Org-mode tasks

Capture To-Dos in any note and manage them all in one agenda or kanban board.

Loved by people who think in Markdown

Markdown in, Markdown out. No lock-in, and it's faster than anything I tried before.

Questions

Is my data private?

Yes, your data stays your data. We never sell or analyze your data. Your notes and files stay isolated to your account. You can choose to export and delete your data at any time.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. One click exports your notes as Markdown, plus your files and a JSON manifest. Your notes are plain Markdown and can be imported into Obsidian, Logseq, or any other Markdown text editor.

Does it work offline?

Yes, you can read and edit your notes while offline and sync when you're back online. A working internet connection is needed for first loads and cross-device syncing.

What's free vs Pro?

Everything works on the free plan, with caps on storage and note count. Pro lifts the caps — $6.99/mo, or $4.99/mo billed annually.

Do I have to use the keyboard?

No. Everything works with the mouse via visible controls; keyboard shortcuts are a power-up you can grow into. You can open an overview of all the shortcuts from anywhere in the app.
