Task management for the Obsidian knowledge base. With SQL Powers
This is a fork of the Tasks plugin for obsidian and will be kept in sync with it where possible. This for provides extended query capabilities and long term should be merged back into the main plugin. Until then enjoy the power of SQL.
Here are some examples of what can be done with this plugin:
WHERE status->indicator = ' ' AND moment()->[format]('YYYY-MM-DD') = moment(dueDate)->[format]('YYYY-MM-DD')
WHERE status->indicator = ' ' AND moment(dueDate)->isBetween(moment()->startOf('day').subtract(1, 'days'), moment()->startOf('day').add(14, 'days'))
WHERE status->indicator = 'x' AND precedingHeader LIKE '%tasks%'
WHERE status->indicator = ' ' AND moment(dueDate)->[format]('YYYY-MM-DD') = '2021-04-09' AND path LIKE '%GitHub%'
WHERE description LIKE '%waiting%' OR description LIKE '%waits%' OR description LIKE '%wartet%'
And much much more is possible, go explore and share!
Track tasks across your entire vault. Query them and mark them as done wherever you want. Supports due dates, recurring tasks (repetition), done dates, sub-set of checklist items, and filtering.
You can toggle the task status in any view or query and it will update the source file.
