Todo

Keep a todo list alongside your files, and on top while you work.

Todo lists live next to your files

A todo list is just a .todo file, opened with the same lightweight editor used for comments. Save it directly inside a project folder so it stays right next to the files it's tracking.

Checklists

Use the checklist tool in the toolbar to add checkbox items; checking an item off simply toggles it, using plain - [ ] / - [x] Markdown under the hood.

Creating a daily todo automatically

Set up a New++ template with a name like Daily todo $MM-$DD-$YYYY.todo so a fresh, correctly dated todo file is one click away every day.

Keeping it on top

Like comments, todo windows have a pin button to keep your list visible while you work in other applications.
