Hey everyone,
I love using Obsidian, but I’ve always tried to keep my setup as lightweight as possible. While there are tons of powerful plugins for task management, I just prefer keeping a simple task list on a single page.
The only issue was quickly checking that list on the go. I wanted a widget for my home screen, but I couldn’t find one that nicely rendered basic Markdown formatting like headings, bold text, and lists. Most just showed plain text, which kind of defeated the purpose of organizing my notes.
So, I decided to build my own! It’s a Scriptable widget that aims to display your notes beautifully, with the styling intact.
It’s pretty simple, but it supports the basics:
- Headings (
#,##,###) - To-do lists (
- [ ]) - Bulleted (
-) and numbered (1.) lists - Bold and italic text
- Clickable URLs (they open right in your browser)
All it does is display the content from a single page you specify, but if you’re like me and just want a clean-looking window into your notes, maybe you’ll find it useful too!
You can find the script and setup instructions on GitHub:
It looks pretty good on my own devices, but I’m not sure how it will behave on others. If you give it a try, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Any feedback or feature requests are more than welcome.
