How It Works:
1. Point TaskForge to your Obsidian vault folder on your device
2. The app scans your vault and discovers all task-containing Markdown files
3. Manage your tasks on mobile - all changes sync directly back to your vault files
4. Real-time file monitoring keeps tasks synchronized when you edit files in Obsidian
5. Your existing sync solution keeps everything coordinated across devices
File System Requirements:
TaskForge requires comprehensive file system access to function as your Obsidian task manager. The app must:
• Read contents of files in user-selected folders (outside app storage) across your device
• Process up to thousands of Markdown files efficiently to identify and extract tasks
• Write back to original files when users create or update tasks
• Monitor files for real-time changes to display the most current task state
This file management capability is essential for maintaining seamless synchronization with your Obsidian workflow and ensuring tasks stay current across all your devices and applications.
Note: While optimized for Obsidian vaults, TaskForge works with any Markdown task files stored anywhere on your device.
