NotePlan - One space for all your work

Version: 3.11 released on April 09

We’ve got a new update to NotePlan for you today with filter views in the sidebar! You can now switch between your daily timeline and filters in the sidebar, on macOS, iPadOS and iOS.

Combined with the new “Rolling 30 Days” timeline option inside filters, your sidebar now has always up-to-date views on yesterday and the next 30 days from today.

Adding in filters makes your daily note even more dynamic and productive by showing a custom list of tasks alongside your daily to-do items.

PLAN SMARTER AND KEEP YOUR EYE ON WHAT’S NEXT — Filter Views in the Sidebar

In NotePlan 3.11, your daily note sidebar now has a huge upgrade with filter views. You can switch the daily timeline for a filter view of your choice. Just click the dropdown button "Timeline" in the right sidebar above the timeline on macOS and select a specific Filter View (CTRL+4). On iOS and iPadOS, pull up the timeline (blue icon in the bottom-right corner) and also tap on "Timeline" top left of the timeline to select a specific Filter View.

Filter views also have a new timeline option that makes the filter view next to your daily note incredibly useful: “Rolling 30 Days”. This timeframe shows you tasks from yesterday and the next 30 days *based on your current day*. Having a filter view with “Rolling 30 Days” helps you stay current: you’re always looking 30 days into the future, from today.

One more thing: all tasks inside the Filter View can be completed and edited, too. You can even add new tasks to the filter right inside the sidebar view!

So how can you use the new integrated filter view to boost your workflow? Here are some ideas:

- See upcoming tasks with a tag or mention from a filter. E.g. all tasks from your list “Personal Projects” tagged with #priority1.
- See you overdue tasks filter to make sure nothing slips through the cracks.
- Create a filter view with an important project and show it in the sidebar to keep the project front and center.
- Want a productivity boost? Why not show the filter with all tasks you’ve completed this week?

The new filter view inside the sidebar lets you stay on top of things even better by combining multiple views inside a single window.

### Specifiers
- Support for "dec" as a shorthand for "decimal", like "0x123 to dec" (thanks Nasco)

### Calendar calculations
