Hey Obsidian Users!
I’ve been working on TaskForge, a native task management app specifically designed for Obsidian users, and I’m excited to share that it’s now available for testing on iOS and macOS!
What makes TaskForge special?
-
Native Obsidian Tasks Integration: TaskForge works directly with your Obsidian vault’s tasks, faithfully replicating the functionality of the popular Tasks plugin with full support for all date types, recurring tasks, priority emoji, and more!
-
Everything Stays Local: Your vault data remains exclusively on your devices - no external servers involved. iCloud is only used to sync your app settings and custom lists between devices, ensuring your personal information remains under your control.
-
Fully Customizable Experience: Create custom filtered task lists that show exactly what you need (tasks due today, tasks with specific tags, high priority items, etc). Light/dark mode, compact view options, and more to fit your workflow perfectly.
-
Rich Notification System: Get reminded about due and upcoming tasks with configurable notification times. The app also displays badges showing the number of tasks needing attention.
-
Beautiful Markdown Support: All your fancy formatting and links display beautifully in the UI - just as you’d expect from an Obsidian companion app.
Why I built this
I wanted a seamless way to manage my Obsidian tasks across devices without compromising on privacy or functionality. After looking at existing solutions, I decided to build something that works exactly how an Obsidian user would expect - with your tasks stored in plain markdown, accessible anywhere, and displayed in a native interface optimized for task management.
Ready to try it out?

I’d love to hear what you think - feature requests, bug reports, or just general feedback are all greatly appreciated.

PS I noticed another awesome Obsidian task app was posted earlier today! Great minds think alike 
There’s definitely room for different approaches to task management in the Obsidian ecosystem. If you’re using iOS, check out both and see which fits your workflow best! For macOS users… I’ve got you covered!
