Field notes
The described workflow begins in a writing document: a slash on an empty line inserts a planning or reference block, and the site says tasks and dates then roll up across documents. Its listed formats include PDF, Word and Excel, with PNG or JPG export for whiteboards. The beta supports macOS 13 or later on Apple Silicon and Intel; mobile and Windows versions are described as planned, not available.
