01Schemes

Your plans live as documents

KnotQ is a planning workspace built on schemes — structured documents with headings, checkboxes, and nested items. Write a project the way you think about it.

02Scheduling

Any line becomes a calendar item

Add a start, an end, or both to a line and it lands on your calendar — as an event, assignment, or reminder.

Eventstart + end → time block
Assignmentend only → due marker
Reminderstart only → alert point

03Daily Queue

Work from today

The Daily Queue is today’s short list. Whatever you don’t finish rolls into tomorrow; what you finish stays behind.
