Kanban Base

A plugin for Obsidian that adds two kanban views to Bases.

Requires Obsidian 1.10.1+.

Views

Kanban (Property)

Groups notes into columns by a text property value (e.g. a status field). Set the group-by field in the base to any text property and each unique value becomes a column. Changing a card's column updates that property on the note.

Kanban Folders

Groups notes into columns by their immediate parent folder. Each direct subfolder of the base's root folder is a column. Moving a card between columns physically moves the file to that folder — Obsidian handles link updates automatically.
