Day Exports

The day view (/day) has two export buttons in its header, next to the date. Both produce a one-way, read-only snapshot of the day — neither is meant to be edited and re-imported (compare Import from Markdown, which is a project-level, round-trip feature).

Export .md

Downloads a plain markdown checklist of the day currently being viewed (works on any date, not just today), split into Incomplete / Done / Archived sections:

# Monday, November 10, 2025

## Incomplete
* Buy milk
* Call dentist

## Done
* Morning workout

This is a fixed snapshot: it doesn’t reflect the on-page sort order or the text filter box, and it always includes all three sections regardless of what’s expanded on screen.

Export PDF

Downloads a printable checklist of today’s incomplete tasks — taskfiend-day-YYYY-MM-DD.pdf — meant to be printed, folded down to pocket size, and marked up with a highlighter through the day instead of checking the app on your phone.

• Today only. Other days aren’t supported: a future day can have recurring tasks that are anticipated for that date but don’t exist as real task rows yet, which this export has no way to represent.
• Mirrors what’s on screen. Unlike Export .md, this respects the day view’s current sort order and its on-page text filter box — filter the list down to #errands first, and the PDF only contains those tasks. The filter/sort in effect (if not the defaults) is printed at the top of the page as a plain reminder of how the list was narrowed.
• Always incomplete tasks only, regardless of any status filter that happens to be active on screen — this export is a to-do list, not an archive.
• Layout: a two-column list on a US Letter page — task time (if it has one) in a narrow gutter on the left, a divider line under each row instead of a bullet or checkbox — sized so that folding the sheet in half twice gets it down to roughly pocket size. The idea is to cross off or highlight items by hand and throw the sheet away at the end of the day, not to bring it back into the app.
• Fills column 1 completely before starting column 2. If everything fits in one column, the second column is intentionally left blank rather than splitting the list evenly across both — this keeps the reading order predictable when you’re working through the page top to bottom.
• The button is disabled whenever there’s nothing to export (an empty list, or a filter that matches nothing).

Limitations

Task names are rendered in a standard PDF font (Helvetica) with no embedded fonts, so characters outside basic Latin — emoji, CJK, and similar — won’t render correctly in the PDF. Plain-text task titles are unaffected.
