Knotpad

Knotpad lets you draft project plans in plain-text notes and have AI agents automatically turn checkboxes into tracked tasks across Kanban boards, calendars, and dashboards. It works locally with MCP-native agents like Claude or Cursor and keeps your data on-device with optional encrypted sync. MCP Server — Built-in & Cloud-hosted Knotpad exposes a full Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Connect any MCP-compatible tool so your agent can become a project partner: - Auto-discovers workspaces (TEAM vs PERSONAL) and team member handles - Pulls project goals, specs, and vision notes to instantly align the agent before it touches anything - Searches and reads note contents across the entire workspace - Automatically constructs folders and moves notes to organize projects dynamically - Appends progress updates or fully rewrites prose — honoring user-defined note permissions - Claim tasks to lock them and avoid team or multi-agent conflicts - Transition tasks across open → in_progress → review → done - Return tasks to the open queue with detailed logs if blocked - Updates priorities, due dates, and assignees directly on the task line without altering adjacent prose - Assign tasks to team memebers. - Reads related refrenced notes or task - Parses file paths , priorities and date ranges straight from text Key Features - Note-first workflow — checkboxes become real tracked tasks automatically - Six views — Notes, Kanban, List, Calendar, Graph, Dashboard - Local-first by default — fully offline, your machine, your data - Cloud sync optional — AES-256 encrypted, never stored in plaintext - Team workspaces — owner pays per seat, teammates join free - Cloud-only notes — access revoked instantly when a member leaves - Multi-agent support — multiple agents work the same workspace without collisions - Cross-platform — macOS (Homebrew), Windows (.msi), Linux (.AppImage) - Auto-updater built in via Tauri
