TaskPaper will remember documents that are open when you quit, and restore them when you next open TaskPaper.
This feature requires that you quit TaskPaper with open documents. If you close the documents first, and then quit TaskPaper it won’t work.
If this feature doesn’t seem to be working make sure that System Preferences > General > Close windows when quitting an app is not checked.
If you prefer some apps to remember their open documents, and other apps to forget, you can set this setting on individual apps as described in this article:

in the Terminal after quitting TaskPaper. I reopened TP, pulled up a file, exited, reopened TP, and it doesn’t seem to work. I am running FoldingText 2.2 and Sierra 10.12.
If you’re like me you keep on accidentally closing the window using command-w instead of hitting quit…therefore needing to locate and re-open your tasks list.
Turns out, you can override that key command on a per-app basis by doing these steps:
From the Apple menu in the top left corner of the screen, select System Preferences.
Click on Keyboard then Keyboard Shortcuts.
Choose Application Shortcuts".
Click the + button to add a new shortcut
Select TaskPaper as the application and for the command type “Close”.
Select a new keyboard shortcut…I used command-shift-W.
Boom, now you won’t accidentally close the window with a key command instead of hitting quit.
