Extract text from Sciral Consistency documents (CONSIS)
To convert CONSIS documents to another format, you need Sciral Consistency or other Data software.
To convert other file formats to the "Task Tracking Document" file type, you need software like Sciral Consistency or a similar tool.
The .CONSIS file format is a proprietary data document created by Sciral Consistency, a legacy task-tracking application for Windows and macOS. It was primarily used to store a color-coded matrix of flexible, recurring tasks (like doing chores or exercising) over a calendar grid.
Because the software has been discontinued, the .consis format is essentially a dead end. The file is highly proprietary and lacks native support on modern operating systems or web browsers. You cannot open it directly in Microsoft Excel, nor can you seamlessly import it into modern productivity apps like Todoist or Notion. Users who want to recover years of habit-tracking history often find themselves locked out of their own data.
Converting the file to standard formats like CSV, TXT, or PDF is highly recommended to ensure the data remains human-readable and future-proof. Be aware that the native color-coding and custom 'target ranges' may be lost during the text extraction process.
This file format is exceptionally difficult to open because it relies on Sciral's unique internal scheduling algorithm, meaning only the original discontinued software can properly render the visual matrix.

The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our CONSIS converter.
