- Community Directory: Task Radar - Obsidian Plugin
Task Radar turns your Obsidian Tasks ( Introduction - Tasks User Guide - Obsidian Publish ) into blips on a radar. A blip’s distance from the centre is driven by its due date — overdue and due-soon tasks sit near the core, later ones drift outward — and the angle groups tasks by category. As days pass, blips drift inward on their own, so the radar stays a live picture of what’s closing in.
You manage tasks straight from the radar, no need to open the note:
- Postpone → next ring, or postpone by 1 day / 1 week / 1 month
- Drag a blip in or out to reschedule — it rewrites the task’s
date - Set due date…, Complete task (dims + strikes it through), Open task
- Bind existing task-blips to their lines with a stable block id, so edits survive reordering
- Inherited radar goodness: category segments, per-blip/ring/category colours, pan/zoom
Requires the Tasks plugin (for the due-date format). Fully local — no network calls.
Task Radar is a fork of the excellent obsidian-radar ( GitHub - lfcipriani/obsidian-radar: Visualize your notes and ideas on a radar. Group them by topic, prioritize by proximity to the center, and keep focus when juggling multiple areas at once. Do not lose sight of items that might be hiding good opportunities. · GitHub ) by Luis Cipriani, specialised for date-driven task management — huge thanks to him for the radar engine it’s built on.
