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
Reminders, home screen widgets, and an app badge you control. Check a task off from the widget and the x lands in your markdown before you’ve put the phone down.
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.

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.

- Kanban boards Drag-and-drop columns with custom grouping, built straight from the markdown in your vault.
- Calendar Day, Week, and Month views with your tasks and device calendar events side by side.
- TaskNotes support Use the one-note-per-task TaskNotes plugin format, custom YAML properties included.
- Deep linking A URL scheme for automation: create tasks and open lists from Shortcuts, Raycast, Alfred, or Tasker.
