KnotQ
A local-first desktop planning workspace where structured notes become tasks, deadlines, reminders, and calendar events.

About KnotQ
KnotQ is a planning workspace built on schemes — structured documents with headings, checkboxes, and nested items. Write a project the way you think about it.
Add a start, an end, or both to a line and it lands on your calendar — as an event, assignment, or reminder.
The Daily Queue is today's short list. Whatever you don't finish rolls into tomorrow; what you finish stays behind.
