Though they both operate different, they basically do the same thing. NotePlan keeps your data in plain text files.There are pros and cons to how well they do what they do, in my eyes. Agenda makes it difficult to get all your data out - you have to do this on a note-by-note basis. NotePlan has a simple, pedestrian design.Agenda finally came up with a share extension and it is very well thought out.

Both apps do well across macOS and iOS/iPadOS, but to my eyes Agenda’s design and multitude of sliding panels and sidebars on iOS/iPadOS are off-putting and a substantial drag on usefulness.Agenda is slick but I think its opinionated design gets in the way of utility.

There’s more, but I come down on the side of preferring NotePlan because it just doesn’t get in the way of work, where Agenda is fiddly and tweaky and full of itself. Foo on me for being impatient for a new toy.) (I admired Agenda’s pricing model, until it tricked myself recently into buying a new 12-month subscription when I got the strong impression that I had to do that do get the share extension – then it came out of beta 5 days after I paid the bill and the extension was free. Judging by the beta Noteplan 3 will move even more in the direction of being calendar focussed. I liked about Noteplan 2 that it was a flat file sync that basically created txt/md files in folders in iCloud. They are moving to a database right now, but as far as I understood it, they want to maintain the flat file copy. It’s great to have those files indexed in other tools (DevonThink) or accessible from other OS. The editor in v2 was still is quite clunky, it greatly improved in v3. The syntax-hiding is still not quite right. In v3 you’ll have #-tags and folders (all multi-level) on top of the calendar based system. Paired with in-line images and a bullet-journal style todo system, with a review view built-in, as well as NotePlan’s take on “custom perspective” or save-able filters. I haven’t fully implemented Noteplan, but I like the idea of having a running daily notepad for quick ideas, pieces of informations or tasks that needed to be jotted down. This solves the issue of notes in Apple Notes, Bear, Evernote etc. requiring maintenance later, when you have to decide whether you want to keep it and where you want to file it. That bares the danger of unimportant notes being carried over way too often. The great thing about NotePlan is that if there actually is a piece of information in your daily notes that is worth keeping that is relevant for a certain project or area of your life, you can simply tag it. Yet the convenience of the app to quickly capture tasks is not there yet.
