#Task Management

Aino LifeOS automatically collects all - [ ] tasks from your notes into a centralized panel.

#Where to Open in the App

• Aino Desktop: Click the task icon in the right sidebar to open the task inbox. Open the calendar from the left sidebar to drag tasks onto time blocks.
• Settings: Open Settings → Calendar to adjust calendar views, the default write calendar, and external calendar subscriptions.
• Obsidian: Tasks remain normal Markdown checkboxes. If you write - [ ] in Obsidian, Aino collects it when you return to the vault.

#Create Tasks in Notes

In any note, type:

- [ ] Write weekly report
- [ ] Reply to emails
- [ ] Prepare meeting materials

These tasks automatically appear in the right-side task inbox.

#Use Task Autocomplete

In the Aino Desktop visual editor, place the cursor at the end of a task line and type a trigger. When suggestions appear, use the arrow keys to select one and press Enter; press Esc to close the menu.

After choosing a due, scheduled, or start date, you can enter today, tomorrow, a weekday name, next week, next month, or next year to choose the date. Weekly recurrence also supports every week on mon through every week on sun.

Autocomplete only activates on Markdown task lines. When the same metadata category already exists, Aino does not suggest it again. For example, a task that already has a 📅 due date can still use start to add an independent 🛫 start date.

#Task Inbox

Click the task icon in the right panel to open the task inbox:

#Three Time Groups

• Today -- Tasks to handle today
• Tomorrow -- Tomorrow's tasks
• Later -- Tasks without a specific date

#Common Operations

#Complete Tasks

Click the checkbox in the inbox to mark a task complete. The - [ ] in the original note automatically becomes - [x].

#Tasks with Dates

Add start and due date markers after a task:

- [ ] Submit report 🛫 2026-07-14 📅 2026-07-20

🛫 is the start date and 📅 is the due date. The due date determines the task inbox time group.

#Edit a Start or Due Date

In the visual editor, click the icon or date text in 🛫 2026-07-14 or 📅 2026-07-20 to open the date picker. A change replaces only the date you clicked; the other date, tags, and block ID remain intact.

#Cross-Note Sync

Regardless of where tasks are written -- daily notes, project docs, or reading notes -- they're all collected in the task inbox. Completing a task in the inbox auto-updates the original note.
