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.
