Designed for the Linux Desktop
TaskForge for Linux is being planned with the diversity of the Linux ecosystem in mind. Whether you run a mainstream distribution or a niche one, our goal is to provide a consistent and reliable experience for managing your Obsidian tasks.
Distribution Support
We are aiming to support a wide range of Linux distributions from the start. We're exploring multiple packaging formats to make installation straightforward, regardless of which distribution you prefer.
- Ubuntu and Debian-based distributions via .deb packages
- Fedora, openSUSE, and RPM-based distributions via .rpm packages
- Arch Linux and Manjaro via AUR or pre-built packages
- Distribution-agnostic formats including AppImage and Flatpak
- Snap package support is also being considered for broader reach
Desktop Environment Integration
We're planning to integrate with the desktop environments Linux users rely on every day. TaskForge is expected to feel native whether you use GNOME, KDE Plasma, or another environment, with support for system themes, tray icons, and notification systems.
- GNOME integration with system notifications and shell extensions
- KDE Plasma support with widgets and system tray functionality
- Lightweight desktop compatibility for Xfce, LXQt, and similar environments
- System theme support so TaskForge matches your desktop appearance
- XDG standards compliance for file paths, autostart, and desktop entries
Planned Linux Features
Beyond standard task management, we're planning features that take advantage of the Linux desktop to help you manage Obsidian tasks efficiently.
- Command-line interface for scripting and automation workflows
- Configurable keyboard shortcuts for fast task management without a mouse
- System tray integration for quick access to upcoming tasks and reminders
- Local-first storage with direct access to your Obsidian vault on the filesystem
- Lightweight resource footprint designed to run well alongside Obsidian and other apps
