Format

Symbols are used to control task statuses. Add one at the beginning of a line to update it ⤵️

• - : a simple text
• - ☐: an idle task
• - ▶: a started task
• - ✔: a completed task

Mindo uses indentation to organize tasks: adding 2 more spaces than the parent task creates a new section in the mindmap preview
