Quick start

  1. Flag a note as a project. Add marktodo: true to its frontmatter. Status headings in that note now stay in sync with your todos.
  2. Write a todo. Anywhere in the note, type - [ ] Call the plumber. Indent a line under it and that line becomes the todo’s note.
  3. Act on it. Click the checkbox, or open the MarkTodo dashboard from the ribbon, pick the project, and drag the todo to another status. The glyph on the line changes, and in a project note the line moves under that status’s heading, taking its note and any sub-items with it.
  4. Add a due date. Type due @ 2026-07-01 on the line, wherever you like.
  5. Open it on your phone. Install the app from Google Play, point it at your vault folder once through Android’s storage picker, and the same note is there.

Todos in notes that are not projects are loose. You can still check them off, and they wait in the Inbox until you move them somewhere.
