Sync your Things Logbook with Obsidian Daily Notes to create a comprehensive view of your tasks. Automatically import completed tasks, including subtasks and tags, into your daily notes based on their completion date. Customize display settings and sync frequency to fit your workflow.

📕 Things Logbook for Obsidian

This plugin for Obsidian will periodically sync your Things Logbook with your Obsidian Daily Notes.

Why?

Anecdotally, I love using Things for task management. But I also want Obsidian daily notes to be a holistic view of my day-to-day. This plugin dumps completed tasks from Things into my daily notes, meaning I can keep my same workflow, and my Second Brain has a new data source.

Disclaimer 🚨

The initial sync will backfill your entire Things Logbook into Obsidian. This potentially means creating/modifying hundreds of files. I recommend testing this plugin out in a new vault first to make sure you're happy with the result.

Backup your data

While I have tested this plugin with my own data, your mileage may vary. I am not at fault for any data loss that may incur. Backup your data!

Usage

This plugin will fetches all your historical tasks and dumps them into the Daily Note corresponding to the completed date of the task.

It also displays any subtasks, tags, or areas associated to the tasks.

It will refetch the tasks at a designated interval.
