What is PX7 Markdown Tasks?

Gather checkboxes from Markdown files into one native Mac list and write completed changes back to the exact source lines.

Where does PX7 Markdown Tasks do its work?

PX7 Markdown Tasks works directly with the Markdown files stored on your Mac.

How much does PX7 Markdown Tasks cost?

PX7 Markdown Tasks costs €15 once. It includes a seven-day trial, and one app-specific key can be used on up to seven Macs. There is no subscription.

How do I collect tasks from multiple Markdown files?

Checkboxes written as - [ ] and - [x] are gathered from your notes folders into one list, so tasks scattered across many files can be seen together. PX7 Markdown Tasks updates as files change.

Can I complete a task without opening the original file?

Yes. Ticking a box in the list edits the exact line in the source file, so the note stays the record and nothing is duplicated.

Can I use ordinary Markdown checkboxes as a task manager?

That is the whole idea — no special syntax and no separate database. Due dates written as 📅 2026-07-20 or due:2026-07-20 are recognised and sorted.

PX7 Markdown Tasks

All your to-do's, gathered from your notes.

Tasks is a native Mac app. It finds every - [ ] checkbox across your Markdown notes and puts them in one list. Tick a box and it's written straight back into the source note as - [x].

Your to-do's already live in your notes - scattered across meeting notes, jots, and project files. Tasks just gathers them. No vault, no import, no account; it reads your files in place and only edits them when you tick a box.

How it works

They're already written. Now they're together.

☑️

Every checkbox, one list

Tasks scans your notes folders for - [ ] and - [x] and shows them grouped by note. Nothing to set up.

✍️

Tick it → back in the note

Check a box in the app and the exact line in your Markdown file becomes - [x] - a clean, minimal edit. Untick to reopen.

📅

Due dates, sorted

Write 📅 2026-07-20 or due:2026-07-20 in a task and Tasks shows it, sorts by it, and flags overdue ones.

🔎

Live, and it opens the note

New and edited tasks appear automatically. Double-click any task to open its note (in Markdown Viewer, if that's your default).

The promise

The to-do list you already have.

You don't need another app to hold your tasks - you've been writing them in your notes all along. Tasks surfaces them, lets you check them off, and writes it back to the plain file. No lock-in, no migration, no account.

Why

One list, written back to the source.

Checkboxes often sit across many files. Tasks gathers them, lets you act on them, and keeps each change as plain text in the note where the task was written.
