The checkboxes you write in your notes double as reminders. There's no separate to-do app and no special list - Nodes gathers the open ones onto Home, where each task stays tied to the note you wrote it in.
Write a task
Use a standard markdown task line anywhere in a note:
- [ ] draft the intro
- [x] book the roomNodes accepts the usual variations: a -, *, or + bullet, any leading indent, and [ ] for open or [x] (or [X]) for done. Write them in the editor like any other line - they're just markdown, so they stay readable in the file itself.
On Home
The Reminders section collects the open tasks from your notes and groups them under the note each one came from. Click a note's header to jump straight to it.
It reads every note in your library, so a task can't hide in something you haven't opened in months. What you see is folded, not filtered: roughly a dozen of the most recent task rows show by default, with a quiet show all under them that opens the rest. Tasks already marked done on disk don't appear here; this is a view of open work, not an archive.
Suggestions from the agent
The background agent reads your notes too, and sometimes it has a reminder of its own to offer - always attached to the note it came from. Pending suggestions appear one at a time in a card above the day's list, labeled Suggested by the agent: the reminder, the agent's reasoning, a running counter like 02 / 05, and the source note - click the note's name to open it.
Two buttons decide its fate. Accept turns the suggestion into a real task row under its note's cluster below - a note with only agent reminders gets a cluster of its own. Dismiss records the suggestion permanently as something you didn't want, so the agent won't suggest it - or anything like it - again.
An accepted reminder behaves like any task: check it off and it lingers, then slides away. Dismissing is a decision you make once, at the card - an accepted row has no dismiss, because checking it off already puts it to rest for good. Completed and dismissed reminders are remembered, so the agent never raises the same task twice - and your accepted, completed, and dismissed reminders survive even a manual re-run of the agent; only suggestions you haven't decided on yet get replaced.
Checking one off
Tick a task on Home and Nodes writes the change straight back into the note's file, flipping just that one line. Search is reindexed automatically, so the note stays in step.
A checked item lingers for a moment - long enough to feel the satisfaction - then quietly slides away, leaving only what's still open. Nothing is deleted: the line stays in your note as - [x], exactly where you wrote it.
Agent reminders are the one exception: checking one off never touches the note's file - the reminder was the agent's, not a line you wrote - it simply completes in place and is remembered as done.
