so welcome back everyone it is francesco here today we're diving into meister note
now it's weird to say that because they have meister task mindmeister now they have meister
notes we'll be reviewing the new note-taking application from this company meister and uh
sharing about sort of team aspects and personal aspects of how you can use it it's our first time
trying it out but we're going to give you all that you need to know about this application before we
begin guys we have a brand new skillshare class all about my own personal productivity workflows
i'm going to be mentioning how i use task calendar and notes inside of one course it's on skillshare
you can get it free in the link in description uh it's about 47 minutes long and i think you'll
really enjoy it so let's get all signed up for an account okay so after a fairly easy sign up
i'm now into meister note and as you can see very much notion-esque in its design uh if i for
example wanted to create a new page or new note i can press the plus button and as you can see here
a new note has been created let's say i wanted to sort of start organizing um my meeting for this
afternoon maybe with bob and i could add a cover and as you can see they bring in from unsplash
and also some of their own you've also got an icon um and they've got a few custom made ones
they've got more from here they look sort of icon findery which is good enough for sort of having
icons set up and as you can see here there's a slash command to get you started so nothing you
wouldn't see expect to see inside a notion with more of a fluffy design a little bit nicer in my
opinion maybe it's the font maybe it's just the rounded edges um but just slightly nicer in my
opinion however they don't have what you'd expect inside of this application they say they have 15
content blocks but um obviously if you compare it to notion notion has a considerable amount more
not just with the api but also with the fact that they've got databases inside of this the blocks
they tend to have a similar sort of structure so for example these three blocks would be condensed
into one block in notion and as you can imagine they're three blocks so they're the same thing
just with different colors and different icons so you can see what i mean they've sort of expanded
their blocks as much as they possibly can and it's actually a little bit easier to understand them
than say you win the sound of notion in notion you do acquire a slight little bit more education when
it comes to utilizing the tool and customizing it further so the real sort of integrations that
make this application different is the meister task integration and the mind map integration so
let's show you how that works so if i wanted to create a new task i could for example add like
follow-up bob as a task and i can add it to a project that i've gotten here
and i can add it in the stage of which it's in and assign it to a person and as you can see
the task actually appears in the top right corner and if i were to click on it uh click on it here
it would take me directly to meister task and i can add all of the relevant details in this case
add more checklist items add attachments etc etc and obviously go a step further however it
won't allow me to do that inside of this it's more of a preview window which is nice in a way
but not necessarily ideal if you're trying to sort of bring together everything and sort of
do stuff all in one app however you do have this lovely right hand panel that allows you to see
all your tasks in one view which is super nice so when it comes to replicating a note
that could turn into a meeting template if i were to go to a note and press right hand
side i can save it as a template and i can include things like subnotes but a new template over here
is created so nothing that you wouldn't expect and you can create a new note from the template here
you can move the template obviously up here you can uh in the pro plan create unlimited templates
which means you get things like larger attachments workspace sharing unlimited workspaces bulk note
com duplication let's take a look at the pricing plans for this current experience okay so
i wasn't sure what the pricing plans were but as you can see for basic which is three you get up
to five views five workspaces a number of notes unlimited number of content blocks which is good
20 meg per file which is fairly reasonable um and also seven days of version history so in terms
of the features you don't get the pre-defined templates in this one i'm not sure they've updated
that but you do get things like spell checker presentation mode no printing integrations but you
don't get things like admin accounts and the full note covers new duplications and custom template
however it's a fairly good free plan um i don't really see a huge problem with it so as you can
imagine that's fairly reasonable they've got a pro plan which really boosts you in terms of version
history gives you unlimited workspaces and also really does give you more multiple team members
real-time collaboration and also assumingly you'd have uh improved sort of templates here
um you can get better note duplication and splash but for 5.99 a month that's fairly reasonable i
wouldn't say that's incredible maybe they should down there free plan a little bit because it's not
that much difference but um obviously uh still early days for this application so one thing
that's quite nice is you can create workspaces from here and you can create workspace groups
i quite like this sort of like panel view that you get you can also change it to like sort of
this sort of vision view and as you can see here i can go back in anytime i want to get things going
i can see version history over here information and i can even duplicate the note and save it
presentation mode is here this would look really nice and zoomed in on presentation mode i'd say
there's really not too much hideously different from notion notion i think packs way more in
against something like this still early days for this application sort of like the fact that you
can connect to the micellar task but there's not really too much detail in terms of how much you
can do inside a meister note you can obviously attach you can create mind maps as well but i
can assume that's just an embedding inside of it um but it's not really that impressive in terms of
that one thing i like is the design i really like the fact that you can create templates
straight away i like this right hand panel with the tasks but aside from that i'm sort of glad
it's free you can see that you can switch between these here but at the moment i don't necessarily
see this being a notion competitor directly so folks that was my opinions on meisternote
let me know what you think of the application and feel free to share it in the comments below
