Note templates

A blank page is the slowest way to start. These ten templates are built into TaskNote on Windows and on the web: pick one in an empty note, type a slash at the start of a line, or open any of them from this page. Your own notes can become templates too.

Brain dump

Prompts to empty your head

Brain dump, September 23, 2026
Write without stopping. Do not sort, do not judge. Sorting comes after.

What is on my mind right now?

What have I been putting off?

What worries me that I cannot control?

What needs to happen before the end of the week?

What would I do if I had a free day?


Now read it back: select anything you can act on and turn it into a task; cross out what is not yours to carry.
What is inside

Five prompts to empty your head, with room to write under each, and a reminder at the end to turn what you can act on into tasks.

Three ways to use a template

  1. An empty new note shows the templates as cards. One click fills the title and the body.

  2. Type / at the start of an empty line inside any note and pick a template to insert right there, for instance a checklist inside your weekend note.

  3. Any note can become a template: the Save as template button copies it into a Templates notebook, and it shows up next to the built-in ones.

Questions

Are the templates free?

Yes. All ten are part of the free plan on Windows and on the web, with no limit on how many times you use them.

Can I change a template?

A template is just the starting text of a note, so edit anything after inserting it. To keep your version, save that note as a template and use yours from then on.

Are notes made from templates encrypted?

Yes. A note from a template is an ordinary note: it is encrypted on your device before it syncs, the same as everything else in TaskNote.
