Annado

Annado is a calm, keyboard-first task manager for macOS that lives in your Obsidian vault. Every task is a plain Markdown checkbox in files you already own, meaning : no database, no account, no lock-in. Open the same vault in Obsidian and your tasks are right there.

Highlights

• Plain text underneath — standard - [ ] checkboxes with readable inline metadata (@when(tomorrow), @due(…), #tags, [[Project]] links); two-way live sync with your vault
• Natural language dates in English and Dutch — "next weekend", "in three weeks", "eind van de maand" — plus date hints in task titles ("Call Lena friday" → scheduled, title cleaned)
• Agenda time-blocking — drag tasks onto a day/week timeline; auto-scheduling respects your work hours, breaks, and macOS Calendar events
• Structure that scales — projects with milestones, people, colored tags, smart lists, recurring tasks
• Stay on track — guided weekly review, deadline notifications, a menu bar quick panel, system-wide Quick Add (⌘⇧Space)
• Wrapped — your week, month, or year in review, told in slides

Install

1. Download Annado_0.1.0_aarch64.dmg below (Apple Silicon)
2. Open it and drag Annado to Applications
3. First launch: right-click Annado.app → Open → Open (the app isn't notarized yet, so macOS asks once)
4. If that doesn't work because it tells you the App is Damaged, that's not true, but the combination of 'from the internet' + 'not notarized' means that the app is seen as 'damaged'. Going into terminal and running :
   xattr -cr /Applications/Annado.app
   should resolve this.
5. Point Annado at your Obsidian vault — that's the whole setup

Good to know

• macOS only, Apple Silicon build
• Your data never leaves your Mac — Annado reads and writes Markdown files in your vault, nothing else
• This is a 0.1: expect rough edges.
