From reviews on the App Store and Google Play
“It's the missing link in Obsidian being useful for tasks.”
“Such a great app - I love when developers take such care to create an experience like this. Works seamlessly with Obsidian. You need it!”
“Calendar integration is the killer feature that I've been looking for for decades. This app does it right. Fantastic!”
What a day with TaskForge looks like
Capture in seconds
Quick-add parses dates, priorities, and tags as you type, then writes the task into your vault as a markdown line. 'Call the plumber tomorrow' arrives with tomorrow's date already set.
Plan your day
Lay tasks out on a calendar or a kanban board. Drag one to Thursday and the date changes inside the underlying file, in exactly the syntax the Obsidian Tasks plugin expects.
Stay on track
Open any task to set its due date, a reminder, and a priority. Every change writes straight back to the markdown line, so the file and the app never drift apart.
It's all just markdown
Open the file behind any task and edit it by hand. There's no database and nothing to export: stop using TaskForge tomorrow and your tasks are still sitting in your notes, plain as ever.
Your AI already speaks markdown.
Point Claude, or any agent that can edit files, at your vault and it can add, complete, and reschedule tasks directly. No plugin, no API: the file is the interface, and TaskForge picks up every change the moment it's saved.

Your AI already knows how to use it
TaskForge tasks are markdown lines in files on your device. Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any tool that can edit text can add tasks, complete them, and plan your week. There is no connector to set up and no API key, and nothing leaves your machine. A command line tool and a local MCP server ship with TaskForge 3.0.

Built on the Obsidian Tasks format
TaskForge reads and writes the same syntax as the Obsidian Tasks plugin: due dates, scheduled dates, priorities, recurrence, even custom statuses. Point it at your existing vault and your tasks appear exactly as they are.

Nothing to import and nothing to migrate. Edits made in Obsidian show up in TaskForge the moment the file is saved, and the other way around.
