TaskPaper

TaskPaper lets users create and manage to‑do lists using plain‑text files, where each line is automatically recognized as a project, task, note, or @tag. The editor provides keyboard‑friendly entry, outliner capabilities such as folding, focusing, and filtering, and supports dates, times, and dark mode. Lists can be searched by tag, type, or content, and saved searches enable quick views of relevant items.

The application runs on macOS and stores data in simple text files that remain editable with any editor or compatible third‑party apps. It includes drag‑and‑drop reordering, import/export with Reminders.app, and a JavaScript API for custom scripting and theming via LESS/CSS stylesheets. An active community contributes pull requests and support.

TaskPaper is targeted at individuals and teams who prefer lightweight, keyboard‑driven task management without a proprietary format, while still benefiting from outliner features and extensibility through scripts and themes.
