tagwerk manual

What tagwerk is

tagwerk runs your day on one page. Every day is one Markdown file: what you write, the tasks you tick off and the appointments you keep stand in it as lines of text. The app reads those lines and builds the rest from them - the task list across all days, the calendar, the statistics.

The files are yours. They lie in a folder you choose, readable in any text editor, and they travel to your other devices through your own cloud or a sync tool you already use. tagwerk has no account and no server of its own.

The chapters

Using tagwerk

• Getting startedInstall tagwerk on Android, Windows or Linux, find out where your notes are stored, learn the screen and write your first day.
• The day noteWrite in the note of a day, move between days, format text, divide a day into sections, link to web pages, days and files, and get back an earlier state.
• TasksHow to write a task, tick it off, move it to another day or drop it - in the note, in the task form and in the task list across all days.
• Appointments and repeatsHow a time at the start of a line makes an appointment, how the repeat marker makes appointments and tasks come back, and how to call off, move or end a single occurrence or a whole series.
• CalendarThe calendar draws your appointments and timed tasks as a day, a week, a month or an agenda - straight from the lines in your notes.
• RemindersA notification before an appointment or a task with a time - with the C/ marker or for every line with a time, from every profile, with buttons in the notification and a sound of its own per profile on Android.
• Tags, people and searchMark lines with #tags and @people, record readings such as #weight:81.4, see everything about one tag or person in one place, and find any line across all your days.
• Profiles and storageKeep separate profiles with their own folder and sync, decide where your notes are stored, link other folders for [[Note]] links, export your notes and get back earlier states.
• Widgets and sharing (Android)Put today's tasks and appointments on the Android home screen, act on a task from the widget, capture a new task with one tap, and share text from other apps into today's note.

Sync and servers

• SyncHow tagwerk keeps your notes on several devices - with the built-in WebDAV sync or a folder of your own - and what to do when a sync stops or two devices disagree.
• Sync serversWhat tagwerk's built-in sync needs from a WebDAV server, which address to enter for each kind of server, and how to find out why a connection fails.

Pro, settings and help

• Pro and licenceWhat is free in tagwerk, what tagwerk Pro adds, how to get it on each platform, and how the licence file reaches your other devices.
• Settings and keyboard shortcutsEvery setting on the settings page - what it does, what it offers, what it starts as and where it exists - and every keyboard shortcut of the app.
• Troubleshooting and FAQAnswers to common questions, where tagwerk writes its log and how to read it, and how to report a bug so it can be fixed.

Where else to look

• The guides take one kind of work each - freelancing, school, measurements, one-on-ones - and walk it through.
• The format specification is every rule of the file format, written from the parser. Read it if you are writing a tool of your own or want to know exactly what a line means.
• Bugs and wishes go to the issue tracker.
