Tasks where the thinking happens

Slash-command inside any note, type the task, hit enter. The task lives inline as a checkbox in the body, and also shows up in the global Tasks view. Close the note, open Inbox, the task is there. Mark it done, the checkbox in the note flips. One state, two views.

Picture writing a meeting recap that says "John to send the contract by Friday". You click the line, convert it to a task, and the due date auto-fills to Friday. The link back to the meeting note stays attached, so when the task pops up on Thursday evening you can re-read what the conversation was actually about with one click. No retyping, no copy-paste into a separate todo app, no losing the context that produced the task.

Picture the three paper trays on a tidy desk. One for the new mail you have not opened yet, one for what you need to do today, one for what is coming this week. Korely's three task views are those trays. No configuration, no settings panel, no project switcher.

• Inbox. Every task without a due date. The dumping ground you triage when you decide what to do with each one.
• Today. What is due today plus any task that is already overdue. Sorted with pending first, due date ascending.
• Upcoming. The next seven days, grouped by day. Helps you see what is coming so you do not over-commit on Monday and find Friday already booked.

Every task in every view links back to the note it was born in. One click on the task takes you to the meeting, the project review, the daily journal entry that produced it. The why never gets separated from the what.

The Korely task list is not only a place you write into. It is also a place your AI assistants can write into and read from. Picture a shared notebook on your desk that you, Claude, Cursor, and ChatGPT all flip open during the day. You add a line, Claude adds another, the notebook stays organised, and on Monday morning every line is there waiting for you.

Concretely: through the Model Context Protocol, every MCP-aware assistant can call the create_task and list_tasks tools on your vault. Three useful scenes:

• You finish a chat with Claude about a tricky client question. You ask "create a task for me to follow up with Sarah on Friday". Claude leaves the task in your vault. Friday morning it appears in Today.
• You ask Cursor to draft an outreach email. Before signing off it asks "should I queue a reminder to check whether they replied?" and creates the task if you say yes.
• On Monday morning you ask any MCP-aware assistant "what's on my plate this week?" and it reads the Today and Upcoming lists back to you, with one click through to the source note for each item.

The task list becomes a shared memory between you and the AI tools you trust. Your assistants stop being chat windows that forget the moment you close them, and start being colleagues that leave durable artefacts behind.

Korely tasks cover the shape your own day actually has: capture an action item, give it a due date, check it off when it is done. Same shape as personal task apps like Things, Todoist, and Apple Reminders, with one addition: each task stays linked to the note where it was born, so the why never goes missing.

Picture cooking dinner at home with a short list taped to the fridge. What to buy, what to chop, what to put in the oven. The list is light enough to keep up with you. Korely's task views are designed for that pace: open Inbox, see what is there, get to work. Triage in five minutes, then close the view and go back to the writing.

For team-wide work with assignment, comments, and sprints, tools like Linear and Jira keep doing what they are good at. Korely sits upstream of the team ticket, capturing the work as you talk to clients and read your inbox before any of it becomes a shared backlog.
