Migrate Incomplete Tasks

Ever have tasks left over from yesterday (or last week) that still need doing? Octarine's task migration feature lets you move all those unfinished tasks to today's note with a single click, so nothing falls through the cracks.

How It Works

When you open today's daily note, Octarine scans your notes from the last 7 days looking for incomplete tasks. If it finds any, a "Migrate Incomplete Tasks" button appears in the breadcrumb. Click it, and those tasks move to today's note—simple as that.

Using Task Migration

The feature works automatically in the background. You don't need to set anything up—just open today's daily note and if there are incomplete tasks from the past week, the migration button will be there waiting for you. It even tells you which date the tasks are coming from, so you have context.

Here's what happens when you click that button:

Octarine moves all incomplete tasks to today's note at your cursor position, so you won't accidentally overwrite anything. It adds a little note above the tasks saying "Migrated from [date]" so you know where they came from. The tasks are removed from their original date, and the front-matter metadata gets updated to track the migration.

Creating Tasks

Want to make sure your tasks are tracked for migration? Just create them using either the [ ] checkbox syntax or the / command menu and select "Task." Any task created this way gets automatically tracked, so it'll show up for migration if you don't complete it.
