NotePlan 3.22 brings a new built-in MCP server for AI assistants, support for iPhone Duo, and a share extension on the Mac. Siri can now add to your existing notes, search gets more powerful, and reminders and sync are more reliable.

AI Connectors (Mac)

NotePlan now comes with its own MCP server. It connects NotePlan to AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Claude Code, so they can find, read and update your notes, tasks and calendar right from the chat.

To set it up, open Help ▸ AI Connectors and choose your app. Unlike the previous Node.js server, there is nothing to download or install. The new server is faster, more stable, and works even when NotePlan is closed.

Read the setup guide for all the details.

iPhone Duo

NotePlan 3.22 is ready for iPhone Duo and adapts to the screen you use:

• Unfolded, the editor and calendar sit side by side.
• Folded, you get the familiar iPhone layout.
• The sidebar, calendar and sheets fit both screens, and NotePlan switches smoothly when you fold or unfold.

Share Extension (Mac)

You can now send text, links and files to NotePlan from other Mac apps. Choose Share ▸ NotePlan in Safari or any other app, then pick today's note, tomorrow, this week, any other note, or a new note. Links show a preview with their title, and NotePlan remembers where you sent your last share.

Siri

Ask Siri to add text to one of your existing notes, and bullet points stay bullet points. This works with the new Siri on iOS 27 and macOS 27.

• Siri and Spotlight find your notes more reliably.
• The Write with Siri button no longer appears in note editors on macOS 27.

Search & References

Search gets new operators for more precise results:

• Search in several folders at once, for example path:"Work","Home".
• The new done: operator finds completed tasks by their completion date, for example done:30days.
• Date filters accept open and relative ranges, for example date:2026-09-01..
• Searching for text that starts with @, such as @done(2026-10-11, now finds results.

Calendar notes also get a new option to hide empty headings in their references. See all search operators in the advanced search guide.

Apple Reminders

The Apple Reminders integration is more reliable in this update:

• Fixed a false "Reminders Unavailable" alert.
• A typed @remind creates only one reminder, even when the note is open on other devices.
• Open tasks with older @done dates no longer create completed reminders.
• Fixed high CPU use with task lines that contain many @done dates.

Sync & Reliability

We also fixed several issues behind the scenes:

• More reliable start: fixed notes missing after launch, wrong weekly note counts, and note names with semicolons.
• Fixed a crash when uploading attachments with CloudKit.
• Sharing to NotePlan from other apps is more reliable on iPhone and iPad, and shared files no longer replace each other.
• Images and sketches sent to AI now work with custom AI hosts such as Claude.

On Mac

A few more improvements for the Mac app, many of them for macOS 27:

• Menus show icons and section titles again on macOS 27.
• The calendar sidebar uses the native macOS material.
• Find in note updates correctly after you switch notes.
• The command bar is easier to read with dark themes.
• Fixed a scroll bar in the mini calendar that shifted the days out of line.
• Folder views keep their grouping and filters when you switch views.
