening NotePlan afterward, with everything syncing to your other devices
Append or prepend when sharing into an existing note
Share into Spaces, project notes, and regular notes — not just calendar notes
Plugins
Plugin loading has been rebuilt internally — smoother, noticeably faster, and quicker to get into a plugin's settings.
Faster access to settings — right-click menu and shortcut on Mac, long-press on iOS
New filter button beside the search field; your filter settings save and sync across devices
For developers: refined CommandBar Forms via the API, better in-browser buttons (iOS), and a new ParagraphObject.fileLineIndex that returns the absolute file line (including frontmatter), preventing note corruption when indexing Editor.paragraphs with line numbers from Editor.selectedParagraphs
Shortcuts & Automation
Apple Shortcuts gained more control over how content lands in your notes.
"Add File to Note" now supports adding text with a line type and priority
Memo AI import adds a summary to your daily note and correctly matches memos that have been moved — configure in Memo AI (iOS)
Tables
Tables now let you reorder rows and columns, not just add them.
Reorder rows and columns, and add rows and columns
Full range of keyboard shortcuts to move, add, and remove rows and columns (Mac)
Fixes & Improvements
Date navigation (title tap, Cmd+T, Today/Tomorrow) now stays within the note's current space
Fixed Space titles sometimes falling back to their ID in the sidebar
Fixed time blocks not appearing in the timeline when folded below a heading or task
Fixed dragging a dated task from references corrupting the time block's title
Fixed importing notes with embedded file attachments from Notion
Fixed pasting images from Apple Notes landing as an empty link
Fixed wiki links and date links inside headings being dropped from references
Fixed >tod / >tom / >yes not suggesting today / tomorrow / yesterday in autocomplete
Fixed a repeating "Add order property?" prompt on some notes
Teamspace member list now shows the actual owner to admins (Mac)
App window now stays hidden when you trigger the global command bar shortcut right after hiding it, Cmd+H (Mac)
Edited notes no longer clutter the Files app's "Recents" list (iOS)
Breadcrumb taps in the path bar now open in the correct window (iOS)
Fixed folder titles not being centered and references being misaligned (iOS)
Fixed icons clipped at the bottom of the autocomplete popup (iOS)
Fixed several stability crashes — editing table cells, autocomplete, search results (which also dropped reminders), the in-note find bar (Cmd+F), quitting the app, odd cursor placement with Cmd+Left / Cmd+Shift+Left next to a task, and a hang opening notes with long runs of whitespace; on iOS, also a hang that could leave a note stuck while loading
