Copy your list to clipboard
In the desktop app, press Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows) while no text is selected to copy your current view as a Markdown checklist.
The output looks like this:
# Next
- [ ] Write weekly report (Work) (due: 2026-04-01)
- [ ] Send invoice
- [x] Review pull request (Dev)
Each task appears as a Markdown checkbox. Completed tasks show as - [x]. If a task belongs to a project, the project name appears in parentheses. Due dates and start dates are included where set.
Copy just specific tasks
Select the tasks you want first, then press Cmd + C / Ctrl + C. Only the highlighted tasks will be copied — no heading or grouping.
Good to know
- This works in any list view: Next, Focus, a project, a tag view, etc.
- Paste directly into Notion, Obsidian, Apple Notes, a document, or an AI chat.
- If you have text selected on the page (e.g. inside the AI panel), the standard browser copy runs instead.
