# Notes: Task Manager

Turn checklist items in your notes into trackable tasks with priorities, due dates, and automatic reminders. Tasks live inside your note and sync to a dedicated task panel for easy management.

## Creating Tasks

Tasks are created from **checklist blocks** in the notes editor. When you insert a checklist item (via the slash command `/checklist` or the toolbar), each item becomes a trackable task.

Click the checkbox to toggle completion. Completed tasks show a timestamp and strike-through styling.

## Priority Levels

- **Urgent**— Needs immediate attention
- **High**— Important, do soon
- **Medium**— Normal priority
- **Low**— Can wait
- **None**— No priority set

Click the flag icon on any task block to set or change its priority. The priority badge appears inline next to the task text.

## Due Dates

### Setting a Due Date

Click the calendar icon on any task to open the date picker. Pick a date and optional time. Tasks with due dates show a colored badge: **green** for upcoming, **amber** for today, and **red** for overdue.

## Automatic Reminders

Tasks with due dates automatically receive notifications at four intervals. Each reminder fires once per task — even if the app is closed, the server-side cron job handles delivery.

1. **1 day before** — Fires 24 hours before the due date
2. **5 hours before** — Fires 5 hours before the due date
3. **15 minutes before** — Fires 15 minutes before the due date
4. **Overdue** — Fires when the task passes its due date without completion

## Completing Tasks

Check the box to complete a task. The completion timestamp is recorded and the task gets a visual strike-through. You can un-check to reopen a task at any time. Completed tasks stop receiving reminders.
