Description

The Simplest Todo plugin keeps a single task note under control by moving completed items into an archive section as you save. It watches chosen sections in one Markdown file, stamps finished tasks with their completion date and later rolls archived entries into separate month based files, so the active list stays short without losing history. If you reopen a finished task, it can return to its original section instead of staying buried in the archive. The plugin also includes manual archive and rollover commands, a ribbon action and a migration command for cleaning up older mixed archives.

English

A minimalist Obsidian plugin for managing tasks with automatic monthly archiving. Keep your task list clean — completed tasks move to a rolling archive automatically, organized by month into separate files.

Features

  • Auto-archive — completed tasks (- [x]) are automatically moved to the archive section on save
  • 📦 Monthly rollover — at month end, archived tasks are exported to a separate file (e.g. Tasks - 2026-04 - April.md)
  • 📅 Date-aware grouping — tasks are filed into the correct monthly file based on their actual completion date
  • ↩️ Unarchive — unchecking a task in the archive (- [x]- [ ]) returns it to its original section
  • 🌐 Bilingual — full Russian and English interface (settings, notices, archive file content, month names)
  • 🎀 Ribbon button — one-click manual archive trigger
  • ⌨️ Command palette — run archiving or monthly rollover via Ctrl+P
  • 🔀 Migration command — reorganize an existing mixed archive into proper monthly files

How It Works

The plugin monitors a single Markdown file. It expects named sections:

## Upcoming
---
- [ ] Buy groceries
- [x] Call the dentist

## Someday
---
- [ ] Learn Portuguese

## Archive
---

When you check off a task, the plugin moves it to the archive section with a hidden completion date tag. At month end it exports all archived tasks to a monthly file.

Monthly Archive Files

📁 Archive Folder/
   Tasks - 2025-02 - February.md
   Tasks - 2025-03 - March.md
   Tasks - 2026-04 - April.md   ← current month

Each file contains a clean bullet list with completion dates:

# Task Archive — April 2026

> Archived: 01.05.2026

---

- Buy groceries *(22.04.2026)*
- Call the dentist *(18.04.2026)*

  1. Download main.js and manifest.json from the latest release

Минималистичный плагин для Obsidian: управление задачами с автоматической ежемесячной архивацией. Список задач остаётся чистым — выполненные задачи автоматически перемещаются в архив и группируются по месяцам в отдельные файлы.

Возможности

  • Автоархивация — выполненные задачи (- [x]) автоматически перемещаются в секцию архива при сохранении файла
  • 📦 Месячный перенос — по окончании месяца задачи экспортируются в отдельный файл (например Задачи - 2026-04 - Апрель.md)
  • 📅 Группировка по дате — задачи попадают в файл того месяца, когда были фактически выполнены
  • ↩️ Восстановление — снятие галочки с задачи в архиве возвращает её в исходную секцию
  • 🌐 Двуязычный интерфейс — полная поддержка русского и английского: уведомления, команды, содержимое архивных файлов, названия месяцев
  • 🎀 Кнопка на панели — ручная архивация в один клик
  • ⌨️ Палитра команд — запуск архивации и переноса через Ctrl+P
  • 🔀 Команда миграции — реорганизация существующего смешанного архива по месяцам

Как это работает

Плагин отслеживает один Markdown-файл с задачами. Ожидаемая структура:

## Ближайшее время
---
- [ ] Купить продукты
- [x] Позвонить врачу

## Без срока
---
- [ ] Выучить португальский

## Архив
---

При отметке задачи выполненной плагин перемещает её в секцию архива со скрытой датой. По окончании месяца все задачи из архива экспортируются в отдельный файл.

Файлы месячного архива

📁 Папка архива/
   Задачи - 2025-02 - Февраль.md
   Задачи - 2025-03 - Март.md
   Задачи - 2026-04 - Апрель.md   ← текущий месяц

Каждый файл содержит чистый список задач с датами выполнения:

# Архив задач — Апрель 2026

> Перенесено: 01.05.2026

---

- Купить продукты *(22.04.2026)*
- Позвонить врачу *(18.04.2026)*

Вручную:

  1. Скачайте main.js и manifest.json из последнего релиза
  2. Создайте папку: <хранилище>/.obsidian/plugins/simplest-todo/
  3. Скопируйте оба файла в неё
  4. Настройки → Сторонние плагины → Перезагрузить плагины, затем включите Simplest Todo

  1. Установите BRAT
  2. Добавьте репозиторий через BRAT → Add Beta Plugin
