Get started with the TaskNotes app

TaskNotes app is currently in beta. Features, availability, and setup steps may change before the stable release.

The app supports TaskNotes v5 collections based on the mdbase 0.3.0 specification.

1. Open TaskNotes#

Use app.tasknotes.dev in a supported browser or install the Android or iOS application when it is available through its store. The web and native applications use the same task interface.

2. Choose a collection#

TaskNotes opens every collection through mdbase. In the collection chooser, select one labelled Hosted by mdbase or one listed under your connected computer. Read What is mdbase? if this is new to you, then Choose a collection to compare the two options.

Follow Connect TaskNotes to mdbase for a short video, written steps covering hosted collections first, then existing local folders.

3. Create a task#

Use Add task, enter a title, and save. Capture understands the collection's configured status, priority, project, context, and tag values.

4. Review the starter views#

Open Today for current work, Upcoming for scheduled tasks, and Views for the complete collection of lists, boards, calendars, and project views. Navigation belongs to the current collection and can be reordered from Views.

5. Check collection status#

Open Settings to see the collection location, connection state, last refresh, notification access, task model settings, and appearance preference.
