+How to Use PlainTasks:
+
+Projects:
+ ☐ Anything with colon at the end of the line is a project title
+ ☐ You can nest projects inside each other
+ ☐ You can fold projects (a built-in editor feature)
+
+Tasks:
+  You can write plain text as notes or descriptions wherever you want;
+  it's totally fine!
+  New:
+   ☐ Press ⌘+enter (ctrl+enter on Windows) to add a new task.
+   ☐ You can also use ⌘+i (ctrl+i on Windows) to add new task
+   ☐ If you're on a new line PlainTasks will create a new task on the current line
+   ☐ If you're on a line with a task pressing new task shortcut will add a task after it
+   ☐ If you're on a line with some normal text pressing new task shortcut will convert it to a task
+   ☐ New tasks will be nested as much as the task on the previous line
+  Done:
+   ☐ Pressing ⌘+D (ctrl+d on Windows) mark a task as done
+   ☐ Pressing ⌘+D (ctrl+d on Windows) again will put it back in pending mode
+  Tagging:
+   ☐ You can add tags using @ sign, like this @tag
+
+  Archiving:
+   ☐ Pressing ⌘+shift+A (ctrl+shift+A on Windows) will archive the done task.
+      By removing them from your list and appending them to the bottom of the file under Archive project.
+      The archive project is separated from the other list of projects with a line. see bottom of this file.
