A calendar and Gantt chart for Obsidian that keep your events and project tasks as Markdown notes in your Vault, linked from your Daily Notes.
Highlights
- Events are notes. Each local event is an Event Note with
startandendin its properties, linked from the Daily Note for its date. Subscribed events get an Event Note when you open them. Drag an event to another day and its Daily Note entry moves with it. - Six views. Week, Day, Month, Year, Custom days, and List, plus a mini calendar for jumping between dates. Click a date header for its Daily Note or a week number for its Weekly Note.
- Your schedule beside your notes. An events sidebar shows a phone-style day timeline or a two-week list, and a month calendar sidebar marks event days and existing Daily Notes.
- Calendar subscriptions. Add read-only HTTPS or
webcal://feeds next to your local events. Holiday calendars shade their days. - Finds and fixes note problems. When a copied note duplicates an
event_id, Review Event Note problems shows the copies side by side, highlights the differences, recommends which to keep, and applies the fix you choose. Notes with broken properties can be restored to their last valid version. - Projects as Gantt charts. Open a note's outline as a WBS table or a Gantt chart. Dates, progress, and assignees live in brackets at the end of each line, such as
(30%, 11/1-11/6, @小王)or@[[小王]]/[[@小王]]for a linked person, and dated tasks appear in the calendar. See Projects and Gantt. - Local and private. No account or telemetry. The only network requests fetch the feeds you add. See privacy and compatibility.

Contributing
Bug reports and pull requests are welcome. You need Node.js 22 or newer, npm, and zip.
git clone https://github.com/rightson/obsidian-event-notes.git
cd obsidian-event-notes
npm ci
npm run dev -- /absolute/path/to/test-vault
npm run dev rebuilds into the Vault's plugin folder on every save. The path must be absolute and point to a Vault Obsidian has already opened, so it has a .obsidian folder. With the Hot Reload plugin installed there, Obsidian reloads Event Notes after each build. Use a test Vault, not your real one.
Before opening a pull request:
npm run typecheck
npm test
npm run package

Ways to help:
- Native QA. Several features have automated coverage only. The native test checklist lists what to check in a real Obsidian Vault.
- Mobile. The plugin is desktop-only because mobile has not been tested.
