If I edit the line's text, does the task lose its due date and assignee?

No. On every save the lines are reconciled with the tasks table by comparing text: a correction does not wipe what you had set.

Do reminders work on the phone?

They are browser notifications: they arrive wherever you gave permission. On the phone the app installs from the browser tab and receives notifications from there.

Can I assign a task to someone else?

Yes: every task has an assignee. If the note is shared, whoever sees the note sees the task too.

Sound familiar?

«My to-dos live in three places, and I always forget one.»

A commitment made in a meeting lands in the meeting note. Another one in a to-do app. A third stays in the chat. By Friday you have done two, and you find out about the third when someone asks.

What happens today

Checklists in notes are decoration: nobody collects them, nobody reminds you.
The to-do app doesn't know which note a task came from, and the note doesn't know the task was done.
You copy to-dos from one place to another by hand, and from then on there are two truths.
Reminders only arrive if the app is open, and the app is only open when you remember it.

How gethrs solves it

You don't create a task: you write a checkbox

A line with a checkbox inside a note is a real task. It shows up in the Tasks area, where you give it a due date, reminder, priority, repeat and a flag. Tick it on one side, it updates on the other: two places showing the same thing cannot show it differently.

One Tasks area for everything

All your to-dos in one place, with or without a note behind them (a task can also be created from scratch). Filters by due date, priority and flag; every task says which note it comes from, and takes you there.

Reminders that actually arrive

A browser notification at the right time, even with the tab closed. You can test it with a button, so you know it works before you rely on it.

The calendar, to see the week

Tasks with a date and meetings, month by month, week by week. From a calendar cell you create a task or a meeting with the date already chosen.

All the features →Bring your notes here →

In practice

In a note type “- [ ] ” and something to do: the checkbox appears by itself.
Open the Tasks area: it is there. Give it a due date and a reminder.
Tick it from the Tasks area and go back to the note: the checkbox is ticked there too.
