TODO.md vs Properpad

TODO.md is a dopamine to-do list for ADHD brains - a wrapper for Markdown files to keep all tasks with notes you already have. Choose a folder of markdown files. An Obsidian vault works; so does any other notes folder. Each file with checkbox tasks becomes a list. Folder structure stays as it is on disk. Checking a task, dragging to reorder, and adding a line write back to that file. The files remain the source of truth. - Clickable home-screen widget that pages through your task list - A calendar mirror for tasks with a due date - Capture from Siri and get Reminders into the note you choose - Optional dictation for task and feedback text There is no account or import step. Files stay where you put them, including iCloud Drive. Optional feedback uses our support service without uploading your vault. By default, a file lists when its frontmatter includes the tag `todo`. You can change or turn off that filter in Settings.
