OTask: Task Widgets

Your tasks already live in your notes. OTask doesn't move them, copy them or ask you to keep a second list. It puts them where you'll see them, so you get them done. Other apps replace Obsidian with their own task manager. OTask is the opposite: Obsidian stays where you plan and write, and OTask is the tappable layer on top. Every change is an ordinary edit to your Markdown, so your notes, plugins and queries keep working. WIDGETS YOU CAN USE, NOT JUST LOOK AT • Tap a circle to complete a task. • Tap a task to move it to today, tomorrow or next week, cancel it, or open its note in Obsidian. • Every change can be undone from the widget for a minute. • Tap the view's name to step through your other views. • Small, medium, large and extra large on Mac, iPhone and iPad. Extra large shows two views side by side. • On iPhone, Lock Screen widgets show what's due without unlocking, and a Control Center button starts a new task. VIEWS THAT READ LIKE SENTENCES Build views from plain conditions: "Due date is between today and in a week", "Tags don't include #someday". Combine them with all, any or none; sort and group by date, note, folder, heading, priority or tag. Or paste a Tasks plugin query. CAPTURE IN PLAIN WORDS Type "Renew registration fri #errands !high" and OTask fills in the due date, tag and priority. You see the exact line it will write, and where: today's daily note after your chosen heading, or an inbox note. SHARE IT, AND IT'S A TASK • Share a page from Safari and OTask makes it a task linked to that page, named after it. • Share selected text from any app, including an email, and it becomes the task's words. • On the Mac, choose New Task while an email is selected in Mail: the task is named after it and links back to that email. Or drag a message in. • Add a date, tag or priority before you save, just as in quick capture. FAITHFUL TO YOUR MARKDOWN • Reads and writes both the Tasks plugin's emoji dates and Dataview fields ([due:: 2026-10-15]), task by task. • Completing adds the done date; cancelling marks the task cancelled, as the Tasks plugin does. • Recurring tasks (every week, every month on the 1st, every weekday, when done) create their next occurrence. • Honors the Tasks plugin's global filter, and only looks in the folders you choose. • If a task was edited since OTask last read it, OTask refuses the change rather than guessing. AT HOME ON THE MAC OTask lives in the menu bar, starts at login and watches your vault, so widgets update within a second of an edit in Obsidian. Press Command-N from the menu for quick capture. SETTINGS THAT TRAVEL WITH YOUR VAULT Views, capture settings and scope are saved in your vault, so every Mac, iPhone and iPad that opens it sees the same setup. Text size and row counts stay per device. FREE TO TRY, ONE SUBSCRIPTION FOR EVERY DEVICE OTask is free to download, and setting up your vault, views and quick capture are free. The widgets come with OTask Yearly, which starts with a free week and covers your Mac, iPhone and iPad. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free week ends. The subscription renews yearly unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://clusterflux.io/otask/privacy/ PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no server, no sync service of our own. OTask reads the folder you choose and nothing else. Your vault syncs however it already does: iCloud Drive, Obsidian Sync or anything else. No data is collected. GOOD TO KNOW • OTask works with any folder of Markdown files; Obsidian itself doesn't need to be installed for the widgets to work. • On the Mac, widget taps are saved by OTask's menu bar app, so keep it running (it starts at login by default). • On iPhone and iPad, iOS decides how often widgets refresh; opening OTask refreshes them immediately.
