Chorefast Obsidian Plugin

A Bases Kanban board that picks your next chore for you.

I stumbled across Simone Giertz's chore chart and wanted something similar, so I built this!

Chorefast adds a Chorefast Kanban view to Bases. Use Obsidian's native kanban layout to organize chores by status, then switch to the Chorefast view to spin for a random task in any column and publish the whole board to the web.

Requirements

  • Obsidian 1.10.0+ (Bases view API).
  • Obsidian 1.14.0+ if you want the native kanban layout for editing. Chorefast's own view works on 1.10+.

Writing Chores

Each chore is a note. Add properties (frontmatter) to control how it appears:

status: Todo          # column — group your Base by this property
difficulty: medium    # easy | medium | hard
due: 2024-12-25       # optional date
recurrence: weekly    # one-time | weekly | monthly | yearly

Example note body:

Water the plants.

Setting Up a Board

  1. Create a new Base and add a Kanban view (Obsidian 1.14+), grouping by status.
  2. Add a second view and choose Chorefast Kanban as the layout.
  3. Optionally configure the view:
    • Card title property — show a property instead of the file name.
    • Done column value — the column that the random picker will skip (default Done).
    • Show random pick buttons — toggle the dice button on each column.

Use the native Kanban view to drag chores between columns; use the Chorefast view to hit the dice and pick a random chore from a column. Both views read the same notes.

Web Sync Setup

  1. Open chore.fast/create-sync in your browser.
  2. Click Create Free Sync to generate a Sync ID.
  3. In Obsidian, go to Settings → Community Plugins → Chorefast.
  4. Paste the Sync ID (and Sync Secret, if provided) into the settings.
  5. Click the publish button in the Chorefast view (or run Chorefast: Publish board to web).
  6. Visit the public URL on any device to view your board.

Development

npm install
npm run dev      # Watch for changes and rebuild automatically
npm run build    # Type-check and build for production

The plugin is written in TypeScript and bundled with esbuild. main.ts is the entry point.
