Todos

noetect includes a built-in task management system for tracking your work.

Creating Todos

Create a new todo from anywhere:

• Press ⌘N when in the todos view
• Use the command palette (⌘K) and search for "Create New Todo"
• Click the + button in the todos browser

Todo Properties

Each todo can have:

Property	Description
Title	The main task description
Description	Optional longer details (supports markdown)
Status	todo, in_progress, done, or later
Project	Group related tasks together
Tags	Add labels for filtering
Due Date	Set a deadline
Attachments	Attach files to tasks

Views

noetect offers multiple ways to view your todos:

Browser View

The default view shows all your todos in a list. Filter by:

• Status (active, completed, later)
• Tags
• Search text

Projects View

See todos organized by project. Each project shows its tasks grouped together, making it easy to focus on one area of work.

Archived View

Completed todos are moved to the archive. Browse your history to see what you've accomplished.

Status Workflow

Todos move through these statuses:

todo → in_progress → done
         ↓
       later

• todo: Not started yet
• in_progress: Currently working on
• done: Completed (moves to archive)
• later: Deferred for future

Quick Status Changes

• Press ⌘Enter to mark a todo as complete
• Press ⌘⌫ to delete a todo

Projects

Projects help you organize related todos:

1. When creating a todo, enter a project name
2. If the project doesn't exist, it will be created
3. Use the Projects View to see all todos by project

Opening a Specific Project

Use the command palette (⌘K) and type "Open Todos: [project name]" to jump directly to a project.

Tags

Tags provide flexible organization across projects:

• Add multiple tags to any todo
• Filter the browser view by tag
• Use tags for things like urgent, blocked, review

MCP Integration

The todos system exposes an MCP server, allowing external AI tools to:

• Read your todo list
• Create new todos
• Update task status
• Mark tasks complete

This enables AI assistants to help manage your tasks directly.
