A day with TaskForge.

Write a note, plan around your calendar, or capture a task before you forget it.

Notes

Edit headings, lists and tasks in the same Markdown note. Open a daily note in any workspace.

Kitchen.md open in TaskForge, headings and task lines together.

Calendar

View iCloud, Google or Exchange events beside your tasks. Rescheduling a task changes its date in the file.

The month, then the day: tasks and events in one agenda.

Capture

Add or find tasks and notes in one bar. Dates, priorities and tags are read as you type.

"Tomorrow" read as a date while you type.

Widgets

See your spaces on the home screen, with reminders from the dates in your files.

Today and Month on the home screen.

Spaces and calendar widgets, reminders, custom spaces and kanban boards, and calendar event editing need Premium. Tasks, notes and calendar viewing are free.

Built on the Obsidian Tasks format.

TaskForge is a native app for Obsidian task management. Open your existing vault alongside the Obsidian Tasks plugin, with no migration. It reads emoji and Dataview keyword fields, and writes back to the same Markdown lines in the format your vault is set to. Due dates, priorities and recurring tasks stay readable in Obsidian.

TaskNotes tasks stay in their own notes, with properties in YAML frontmatter.

Your AI already speaks Markdown.

An agent with file access can add, complete or reschedule tasks in your vault. TaskForge sees a saved change on the same device; other devices see it after your vault syncs. TaskForge includes a command line tool and local MCP server.

Your agent may send the files it reads to its own provider. Its network use and privacy settings are separate from TaskForge.

TaskForge is not affiliated with Obsidian, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Apple Shortcuts or Raycast.
