Openza Tasks

Export to Markdown

Export all your tasks to a human-readable markdown file for archiving, sharing, or migrating to other tools.

Export Format

Tasks are exported in organized markdown format:

  • Grouped by project for easy navigation
  • Checkbox syntax (- [ ] for open, - [x] for completed)
  • Task details including priority, due dates, and labels
  • Separate sections for projects and labels
