This code would render in Preview mode like this: So if I wanted to show all tasks associated with the NeuYear Focused calendar project, I would use this code: If you want to filter by project, you can do that by using # and then the project name. Once I switch to Preview mode, the embedded tasks look something like this: If I wanted to show all tasks that were either due today or overdue, I would use this code:

If you’re new to Todoist filters, check out this article by Jeff Abbott as an introduction or the official documentation on the Todoist website. The name is simply the title that will be displayed at the top of the section once we embed the tasks. The variables we can change here are name and filter.

#Todoist kanban how to
In this video, I’m going to show you how to use the Todoist Sync community plugin to embed tasks using Todoist’s filters in Obsidian.įirst, click on the gear icon in the lower left to access the Obsidian Settings: Fortunately, there’s a Todoist plugin for Obsidian that allows you to have the best of both worlds - you can capture tasks into Todoist directly and get notified on your devices when it’s time to do a task, but you can also embed those tasks into an Obsidian document so you can associate them with a particular project. But if you rely on notifications for when to do what, then you’re going to need a dedicated task manager. – their pricing model is either “free” (with limited functions) or per team member – and that cost comes out a bit steeper than sites that do offer an “individual” or “Pro” plan.Obsidian has some basic support for tasks built in. – the sites pushing for teams don’t always make that a prominent item – also knew about the web site, but missed the desktop app – but does have direct on screen entry as well – write your notes and take a picture – true merger of hand and electron -))

– may have a slightly steeper learning curve as a result – definitely fits the bill plus has other good functions – actually found that one just after I posted – but fantastic that the arrangement use entirely up to the user. Slightly distracting to have them come up directly on top of everything else. – do you know a way to put the notes against a fixed background – some very light color preferably. – I knew about Todoist – lots of good reports out there – but missed the desktop app. – I don’t need the data on-line, but I don’t want to have to access by browser.
