A real to-do list and task manager on every screen you use: iPhone, iPad and Mac. Widgets, notifications, a month calendar with your own events beside your tasks, kanban, search, and your notes in the same app. "After trying many apps and workflows, this is the first one that actually stuck and made me productive!" (user review) Works with your vault Reads and writes Obsidian Tasks emoji fields, Dataview fields, Task Genius and TaskNotes YAML frontmatter with your own field mapping. Every edit goes back to the original file. Home Screen widgets Today, overdue, a tag, a saved filter or any section of a space, in every size up to XL. Check a task off without opening the app. iPhone, iPad and Mac. Notifications and reminders Push notifications for due and scheduled work, several reminders on one task, and a daily summary. Calendar, built in Your device calendars (iCloud, Google, Exchange) sit beside your tasks in the month view, in spaces and in widgets. Events come from those calendars, not from files. Notes and daily notes Open, read and edit any note in your vault, next to the tasks inside it. Every workspace gets a daily note, one tap from search or the calendar agenda. Lists, kanban and search Spaces that stack task and event sections. Custom filtered lists, a kanban board with drag and drop, tags, contexts, projects, priorities, recurring tasks, and start, scheduled and due dates. Search and multi-condition filters across the whole vault. Archive completed tasks instead of deleting them. Quick capture Type a task the way you would say it and TaskForge fills in the date, priority and tag. Optional tools for your AI agent Use your own AI agent to turn meeting notes into tasks or update your task list. TaskForge generates a guide to your folder's format. The free taskforge desktop CLI and local MCP server, installed separately on your computer, give compatible agents tools to read and edit tasks and notes. These tools run locally without network access. They do not include an AI assistant or subscription. Your chosen AI provider's account requirements and data handling still apply. Privacy No TaskForge account, no analytics. Tasks and notes work offline. TaskForge does not upload your task or note files to its own servers. External sync and AI services handle data under their own terms.

【GoalFeed - See Your Goals Moving Forward】 Have you ever felt like this? · You complete lots of todos every day, yet your long-term goals seem to make no real progress. · You make plenty of plans, only to abandon them halfway or forget about them entirely. · You stay busy all the time, but you're not sure whether you're actually moving toward your goals. · Your task list keeps growing, gradually becoming a source of stress and anxiety. Most Todo apps focus on one thing: Was the task completed? [Not Completed] → [Completed] GoalFeed focuses on something different: Is the goal moving forward? [Progress Today] → [Progress Today] → [No Progress Today] → [Progress Today] → ... → Completed! 【Record Progress, Not Just Check Off Tasks】 Long-term goals are rarely completed in a single day, whether it's finishing a book, building a product, learning a new skill, or improving your health. With GoalFeed, you can record how a goal progresses across different days. Even when a goal is not yet completed, you can still capture the actions, efforts, reflections, and progress you've made along the way. Because completion is the destination. Progress is the journey. 【AI-Powered Growth Review】 As your records grow over time, looking back becomes increasingly difficult. GoalFeed provides: · Visual Analytics Dashboard · Random Review Cards · Historical Search Helping you rediscover the progress and growth that are often overlooked. GoalFeed is not just another Todo List. It helps you record actions, capture reflections, and continuously review your journey, so you can see your long-term goals moving forward. Because many times, what people lack is not effort. It's the ability to see that they're making progress.
