README file from
GithubObsidian Taskmap Plugin
Plan projects via interactive GUI task trees. No need to move tasks around manually — the automatic layout keeps your structure visually clear and easy to edit.
How to install
Taskmap is available via obsidian community portal https://community.obsidian.md/plugins/taskmap and "Community plugins" option in the obsidian app.
Why Taskmap?
Get your project state at a glance.
Large Kanban boards overwhelm. Taskmap's color-coded tree instantly shows:
- Blocked areas
- Progress status
- Dependency flow
Canvas-style visualization, zero manual positioning.
Key Features
- Automatic layout
- Tree navigation via temporarily hiding irrelevant branches
- Link tasks to obsidian notes for rich description
- Color-coded status visualization
- Automatic parent status from children
- Link tasks outside of tree structure using blocker system
- Theme support for the active Obsidian theme, with light and dark overrides
Theme
The taskmap follows Obsidian's base color scheme, including Adapt to system and community themes.
Set Theme in the plugin settings:
- Obsidian uses the colors of the active theme.
- Light forces the plugin's light palette.
- Dark forces the plugin's dark palette. This was the only variant before theme support.
Colors change with the theme. Sizes stay the same.
