TaskNotes

TaskNotes is a calm, capable task manager built around portable Markdown records. Capture work quickly, decide what matters today, and organise tasks without locking your information into one app. • Create, edit, complete, search, and reorder tasks • Plan with lists, boards, calendars, due dates, and scheduled dates • Set priorities, recurring tasks, reminders, and dependencies • Track time and attach images • Turn rough notes into selected tasks with Scratchpad • Choose system, light, or dark appearance • Inspect the Markdown record behind any task TaskNotes works with mdbase collections. Use a hosted collection or connect one kept on your computer; the same interface and task model apply either way. Your collection remains the authoritative home of your tasks, and each task stays a structured Markdown record you can use beyond TaskNotes. Reminders are delivered by mdbase, so TaskNotes does not need to stay open. Notification payloads contain no task titles, descriptions, paths, or record content. Learn more at tasknotes.dev.
