Why KnotQ

Most planning tools split your thinking across a notes app, a task manager, and a calendar. KnotQ keeps those pieces together. A line can stay as a note, become a checkbox, get a due date, turn into a reminder, or become a scheduled event block.

• Notes that schedule themselves: add start and end times to any line to make events, assignments, and reminders.
• A calendar with source context: calendar items link back to the exact line they came from.
• Daily Queue: keep a focused day list for quick tasks, notes, and carry-over work.
• Nested task details: indented child lines become event descriptions.
• Local-first storage: schemes, tasks, settings, and daily notes stay on your device.
• Optional Google Calendar import: view Google Calendar events read-only alongside your KnotQ workspace.

Product Tour

Write in schemes

Schemes are markdown-like documents for projects, classes, workstreams, and personal plans. Use headings, checkboxes, bullets, numbered lists, indentation, formatting, and inline dates without leaving the editor.

Plan each day

The Daily Queue gives every day its own page. Incomplete items can carry forward, while completed work stays behind.

Schedule from any line

Use the inline date picker to set a start time, end time, or both. KnotQ turns the line into the right calendar object.
