Create todo lists and manage your tasks in Notesnook with ease using task lists. A task list lives inside a note, so your checklist sits alongside the notes that explain it — and it is encrypted like everything else.
Task lists are part of the Essential plan and above. On the free plan you can still use a simple checklist: type [] inside an existing bullet list, or pick {{checklist}} from the toolbar.
+ (Insert) button in the toolbar.{{taskList}}.You can also press Ctrl+Shift+T, or type [] on an empty line if you have Markdown shortcuts turned on.
Every task list carries a header showing how many of its items are done, with a progress bar that fills as you check things off. Checking a parent task checks all of its subtasks, and clearing the last subtask unchecks the parent.
When you add a task list to a note, a header is added on top of each task list. You can add a title to the task list.
Sort completed tasks to the bottom of the list with the button in the task list header.
Remove every completed item at once with the button in the task list header.
You can move task items and change the order by drag and drop using the drag handle at the start of each task item.
Notesnook supports unlimited subtasks under a single task item.

Once a list is final, you can lock it against accidental edits with the {{readonlyTaskList}} button in the task list header — useful for a checklist you follow but don't change, like a packing list or a release checklist. The setting applies to nested task lists too, and you toggle it back off from the same button.
