TaskNotes
Portable Markdown task manager
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Changes since 1.0.5:
• Assign tasks to people in your collection and use Assigned to me in Search. Sharing account identity and member information is optional.
• Saved views are stored as collection records, preserving Obsidian Base comments and layout when edited. Saved views and Scratchpad records support collections with custom type-field names. Saved-view caching is bounded, and late reads cannot restore outdated results.
• Improved setup compatibility with earlier TaskNotes collections, preserving custom field mappings and the Cancelled status. Earlier unmodified task starter types can receive reviewed upgrades.
• Custom text, number, boolean, date and list properties from migrated TaskNotes v4 collections appear in task details without changing their schemas. Collections requiring a newer TaskNotes version show App-update guidance.
• Brief background and foreground refreshes stay quiet. Longer refreshes show an indicator without shifting the layout, and connection warnings retain recovery actions. Try again can recover failed collection startup, and returning to the app refreshes paginated views.
• Task creation retries retain the original submission to avoid duplicate tasks after an uncertain save. Deletion recovery works when the task is already gone, and follow-up reminder or archive failures no longer report an accepted save as failed.
• Tasks can be created directly as completed, including checked Scratchpad drafts. Capture keeps the correctly parsed title when other fields are edited.
• Recurrence editing preserves exact imported end times. Changes to task-model defaults update existing tasks immediately. Reminder reconciliation stays with its original collection when switching collections.
• Scratchpad loads larger note and image histories with fewer requests. When several notes are active, reopening keeps the most recently modified one current and moves the others into history without changing their content.
• Scratchpad task review and the collection picker improve keyboard focus and modal accessibility. Clicking blank task-row space or supporting text opens the task while keeping its other controls independent.
• Large collections transfer less data during loading and refresh. The demo now matches connected collections more closely for search, defaults, counts, limits and recurring tasks, and Projects loads its task identities correctly.
