Agenda, reminders & tables
Give to-dos dates and repeats, get reminded, subscribe in your calendar, edit tables like a spreadsheet, and turn notes into tables with properties and queries.
Dates on to-dos
Type @ after a to-do and a date in words, and pick the suggestion:
@tomorrow 3pm,@fri,@next monday,@in 2 weeks- Chinese works too:
@明天 9点,@周五,@11月20日
The note keeps plain Markdown, the format of Obsidian's Tasks plugin:
- [ ] Pay rent 📅 2026-11-15 18:00 🔁 every month
- [ ] Book a check-up 📅 2026-11-20
You can also use the 📅 button in the toolbar (⌘⇧D / Ctrl+Shift+D), or click a date chip, to set the date, time and repeat (every day, weekday, week, 2 weeks, month or year).
Checking a dated to-do records the day it was done; a repeating one adds its next occurrence above.
Agenda
Agenda in the navigation at the bottom left (a calendar icon; the number is today's and overdue to-dos) lists the open dated to-dos of all notes as a tree, like your notes:
- Overdue
- one branch per day for the coming week: "Today · Mon, Nov 9", "Tomorrow · Tue, Nov 10", "Thu, Nov 12"
- then by month: "Later this month", "December", "January 2027"
Overdue, today and tomorrow start open, the rest folded, and your choice is remembered. Check to-dos off right there, or click one to jump to its line; arrow keys move, Enter opens, Space checks off. The mobile apps open the agenda from the library menu, with the same branches.
Reminders
- Web and desktop: while the app is open, a system notification appears when a to-do is due. Date-only to-dos remind at the time set in Settings → Reminders & calendar (9:00 by default, or never).
- iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android: the apps remind you even when they are closed.
- Calendar subscription: create a link in Settings → Reminders & calendar and add it to your iPhone, Mac, Google or Outlook calendar, which then reminds you. The link is the key: do not share it.
To-dos in password-protected notes never appear in the agenda, reminders or calendars.
Editing tables
Type /table, pick the size on the grid and press Enter. Then edit it like a spreadsheet:
- Click a cell and type. Tab goes to the next cell (Tab in the last one adds a row), Shift+Tab back, Enter down, the arrows between cells, Esc out of the table.
- Add rows and columns with the + below and to the right of the table.
- More: the ⋯ on the cell you are editing, or a right-click, inserts, moves and deletes rows and columns, sets alignment and sorts by the column.
- Quick sums: click a cell, then Shift-click another; the corner shows the sum, average and count of the range (¥, $, % and thousands separators understood). "Sum column" in the menu selects the whole column.
Tables are saved as standard Markdown with aligned columns, so they read well in any editor. In source mode, Tab in a table aligns it and moves to the next cell too. Merged cells and line breaks inside cells are not supported.
Properties and note queries
Give notes properties at the top:
---
amount: 128.5
status: open
date: 2026-11-05
---
and list them as a table from any note:
```ivy-query
from: Expenses
where: amount > 100
show: date, amount, status
sort: date desc
```
from takes notebooks (with their sub-notebooks) or #tags; each where line is one condition with =, !=, >, <, >=, <= or ~ (contains); today means today. Number columns get totals here too. Query results show in the web and desktop apps.
