What do you guys think of being able to link markdown’s to-do to actual pop up reminders? The syntax might be something like this: `- [] Reply customer email ![remind] today 16 hs` With whatever is after ![remind] would be hidden in the preview mode, except maybe for a small clock icon to show that the item has a linked reminder. Then at the specified hour, or day, a small pop up would appear with _‘Snooze’_, _‘Mark as Done’_, and _‘View Note’_. I wouldn’t want to bloat Obsidian, but I think it would add usefulness to markdown checkboxes. Just an idea I had. ---

I love this idea. The Obsidian, as it is, is definitely lacking a tool or way to handle/manage markdown tasks. When using the tool, we may take notes in different context, preparing the next day or during a meeting. This is where tasks will be noted, but there is currently no efficient way to gather all these tasks in one place to get an overview and follow up. A plug-in that could allow to see all our tasks splited into categories would be great and a reminder pop up would allow to not forget most important tasks. ---

I’m completely in favor of this, idea. I’ve started writing my contact sheets in markdown and remembering to wish a birthday would be very handy! ---

An additional feature for this todo list plugin I’d really like would be a hierarchical structure to tasklists. For example one note with overall tasks and other notes linked to these with subtasks. ---

+1! This idea is great. Since [a mobile app is in the works](https://trello.com/c/arWZckY8), it would be great in the future to receive notifications of reminders on mobile, too. I used [Joplin](https://joplinapp.org)’s reminder functionalities until I switched to Obsidian, and I’m feeling like I really miss this feature. ---

Along with mobile apps, reminders for To-do items is really all I need to abandon my other tools forever. Thanks to you all (the many talented minds out there) thinking about this stuff! ---

**+1** for this idea… But seems we are limiting to reminder per item … Why not have also possibility to set one for the whole list ??? ---

Hm. I still see Obsidian more as a PKM/Knowledgebase than as a To-Do managing app. Then again, due to its flexibility, I find myself using and searching `- []` more and more … For managing To-Dos, I’ve been using the [`todo.txt`](http://todotxt.org/) text file format for years, with good success, because it’s easy and portable, and I sync it between Android and several Linux machines. Without having thought it out, I’d probably like a `todo.txt` handler plugin, or at least the possibility to simply edit the `.txt` file format in Obsidian. Here’s [more on the format](https://github.com/todotxt/todo.txt) and even a [JavaScript Parser](https://github.com/roufamatic/todo-txt-js). ---

Instead of re-inventing the wheel i think a better idea is to enhance existing tasks plugins to export such info into todo.txt file or alike. Tasks plugin or dataview plugin seems good candidates to me. [Next page](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/to-dos-with-reminders/884.md?page=2)
