  1. View and edit your org mode tasks while on the go.
    Plain text can be super versatile (task-tracking and note-taking are great examples), but equally important are the guarantees that your content is truly yours (no lock-in). With all these plain text posts surfacing regularly, I'd love for the lesser-known org markup (https://orgmode.org) to gain more adoption. It's a real power-house. Its Emacs origin may put some off, but it's plain text, so your content can be ingested/consumed by either regular text editors or any app focusing on specific user-journeys.

    Logseq is a local-first, non-linear, outliner notebook for organizing and sharing your personal knowledge base.

    @luxpir mentioned Obsidian in another comment [1] and it might be what you are looking for, in particular with a community plugin called Obsidian Dataview [2]. Dataview uses JavaScript as a query language and can query the Obsidian "vault" and create different views. Another tool to look at is Logseq [3], which is essentially an outliner (supports both MarkDown and Org syntax), but supports a rather simplistic TODO management system. The benefit here is exactly what you describe—as you work in Logseq, you can create Todos, thereby connecting the task to the related source and any context that surrounds the todo. Furthermore, Logseq also allows for queries [4], allowing you to query your "knowledge graph", which you can embed in other pages. Both Obsidian and Logseq store your files locally, so they can be easily version-controlled (In fact, Logseq routines commits your files for you).

    Pricing:
    • Open Source
    > At the bottom of which are all the tasks in daily notes, generated by an inline script, another dynamic list of tasks for my freelance work. Interesting, based on what do you generate these tasks? How does the dynamic list work in your use case? We're thinking about building something similar for https://acreom.com as a plugin but likely easier to setup (no-code).
