The TaskNotes plugin transforms task management by treating each task as an individual Markdown note enriched with YAML frontmatter. It supports extensive metadata like due dates, statuses, priorities, contexts, and project links, allowing users to create deeply connected and highly customizable workflows. With multiple views including calendar, kanban boards, filtered lists, and daily agendas, it fits both simple to-do tracking and complex project planning. Time tracking features like start/stop timers, session history, and an integrated pomodoro timer help monitor productivity. Tasks can also recur with per-instance tracking, and the plugin supports ICS feed subscriptions for syncing with external calendars. The ability to extend frontmatter for custom fields enhances compatibility with other Obsidian tools like Bases.

TaskNotes 4.1.3
This patch fixes a critical performance issue affecting the Calendar views. As a bonus, it adds a configurable "split" view to the task creation/edit modals.
Added
- Split layout for task modals on wide screens (900px+)
- Details editor appears in a dedicated right column when the modal is expanded
- New setting "Split layout on wide screens" in Modal Fields settings tab to toggle this behavior
- Improves usability by showing form fields and details side-by-side
Fixed
- (#1330) Fixed calendar view regression taking 5 seconds to load and respond to user interactions
- Initial calendar load is now immediate again
- User interactions (drag/drop, creating timeblocks, etc.) respond instantly
- Removed redundant date filtering (FullCalendar handles this more efficiently)
- Thanks to @ysafonov, @kmaustral, @sunjiawe, @Мизгирь, and @FiliusIcari for reporting
