Is KnotQ free?

Yes. KnotQ works fully offline with no account required. Optional KnotQ Sync is available across your devices.

Does KnotQ work offline?

Completely. KnotQ is local-first: your schemes, tasks, and calendar live in plain files on your device and work without an internet connection. Optional sync is available when you want it.

Is sync available?

Yes. KnotQ Sync keeps an entitled account’s workspace in step across desktop, iOS, and Android, while every app remains fully usable offline.

What is a local-first planner?

A local-first planner stores your data on your own device first, rather than on someone else’s server. KnotQ keeps your notes, tasks, deadlines, and calendar as plain files you own, so the app stays fast, private, and available offline.

How does KnotQ turn notes into a calendar?

KnotQ is built on schemes — markdown-style documents. Add a start date, an end date, or both to any line and it becomes a calendar item: an event, an assignment, or a reminder. Everything you schedule shows up in one week view.

Can I import my Google Calendar?

Yes. KnotQ can import your Google Calendar read-only and merge it into the same week view as your plans, so you see meetings, classes, and self-scheduled tasks together.

Which platforms does KnotQ support?

KnotQ runs on iOS, Android, macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, and Linux. Optional sync works across your signed-in devices.
