April 9, 2026 NoteTask 1.1.3 – Free cross-platform task & notes in plain-text on your disk!

Hi everyone,

I’ve written a small application called Notetask for managing task lists or notes in plain text files.
It’s useful for quickly organizing many ongoing tasks.

Each line in the file represents a separate task, but multiline tasks are also supported — in the file they are separated by the <br> tag.
The app also supports basic Markdown formatting, so tasks can be easily copied to Markdown files.

Notetask, a free and open-source cross-platform task manager for Windows and Linux. The core idea of Notetask is simple: it stores tasks and notes in plain text files where each line represents a separate task or note. Users can also choose to save their files in an encrypted format for personal information, while all data remains local to their device.

Thanks to its flexible interface customization, users can choose which elements and fields to display, allowing Notetask to function not only as a task manager but also as a notes organizer or a secure personal data storage. Interface settings are saved individually for each file, so every document can have its own preferred layout and visible fields.

Notetask provides a customizable interface and offers a range of features to manage tasks effectively, including automatic numbering, grouping, archiving, duration tracking, task highlighting, merging and indenting tasks, as well as copy/paste in Markdown format.

The project is open-source and written in Lazarus (Free Pascal). GitHub:
