Obsidian plugins with #kanban#

The TaskNotes plugin turns each task into its own Markdown note and uses Bases queries to power list, kanban, calendar, agenda, and mini calendar views. It stores task data in YAML frontmatter, so tasks stay portable and easy to edit outside the plugin. Natural language entry helps create tasks quickly, while configurable properties let existing workflows map fields like due dates or custom metadata. It also handles recurring tasks with per instance completion, optional occurrence notes, time tracking, Pomodoro sessions, dependencies and computed formulas inside the bundled views. Calendar sync is available for Google, Microsoft or ICS sources and the plugin can connect to external tools through its HTTP API, CLI, browser extension and webhooks.

The Task Board plugin provides a Kanban-style interface to manage and track tasks across an Obsidian vault. It scans markdown files for tasks and presents them on a visual board, allowing users to update tasks in real time without opening individual notes. Tasks can be categorized, assigned priorities, and filtered based on metadata such as due dates and tags. Users can also add sub-tasks, attach notes, and document progress directly from the board. Inspired by GitHub's project boards, the plugin aims to replicate an efficient task-tracking workflow for personal and collaborative projects within Obsidian.

The Task List Kanban plugin streamlines task management in Obsidian by creating a dynamic kanban view that organizes tasks from your notes. Tasks are automatically added to the kanban board when formatted in the task list style, and users can assign them to specific columns using tags. The kanban view allows for efficient task management with features like drag-and-drop organization, task editing, archiving, and filtering based on tags. The plugin updates tasks both in the kanban and their original files, ensuring synchronization. Customizable columns and folder scopes make it adaptable to individual workflows, while its integration minimizes duplicate effort in managing and prioritizing tasks.

The Sheet Plus plugin brings a spreadsheet workspace into a vault, letting people create linked sheets, format numbers, add images, apply custom fonts and use data validation with checkboxes, dropdowns and dates. It also supports charts, so tables can turn into visuals without leaving the note environment. For broader workflows, the plugin adds import and export for xlsx files, chart embeds, dashboards, kanban boards and calendar views, though those advanced features need a license. Another notable part is its REST API, which is meant for automated table processing through external clients. This makes it a good fit for people who manage structured data, plan work or track information in a more tabular way inside their notes.

The CardBoard plugin for Obsidian introduces a dynamic Kanban-style interface for managing tasks directly from your markdown files. It integrates seamlessly with your vault, allowing you to organize tasks into columns based on due dates, tags, or custom setups. Subtasks, notes, and tags are visually displayed on task cards, offering clarity and detail at a glance. The plugin syncs task completion between the board and markdown files, including timestamping. Customization options abound, from task filtering and tag styling to card highlights and column configurations. CardBoard ensures a visually organized and functional workflow tailored to your note-taking and task management needs.

The Obsidian Kanban plugin lets you create markdown backed Kanban boards inside your vault. It is built for people who want a more visual way to organise tasks, plan ongoing work or track items across stages without moving away from plain text files. The focus is simple: boards live in markdown, so the workflow stays close to regular notes instead of a separate system. That makes it a natural fit for vaults where task planning and note taking overlap.

The Automatic Tasks plugin for Obsidian is a game-changer for users who rely on periodic notes to manage their tasks. It seamlessly carries over incomplete tasks from previous notes into your daily or weekly entries, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. This plugin doesn't just copy tasks-it enhances them with due dates, making it easy to track timelines. For users of the Kanban plugin, Automatic Tasks takes organization to the next level by centralizing all tasks in a Kanban board, keeping everything in sync. You can customize settings to search tasks within specific headers or across entire notes, giving you full control over how your task management integrates into your workflow. Whether you're managing daily to-dos, long-term projects, or both, this plugin offers a streamlined solution to stay organized effortlessly.

The Operon plugin turns Markdown checkboxes and file based tasks into one task system with shared identity, metadata and history. It indexes inline tasks inside notes and larger file tasks in their own notes, then lets the same records move through filters, the Table, Calendar, Kanban boards and the Task Editor without losing context. Tasks can be created from notes, selections, calendar slots and external calendar events, then linked through parent child relationships, dependencies and project serials. Operon also includes recurrence rules, fixed and rule based reminders, pinned task views and built in time tracking with session history. Its data stays local in the vault and plugin storage, with optional read only ICS calendars, release checks and downloadable language packs.

The Project Manager plugin adds a full project layer inside your vault using Markdown files and frontmatter instead of an external service. It works across table, gantt and kanban views, so the same tasks can be edited as rows, timeline bars or status cards. Tasks support subtasks, dependencies, milestones, recurring schedules, due reminders, time estimates, logged work, assignees, tags and bulk actions. Projects can define their own fields, statuses, priorities and saved views, while scheduling rules can automatically shift dependent tasks when dates move. The plugin also imports existing notes as tasks, supports project creation from a note and can align with TaskNotes without destructive conversion. Collaboration stays file based, so vault sync tools and Git remain the storage and sharing layer.

The StoryLine plugin turns a vault into a book planning workspace with scene boards, a corkboard, plot grids, timelines and a continuous manuscript view. It stores projects as Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, manages scenes, notes, archive items and exports, and adds detailed inspectors for status, POV, characters, locations, tags and custom scene fields. The plugin also includes a Codex hub for characters, locations and custom categories, relationship and story graphs, setup and payoff tracking, filtering, writing goals, sprint timers and pacing or plot hole analysis. It can import Scrivener projects, export outlines or manuscripts to Markdown, JSON, CSV, HTML, PDF and DOCX, and group books into a series with a shared Codex. Series migration checks that automatic internal link updates are enabled before files move.

The Trello plugin integrates Trello with Obsidian, allowing users to manage their Trello cards directly from within their notes. It provides features such as connecting cards to notes, updating labels, adding comments, and managing checklists. Users can create new cards, move them between lists, and customize the displayed Trello elements to suit their workflow.

The Notion Bases plugin turns folders of markdown notes into local databases with table, board, gallery, list, calendar, timeline and chart views. It stores rows as normal notes with frontmatter fields, then layers a database style interface on top with inline editing, column pinning, multi column sorting, filters, bulk actions and CSV import or export. The plugin also adds richer data modelling through formula columns, relations, lookups, rollups, subtasks and media aware fields for images, audio and video. Charts are rendered as SVG, timeline views support drag resizing, and board views allow card movement by grouped fields. Instead of replacing notes with a separate storage system, it keeps everything in plain markdown while expanding how structured note collections can be queried, visualised and edited.

The BeautyTasks plugin is a task and project manager built around plain Markdown notes, where each task lives as its own file with frontmatter instead of a separate database. It provides a dashboard with sidebar navigation, saved filters and three layouts for the same data: list, kanban board and calendar. Tasks can carry status, priority, dates, deadlines, recurrence, reminders, labels, projects, areas, descriptions, comments and attachments, while quick capture parses dates, times, priorities, labels and project references from natural language input. The plugin also supports sub tasks, drag and drop moves, custom statuses, soft delete, JSON import and export, and optional Google Calendar sync. Its own field names are configurable, so existing note structures do not have to be rewritten.

The Bases Board plugin adds Kanban and gallery views for Bases, turning grouped notes into cards arranged by column and optional row properties. Moving a card updates the original property values, while label mappings only change what the board displays. Cards can show note images, Lucide icons and an ID that can be copied or edited and clicking the title opens the note in a new tab while the rest of the card stays available for dragging. Each base can define a folder and template for new notes, then assign the current column and row values after creation. It also preserves Bases link markup for Supercharged Links styling, runs Templater commands before property assignment and throws an error for invalid folder or template paths.

The Yori Task plugin turns a vault sidebar pane into a planning space with a task board, a week view and a year view for longer horizon work. It uses backlog, upcoming and later columns, lets you move items with drag and drop, and keeps a Recent Done area close by. You can rename or reorder columns, highlight tasks and archive the current week or year plan into Markdown notes when needed. It also creates linked task rows when note files are dropped into a column, which makes task tracking feel tied to actual notes instead of a separate list.

The Agile Task Notes plugin allows users to integrate task management systems like Jira and Azure DevOps into Obsidian, creating a seamless workflow for managing tasks and notes. It generates a local Kanban board featuring tasks assigned to you, enabling easy navigation within Obsidian. Each task is automatically converted into a dedicated note, where users can add personalized notes and to-do lists. The plugin also provides customizable templates for task notes, making it adaptable to individual workflows.

The Open cards in imdone. plugin integrates Obsidian with the Imdone kanban board, allowing users to seamlessly link their Imdone cards within Obsidian. Clicking an Imdone link in Obsidian opens the corresponding card in the Imdone app, and vice versa. Additionally, when configured in Imdone's board settings, it can open Obsidian directly at the source line of a card for editing. This plugin enhances productivity by bridging the gap between task management in Imdone and note organization in Obsidian.

The Kanban Bases View plugin turns an Obsidian Base into a kanban board where notes are grouped into columns from any chosen property. You can pick fields like Status, Priority or Category, then move cards between columns with drag and drop to update that value directly from the board. Columns can also be reordered with a handle, and the chosen order is saved per property so the view stays consistent between sessions. Notes that do not have the selected value are collected into an Uncategorized column instead of disappearing. Clicking a card opens the note, which keeps the board useful as both a planning surface and a navigation layer. The plugin is mainly for managing Bases when your notes behave like tasks or tracked items.

The Base Board plugin gives Bases a property driven board view that behaves like a hands on Kanban workspace. It can build columns from frontmatter, move cards between them with drag and drop, rename cards or columns inline and open notes in a native floating editor. Cards can show metadata chips, tag filters, cover images and hover previews, while board level defaults let new notes inherit required properties and folders. It also keeps manual card order through a dedicated property, so layout decisions stay in the data instead of disappearing after a sort refresh. WIP limits and collapsible columns round out the view without hiding the underlying Markdown files.

The Power Bases plugin extends the core Bases feature with six extra views: board, calendar, timeline, chart, gallery, and a much deeper table. It keeps rows as normal notes with frontmatter, so data stays portable and sync friendly across devices. The board supports drag moves, swimlanes, WIP limits and bulk actions. Calendar and timeline views write schedule changes back to notes, while charts render grouped data as plain SVG. The table adds more field types, rollups, summaries, formatting, CSV import and formula editing with live preview. Every edit is grouped into undoable batches, and most features work fully offline. Its only network use is optional address autocomplete for Place fields.

The Xove Dashboard plugin turns the home view into a personal control panel that combines tasks, projects, inspiration boards, note activity and countdowns in one layout. It stores tasks, projects and boards as Markdown files with frontmatter, so changes stay local and editable. The home screen includes quick capture, today's tasks, progress rings, weekly and overdue cards, project stages, a 52 week heatmap and up to five countdowns. Projects can be managed in Gantt, list, calendar and Kanban views, with drag actions writing date and status changes back to Markdown in real time. Task handling covers four priority levels, repeating schedules, parent and child tasks, reminders and per day check ins for multi day work. The interface supports English and Chinese, follows the active theme and runs on desktop only.

The Kanban Status Updater plugin enhances your Obsidian Kanban boards by automatically synchronizing the status of linked notes whenever a card is moved between columns. This eliminates the need for manual updates, allowing you to create more dynamic views such as dashboards or dataview queries based on task status. The plugin is optimized for performance by only monitoring the active board, ensuring smooth operation even in large vaults. Users can customize which frontmatter property is updated, receive visual confirmation when changes occur, and troubleshoot with an optional debug mode.
