TaskNotes app · 0.1.0
Connection and availability
Understand when TaskNotes can reach hosted and computer-connected mdbase collections.
TaskNotes reads and writes the selected mdbase collection directly. It does not keep a separate offline collection or a queue of changes waiting to sync.
What each status means#
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Connected | TaskNotes can read and change the selected collection |
| Connecting | TaskNotes is checking the collection connection |
| Collection unavailable | The hosted service or connected computer cannot be reached |
Open More to see the current status and use Refresh now to read the latest collection state.
Hosted collections#
A hosted collection needs a network connection and an available hosted mdbase service. If either is unavailable, TaskNotes cannot open the collection or save changes. Reconnect the collection if its authorization has expired.
Collections on your computer#
A computer collection also needs the computer holding the Markdown to be awake, online, and running the mdbase Connect background service. TaskNotes reaches it through the end-to-end encrypted relay. If the computer becomes unavailable, access returns when the computer and connector return.
During a connection problem#
Tasks already visible in the current session may remain on screen during a short interruption, but TaskNotes cannot safely save new changes until mdbase is reachable. A failed action is not silently queued for later.
If the problem continues, open More and choose Change collection to use another mdbase collection.
