Notetask 1.1.5 - Free cross-platform task & notes in plain-text on your disk!

[AlexanderT]

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.

The project is open-source and written in Lazarus (Free Pascal). GitHub:
https://github.com/plaintool/notetask

Now featured on MajorGeeks — one of the oldest software directories!
https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/notetask.html

New Version released!
Bug fix update

Hope you enjoy the update! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome, especially on GitHub Issues. Wishing you all the best!

Thank you for your interest in Notetask!

You can download the tar.gz archive containing the executable files for Windows and Linux, on the GitHub release page:
https://github.com/plaintool/notetask/releases

Please note that these executables do not register file associations with the application.

You can extract the archive using a free tool like 7-Zip or via the command line in Windows 10

Code: Text  [Select][+][-]

1. tar -xvzf notetask-1.0.0.tar.gz

There is also an installer available, which can be used either for all users (system-wide) or for a single user, installing into the user's local data folder.

Hi d2010,

Thanks for the suggestion — just to confirm, do you mean a portable version that unpacks itself into a temp directory (for example %TEMP%\NoteTasXX) so it can run from a USB stick without leaving traces on the system after exit?
Do you also suggest auto-incrementing folder names (NoteTas00..NoteTas99) and removing the temp folder on program exit?
Thanks!

Wonderfull,
Need portable if possible.

Hello !

I’ve added a portable version. If the file form_settings.json is located next to the exe, the application stores its settings in the same directory as the exe. An empty form_settings.json file is also included in the archive.

I’ve attached the ZIP archive to the current 1.1.0 release, although the exe version differs slightly from the installer builds.

Best regards,

[d2010]

Hi,

The latest version of Notetask (including the source code) is always available on GitHub:

Yes, you can test the build or installation on Windows XP using the MSI package.
A portable version is also available as a ZIP archive.
