One calendar for everything
Plans from every scheme, plus your Google Calendar, in a single week view.
Organization + Calendar
Reminders, Assignments, Events, and Plans in one workspace
KnotQ turns markdown documents into a live schedule.
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.
Why KnotQ
Planning without splitting the plan apart
Schedule right in your notes
Drop a reminder, due date, or event onto any line as you write — no separate forms or fields.
Yours, and offline
Local-first plain files that work fully offline. No account required.
A fresh start each day

FAQ
Common questions about KnotQ
Is KnotQ free?
Yes. KnotQ works fully offline with no account required. Optional KnotQ Sync is available across your devices.
Does KnotQ work offline?
Completely. KnotQ is local-first: your schemes, tasks, and calendar live in plain files on your device and work without an internet connection. Optional sync is available when you want it.
Is sync available?
Yes. KnotQ Sync keeps an entitled account’s workspace in step across desktop, iOS, and Android, while every app remains fully usable offline.
What is a local-first planner?
A local-first planner stores your data on your own device first, rather than on someone else’s server. KnotQ keeps your notes, tasks, deadlines, and calendar as plain files you own, so the app stays fast, private, and available offline.
How does KnotQ turn notes into a calendar?
KnotQ is built on schemes — markdown-style documents. Add a start date, an end date, or both to any line and it becomes a calendar item: an event, an assignment, or a reminder. Everything you schedule shows up in one week view.
Can I import my Google Calendar?
Yes. KnotQ can import your Google Calendar read-only and merge it into the same week view as your plans, so you see meetings, classes, and self-scheduled tasks together.
Which platforms does KnotQ support?
KnotQ runs on iOS, Android, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux. Optional sync works across your signed-in devices.
