To-dos
The tasks hiding in your notes, collected in one place.
Meetings end with promises: "I'll send the draft Friday," "Can you check with legal?" After a note is transcribed, Oak Note reads the transcript, spots those commitments, and turns them into to-dos you can track.
The To-Dos tab gathers to-dos from every note in one list, so you don't have to reopen last week's meetings to remember what you owe. You can also add standalone tasks that aren't tied to any note. Extracted and hand-made to-dos live side by side.
Working with a to-do
Tap a to-do to open it. From there you can edit the title into your own wording, set a due date and priority, complete it, or reopen it if you checked it off too soon.
Two ways to get rid of one:
- Dismiss: for an extracted to-do that isn't really a task.
- Delete: remove it entirely.
When Oak Note knows who a speaker is, a to-do can be assigned to the person who took it on.
Tracing a to-do back
Every extracted to-do keeps a link to the exact transcript passage it came from. Open the to-do, tap the source excerpt, and Oak Note opens the note at that spot, where you can jump the audio there to hear the moment it was said.
This is the fastest way to resolve a vague task. "Follow up on the vendor thing" makes a lot more sense when you can replay the thirty seconds where it was discussed. Standalone tasks you create by hand have no source trace, since there's no note behind them.
When extraction misses or overshoots
Extraction is good, not perfect. If a real task wasn't picked up, add it yourself. If an extracted to-do isn't really a task, dismiss it. If the wrong person got it, open the to-do and change who it's assigned to.
Oak Note doesn't connect to external task managers yet. To-dos live inside Oak Note; use export to share notes with other tools. See Home.
