To-Do → Done Mover

An Obsidian plugin that quickly moves completed checkbox tasks — including their indented sub-tasks — from a to-do list into a ### Done section of the same note.

🌍 Languages: English (this page) · Deutsch The plugin interface follows Obsidian's UI language: English by default, German when Obsidian is set to German.

Demo

The To-Do → Done Mover plugin in action

Features

  • Right-click menu in the editor:
    • Move completed tasks to Done — moves every fully completed task.
    • Move selection to Done — moves the task blocks touched by the current text selection (only shown when text is selected).
  • The same actions are available as commands (command palette, can be bound to hotkeys).
  • Auto mode (optional): as soon as a task is checked, it moves to Done automatically — but only when the task and all of its sub-tasks are checked.
  • Sub-tasks move along with their parent; indentation is preserved.
  • Optionally appends a completion date ✅ YYYY-MM-DD to each moved, checked line (no duplicate dates).
  • If the ### Done heading does not exist, it is created at the end of the note.

Settings

Setting Description Default
Auto mode Move completed tasks automatically off
Done heading Name of the target heading Done
Append completion date Append a ✅ date to moved lines on

Usage

  1. Open a note that contains a checkbox to-do list.
  2. Right-click in the editor and choose an action, or run the matching command from the command palette.
  3. Completed tasks are moved under the configured Done heading.

Build from source

npm install
npm test          # unit tests (Vitest)
npm run build     # produces main.js

Install into a vault

Copy main.js and manifest.json into <Vault>/.obsidian/plugins/todo-done-mover/, then enable the plugin under Settings → Community plugins.

For development you can use the project folder directly as the plugin folder (npm run dev for a watch build).

Releases

Pushing a git tag triggers the GitHub Actions workflow in .github/workflows/release.yml, which builds the plugin and attaches main.js and manifest.json to a new GitHub release. Make sure the tag matches the version in manifest.json.

Project structure

File Purpose
main.ts Plugin class: commands, context menu, auto mode
src/taskParser.ts Markdown parsing, section and block detection
src/mover.ts Pure move logic (moveCompletedTasks, moveSelectedTasks)
src/settings.ts Settings UI
src/i18n.ts UI string localization (English / German)
src/types.ts Shared types and defaults
src/*.test.ts Unit tests

taskParser.ts and mover.ts have no Obsidian dependencies, so they are unit-testable without a running Obsidian instance.
