TaskNote User Guide

Creating Your Account

To sync your notes securely across devices, TaskNote requires an account. Your personal encryption key is generated during first use and stored only on your device. This ensures that only you can read your notes.

Open the TaskNote app and sign in using your Google account.

You’ll then be prompted to generate or upload an encryption key.

You have two options:

• Create Key: generate a new encryption key for your notes.
• Upload Key: select a saved key file to regain access to previously encrypted notes.

Each key only works with the notes encrypted using that specific key. If you create a new key, it won’t open old notes.

All notes are stored encrypted on our servers – only your key can decrypt them.

Creating Notes

Click the Orange button in the bottom-right corner of the app. A new note will appear at the top of your list. Add a title and start writing.

Editing Notes

Click on any note to open and edit it. Changes are saved automatically.

Organizing Notes

TaskNote provides several ways to organize your notes:

• Pinning: Click the star icon to pin a note to the top section.
• Folders: Click the folder icon to create folders. Drag and drop notes into folders to keep things organized.

Searching Notes

Use the search bar at the top to find notes by title or content. Results update in real time as you type.

Command-Based Actions

Type / in the search bar to access advanced commands:

• /download all notes – Export all notes as Markdown files
• /logout – Sign out of your account
• /encryption – View your encryption status

Creating Tasks

Switch to the Tasks tab and click Add Task to create a new task. Tasks are stored alongside your notes.

Setting Reminders

Add a date and time to any task to turn it into a reminder. TaskNote will notify you when it's due.

Client-Side Encryption

All notes and tasks are encrypted locally before being stored on our servers. Even TaskNote admins can’t access your content.

Data Portability

Your data is yours. You can export all your notes at any time using the /download all notes command. In this case, your notes will be saved in the Markdown format.
