How it works
A regular - dash triggers a list, just as normal. A markdown task turns into a • bullet. Click it to complete the task. A migrated task looks like >, and a task sent to the future log looks like <. Events look like a small circle. Click it to complete the circle.
Known Limitations
This plugin does not work with the Border theme.

About
Bring the simplicity of your bullet journal to the screen. A dash is a note. A dot is a task. An arrow means it moved.
Type your BuJo shorthand the way you always have (- [ ], - [>], - [o], ~ …), and the plugin replaces Obsidian's checkboxes with the glyphs they were always meant to be — a bullet, an arrow, a ringed dot, a styled emotion line. It works in both Reading mode and Live Preview, and it leaves no trace when disabled: all styling is scoped to a single body class, so switching it off hands full control back to Obsidian instantly.Details
