NotePlan Plugin Launcher

Simple. Fast. Focused.

Why I Built This

Managing plugins in NotePlan is powerful and I couldn't remember all of the slash commands, and I wanted something that gave us instant access to what matters without digging through menus. So here it is.

NotePlan Plugin Launcher is a minimal, no-fuss desktop utility that gives you one-click access to your favorite NotePlan plugin commands. Built by a user who lives in NotePlan.
