What is Task Board

Task Board is a plugin for Obsidian to view and manage all your task in a much more efficient Kanban board format. Easily manage your tasks throughout your vault from a single place. And automate your task management workflow.

Watch the above complete YouTube playlist to see demo of all the features released in every version.

How Does it work

This plugin scans tasks from all markdown files across your entire vault and shows them in a Kanban type board.
Scan filters can be applied to scan only specific files or to exclude specific files.
You can edit the task directly from the Task Board, without opening the Markdown file.
Add tasks to currently opened files using a pop-up window.

Motivation and Vision

Previously, I always used the Kanban Plugin to manage my tasks. It had many amazing features and worked nicely for me, but as soon as I came across the CardBoard plugin everything changed. The idea of being able to manage all my tasks from the whole vault on a single board amazed me a lot. However, after I used it for few days, I realized there were some important features this plugin was lacking. I had some challenges with contributing to their main project, so I instead decided to start my own plugin. And thats how, Task Board was born.

While in development, I took inspiration from the CardBoard and Kanban plugins, as well as many feature ideas from GitHub project planning KanBan board. I hope that I am able to give the best of all these three tools in one place. And planning to keep enhancing this plugin.

Support

A great deal of effort has gone into bringing this idea to life. While the plugin was originally created for my personal use, I genuinely believed it could help others streamline their task management and project handling.
