About this app

TaskForge is a powerful task management app for Obsidian users that functions as a specialized file manager for your Markdown task documents. It provides comprehensive access to your Obsidian vaults and task files stored anywhere on your device.

Perfect for:
- Obsidian users who manage tasks in their notes and vaults
- Task management across multiple Markdown files and folders
- Professional workflows requiring seamless Obsidian integration
- Users who need mobile access to their Obsidian task system
- Anyone managing tasks in Markdown files across device storage

Key Features:

āœ… Comprehensive Task Management
- Automatically finds and displays all checkbox tasks from your Obsidian vault
- Create, edit, and complete tasks directly in your Markdown files
- Advanced filtering, custom lists, and powerful task organization
- Supports Obsidian task format with dates, priorities, tags, and recurring tasks
- Real-time synchronization with your desktop Obsidian workflow

šŸ“ Vault & File System Integration
- Direct access to your Obsidian vault folder anywhere on device storage
- High-performance processing of thousands of Markdown files to identify tasks
- Real-time file change monitoring when you edit files in Obsidian or other apps
- Direct write-back to original files when creating or updating tasks
- Works with Documents, Downloads, external storage, and sync folders
- Seamless integration with any sync solution (Syncthing, FolderSync, Google Drive, Dropbox, iCloud)

šŸ” Advanced Task Organization
- Custom lists and tags for task grouping
- Due dates with time support and start/scheduled dates
- Powerful search and multi-condition filtering
- Recurring tasks with flexible scheduling

šŸ“± Mobile-First Features
- iOS widgets for quick task access
- Smart notifications for due tasks
- Cross-device sync via iCloud (iOS/iPadOS/macOS)
- Works 100% offline after initial vault setup

How It Works:
1. Point TaskForge to your Obsidian vault folder on your device
2. The app scans your vault and discovers all task-containing Markdown files
3. Manage your tasks on mobile - all changes sync directly back to your vault files
4. Real-time file monitoring keeps tasks synchronized when you edit files in Obsidian
5. Your existing sync solution keeps everything coordinated across devices

File System Requirements:
TaskForge requires comprehensive file system access to function as your Obsidian task manager. The app must:
• Read contents of files in user-selected folders (outside app storage) across your device
• Process up to thousands of Markdown files efficiently to identify and extract tasks
• Write back to original files when users create or update tasks
• Monitor files for real-time changes to display the most current task state

This file management capability is essential for maintaining seamless synchronization with your Obsidian workflow and ensuring tasks stay current across all your devices and applications.

Note: While optimized for Obsidian vaults, TaskForge works with any Markdown task files stored anywhere on your device.

Just what I needed. Beautiful UI compared to similar apps and it's much more integrated with tasks than markor or other markdown editors Free tier not being able to use widgets is annoying though, I would have at least wanted to see how my tasks would look in the widget before having to purchase it. On that note - premium pricing is extremely reasonable, keep this pricing model for sure

Unfortunately, permissions are too broad. On first use, "Allow access to manage all files" I'd only like to allow access to the vault directory, that I specify. I'd love to try this app out one day!

I appreciate your concern about permissions. TaskForge needs "All Files" access to match Obsidian's requirements and ensure optimal performance across all vault locations. However, we only read/write files in your specified vault directory - nothing else. We'd love to have you try TaskForge and welcome your feedback!

This app is getting a lot right - configurable views of existing obsidian tasks, and the ability to tick them off and create new ones. Looks are ok but I'd prefer Android/Material theming (also in progress isn't distinguished from to do). It's irritating that you have to open obsidian to trigger obsidian sync; it would be nice if the configurable task lists just understood the same commands as the tasks plugin, for an exact match of lists. Pricing is high, but I paid to encourage development.
