NotePlan Quick Capture

[TobiasMende]

Hi folks, I have built another workflow using the Workflow Builder. This time it is a workflow that integrates Alfred with NotePlan using it's x-callback-url scheme.

 

Overview

This workflow can:

1. Quickly add a note to an "Inbox".
2. Quickly add a task to today's Calendar note.

 

Disclaimer: I am in no way affiliated with the creators of NotePlan. I am just a (power-)user.

 

Here is a sneak peek of the functionality:

Of course, you can use Markdown:

You can also use Hotkeys, Fallback Searches and Universal Actions. Here is an example of the Universal Action:

 

Add a title and the note will land in your inbox:

When you use the universal actions from browsers, the URL of the website is stored as context.

The result in NotePlan looks like this:

 

 

Configuration

Of course, you can configure the workflow to suit your needs:

 

Technical Requirements

• None. Apart of having NotePlan installed, this workflow relies on osascript (Apple Script and JavaScript) that are available by default on Mac.

 

Get the workflow

• The code is on GitHub.
• The initial release (v1.0.0) is here: https://github.com/TobiasMende/alfred-noteplan-quick-capture/releases/download/v1.0.0/alfred-noteplan-quick-capture.alfredworkflow

 

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful. 😊 – I am looking forward to your thoughts and feedback. 🙏

 

Merry Christmas, everyone! 🎄
