Шикарная инструкция, удобная реализация. Спасибо ### 5/5 — Fantastic to have tasks in vault and manage with TaskForge *2026-04-29, version 2.6.1* Very powerful to have tasks in my obsidian vault but manage them from taskforge on my mac, ipad, and iphone. I love having my vault as the source of truth. I can organize daily tasks as well as project tasks. works great. I sync with Syncthing and Synctrain IOS. I use rclone to back up my vault to S3. TaskForge keeps coming out with new features. ### 5/5 — GOAT task app *2026-04-27, version 2.6.1* To be blunt, my executive function is busted and my working memory is chopped; I’m a tireless seeker of better productivity tech. TaskForge (with or without obsidian) is the single most intuitive and innovative productivity engine I’ve found. Leaving public reviews is rare for me—my commitment issues go hard—yet I can’t recommend TaskForge enough. I know of no other app where a messy pile of natural language text can be tweaked in a basic obsidian note (even better, it takes seconds to have ChatGPT “optimize my projects and tasks for TaskForge”), and you end up with dozens of tasks entered into a fail-proof task management system, including properties, tags, reminders, due dates etc. That’s amazing for my poor brain. It’s not that this app is high-tech; it’s that it’s built around EXCELLENT DESIGN and elevated concepts. This app is clearly a passion project of a highly adept systems designer. Easiest 5 stars in the task mgmt space ever 🏆🙏 ### 5/5 — The Best Task Manager *2026-04-23, version 2.6.0* Does everything right: - works with popular calendars - allows an insane amount of task visual and behavior customization - doesn’t collect your data - allows buy once - own forever (even though monthly subscription is low-cost) - massive improvements each update ### 5/5 — TaskForge just keeps getting better *2026-04-21, version 2.6.0* I’ve used many good task managers in the past, but for someone steeped in the Apple ecosystem and Obsidian (the plain-text, local notes app), TaskForge is amazing. It has integrated flawlessly with my note-taking workflow while providing me with a highly flexible and customizable task management solution. The developer is passionate about his product, lightning fast responding to support questions and issues, and is pushing new features on a sustainable schedule. There are occasional bumps, but they are quickly addressed. The new calendar integration is exactly what I had been looking for, and the complete freedom to group and filter tasks by custom properties means you can adopt any task management system you please. No lock-in, highly un-opinionated … and it just keeps getting better. ### 5/5 — Makes using Obsidian as a Task Manager actually viable *2026-04-21, version 2.6.0* I could never make Obsidian work as a place to actually manage my tasks. Even with every view I could think of to mimic other task apps, it always felt clunky and I had trouble finding things I needed. This app brings all of that to the forefront. And now with the calendar support, it’s even better! I really can’t recommend this app enough. ### 5/5 — Love it. *2026-04-21, version 2.6.0* Super useful app, beautiful UI, incredible number of configuration options. The tight native integration for MacOS+iOS made this the missing piece for me to fully migrate my personal task lists off of cloud services. The dev has been super responsive to bug reports - responded same day and had a partial fix out in the next patch. What else could you ask for! ### 5/5 — Je conseille *2026-04-20* Appli super pratique, dev à l’écoute ! ### 5/5 — Pretty Sweet *2026-04-10, version 2.5.1* I’ve only been using it a couple days so far but it’s sweet. It’s the missing link in Obsidian being useful for tasks. ### 5/5 — One Day In *2026-04-03, version 2.5.1* Great so far, I will likely spend the $40 for full access if I enjoy it as much a month from now ### 5/5 — Very very very good *2026-04-01, version 2.5.1* Such a great app - I love when developers take such care to create an experience like this. Works seamlessly with Obsidian. You need it! ### 5/5 — So well done *2026-03-31, version 2.5.1* The perfect link for Obsidian Tasks. Really well done and look forward to see it grow. ### 5/5 — Excellent ! Mon avis *2026-03-23* Excellente application, c’est vraiment ce que je cherchais depuis longtemps pour avoir un vrai système de gestion de tâches connecté au système de notes Obsidian ! L’application est riche et à toutes les fonctionnalités d’une bonne application de gestion de projet et tâche! J’ai revue ma note de 4 à 5 étoiles car Développeur à l’écoute et proactif. Application vraiment géniale ! Je recommande fortement ! **Developer response:** Merci d'avoir testé TaskForge ! Je suis ravi d'apprendre que vous l'appréciez globalement. J'aimerais comprendre les problèmes que vous rencontrez. Si vous m'envoyez un e-mail à azhar@taskforge.md, je peux vous aider à les résoudre. ### 5/5 — The perfect Obsidian Companion! *2026-03-20, version 2.5.0* Finally the app we’ve all been waiting for, now we have access to true mobile notifications from our native Obsidian client. Great work on this needed app! ### 5/5 — Tasks done right *2026-03-20, version 2.5.0* I’ve used oh so many task apps in the past, and used some real good ones as well. Things 3 looks good, but is a closed basket with slow development. Todoist is decent, but dull. OmniFocus is powerful, but heavy. TaskForge is - well, its tasks done right. All tasks are in my Obsidian vault where I can access them easily, and the apps are extremely full featured. Lifetime license purchased! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — widgets *2026-04-04, version 2.5.1* No widgets without upgrading. Utterly ridiculous. Why bother making this app 'free' when everything requires upgrading to use? Zero stars. ### 1/5 — Problem on small screen *2025-11-28, version 1.19.1* Wanted to by premium to try app out but some buttons doesn’t fit the screen and I can’t proceed with purchase. Only 2 buttons visible: monthly pay, lifetime purchase. No submit or proceed button. Also can’t scroll this view nor pinch iPhone 13 mini 1 star for now, will change after bug fix so I could purchase and checkout all functionality ### 1/5 — This app was great until the latest update *2025-10-08* Changing the default to “quick add” with no option for the user to change it back is a mistake **Developer response:** Hey I hear the frustration here and sorry for any issues this caused. The latest version of the app now allows you to change this back. Always open to feedback so feel free to reach out to me via the contact form in the app if you run into any issues or have any feature requests! ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-09-28* Have to select one file rather than putting things in a folder. Also supposedly can be used as a standalone app, but requires you to connect a vault so obviously not. Useless app. **Developer response:** Hi there, newer versions of the app allow you to use task files to store your tasks. Also, you can select any folder on your device as your "vault" meaning you don't really need Obsidian at all to use it. If you're willing to give the app another try, I'd be happy to offer you a month of premium for the inconvenience as well if you email me at taskforgedev@gmail.com ### 3/5 — Great app… in a vacuum. *2026-05-09, version 2.6.1* Pros: good features, great design, ease of use(kinda), reasonable price point, does what is advertised! Cons: poor performance, kinda buggy (especially with a large vault. Even excluding 95% of the files didn’t help. Also, if you have existing tasks that aren’t using any plugins, GOOD LUCK, because the only way to kind of make it work for you is to use the custom lists, which are behind the paywall. That alone isn’t enough of an issue to justify the poor review. It’s moreso a combination of all of them. Most importantly, I don’t want to finish going through the trouble of setting it up for my workflow during the free trial, only to pay for the software and still have to wait an abysmally long time just to do anything in the app. I also have some features that if they were added and the performance was improved, I would be more than willing to pay for the full version of the app. TL;DR: the poor performance (which I think might be due to a large file count) severely outweighs any benefits for me. ### 3/5 — Great App but.. *2026-03-23, version 2.5.1* This is a fantastic app, but it’s a shame you can’t delete or edit the existing custom lists in the free version. This essentially makes the free version almost useless as the whole point for me is to organize and view my tasks. And I wish the purchase was not limited to apple devices. ### 3/5 — Almost *2025-10-11, version 1.15.0* Unfortunately it does not seem to support database format for tasks ### 4/5 — Очень удобно *2026-07-10, version 2.7.2* Все замечательно, но когда в задаче выбираешь из выпадающего списка приоритет и т. п. он скрывается за клавиатурой телефона и сама клавиатура не убирается с экрана ### 4/5 — Great app! *2026-04-22, version 2.6.0* Money well spent. App works well, dev is responsive, and it has a one-time payment option. Very happy. ### 4/5 — Workflow saver *2025-06-16, version 1.6.1* Its a relief to have found this app. Finally someone managed to give me a notification about my due tasks in obsidian and let me update tasks as soon as I open the app. I have tried to integrate obsidian with generally well integrated like ticktick, todoist and legacy ones like things, as well as new hotshots like Morgen. But the integrations have had too many downsides that did not make up for their extra features. At a one-time payment, task forge does not show you big things, it just makes obsidian work for me for task and project management in the most native way possible. I even use it to make routines the way I function. The developer has shared upfront the challenges if you use obsidian sync and I find it useful despite the issues obsidian sync presents for the functioning of this app. The developer has also been kind enough to implement some feature requests and bug fixes. I like this better than apps like ticktick that wont listen to you. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-08-04, version 2.7.6* This app keeps getting better and better I absolutely enjoy using it. Can’t wait for more calendar integrations. Looking forward to this development and its developer. ### 5/5 — Solved my problems how I was going to solve them! *2026-07-30, version 2.7.3* I use Obsidian as my note application and wanted to switch from Todoist for my task tracking to make sure I owned all my data. I knew about task notes but didn’t see a way of using obsidian to actually keep track of my tasks that worked well on mobile and could send notifications to remind me. I was planning to build an application from scratch to solve this problem, and had just made the repository when I discovered this app. It was literally just what I was about to build, already feature-rich, with solutions to things I hadn’t even yet discovered as problems! I won’t say this app is perfect, it’s still ironing out some things, but it has given me control over how I manage my todo list and is powerful enough to be able to keep up with all of the work I do. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app! *2026-07-28, version 2.7.3* I use task forge for everything and it has been a huge relief to have something so well integrated with my obsidian. Purchased it almost right away. ### 5/5 — Marvelous concept. *2026-07-02, version 2.7.0* Ease of task setup, flexible multiple ways to structure tasks, and plain text portability are strong points in this app for me. Appreciate the comprehensive app idea. ### 5/5 — my projects thank you *2026-06-08, version 2.6.1* my TODOs are everywhere. thrown around random documents or "temporary" files. despite desperately needing to, in no world was i ever going to take the time to extract them to a proper task or project management app. i've dabbled in some task plugins to collect them all before, but i also greatly value good UX and pretty UIs, and unfortunately, all-but-one case couldn't meet my expectations without heavy manual customization. and the one that did, didn't work well on mobile. i don't have to compromise anymore. especially not on mobile. 😤 and it works well enough that i've transferred all of my non-project reminders over to it as well. dev seems to be pretty responsive, too, so that's always a huge plus. the only issue i've encountered is one i was expecting and the dev spelled out up front anyway: sometimes you need to open obsidian to sync everything. it happened two times before, but hasn't since i setup an automation to open obsidian daily. i'm not concerned. tl;dr it gives a lot of the power and customizability of a task management plugin without the manual work to setup good UX and UI ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-06-05, version 2.6.1* I use the TaskNotes plugin, and this app is perfectly compatible with my setup. Premium is cheap and really worth it. Really nothing wrong with it in any way imo, I wish the best for its continued growth ### 5/5 — Well executed addition to Obsidian *2026-06-04, version 2.6.1* Task Forge is nicely done and has become my primary todo and calendar application. The author is responsive and the app clearly has potential to be a big player in the organizational management field. If you are using Obsidian this is worth evaluating. If you are using tasks in Obsidian this is pretty much essential. Strongly recommended. ### 5/5 — Incredible for organizing simple or complex workflows with ChatGPT or Claude *2026-05-25, version 2.6.1* This app may seem intimidating at first given the large number of features, so I recommend starting with the single document view. After using this for several weeks, it has massively simplified my life. Before I would use Google Calendar as my todo list and constantly need to move events/tasks. But now I can copy and paste all the tasks from obsidian onto an LLM like Claude that is connected to Google Calendar, so it can reason about it and make changes and schedule events. Highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Needs Apple Watch *2026-05-06, version 2.6.1* A watch complication would really put a bow on it. Amazing work tho! ### 5/5 — Really well done *2026-05-03, version 2.6.1* I’ve finally found the tool that naturally works the way I want to. Details of my tasks are stored with my notes making them searchable with the rest of my history. No more remembering whether it was a note or a todo! Beyond that the UI is gorgeous and well thought out! Cudos to the developer. If you already use Obsidian, TaskForge is a no brainer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
