Description

The Task Genius plugin is a robust task and project management toolkit that brings advanced control and flexibility to your notes. It offers visual progress bars, custom task statuses, and intuitive priority and due date management using inline icons and context menus. With powerful filtering options, you can view tasks based on relationships, status, or tags directly within a note or across your entire vault using a unified task view. Features like quick capture, task archiving, and workflow automation make it ideal for both simple to-do lists and complex multi-stage projects.
