No duplicate task/calendar entry.
A line with a start and end becomes an event. A line with only an end becomes an assignment. A line with only a start becomes a reminder.
line-first planning
KnotQ
A productivity app for people whose calendar only makes sense when it stays attached to the plan.
Write normally. Add a start or due time to any line when it needs to become real. KnotQ keeps the source document, the calendar, reminders, and daily plan tied together.
Direct downloads use the latest GitHub release.
the case
Most productivity tools split the work from the time.
KnotQ starts from a different premise: the line where you wrote the work is the canonical object. A date changes how that line behaves, but not where its context lives.
Daily planning without copying your life around.
Plan today from the same source documents that hold your projects, notes, and long-running work.
Calendar views keep the trail back.
Every scheduled block can jump back to the originating line, including its nested notes and details.
The background system stays quiet.
Notifications and automatic completion react to document changes, then use OS scheduling instead of constant polling.
actual workflow
A dense calendar when the week is dense.
KnotQ is built for real weeks: overlapping classes, due dates, errands, meetings, and reminders all sharing the same planning surface.
documents stay useful
Not every line wants to be a task.
Use the same document for plans, meeting notes, project outlines, loose thoughts, and scheduled commitments. Only the lines with dates show up on the calendar.
