Logwell

Logwell is a task manager for Obsidian. It brings tasks, a calendar, an Eisenhower matrix, a focus timer and habits into one tab, and keeps all of it in one database file in your vault.

It is for people who plan their days in Obsidian and want their tasks next to their notes, without turning every task into a note. You type a task as a sentence, and Logwell finds the date, list, tags and priority in it. Most changes can be undone.

Logwell runs on Obsidian for desktop.

Features

• Tasks with dates, times, deadlines, durations, priorities, subtasks and a linked description note.
• Quick Add reads a line such as Pay rent friday #Home @errands !1 as you type.
• Lists, sections and tags, with nested tags and a board of columns.
• Views: Today, Upcoming, Inbox, Completed and Trash, with sorting, grouping and search.
• Repeating tasks that stay one task and keep their history.
• A calendar with week and month views, where you drag tasks to reschedule them.
• An Eisenhower matrix that sorts tasks by urgency and importance.
• Focus: timed rounds with breaks, and a record of every round.
• Habits with check-ins, streaks, goals and reminders.
• A task block that shows a live list of tasks inside any note.
• Optional TickTick sync, off until you turn it on. See Privacy.

Getting started walks you through these steps and your first task.

Your data
