Shopping List

An Obsidian plugin that renders all checkboxes from the current note as an interactive shopping list. Tick items off, untick them, and clear completed items with a single button click — all reflected live in the underlying markdown.

Usage

Add a shopping-list code block anywhere in a note:

- [ ] Milk
- [ ] Eggs
- [x] Butter
  - [ ] Salted kind
- [ ] Coffee

```shopping-list
```

The code block renders an interactive list of all checkboxes in the note. Checking or unchecking an item updates the raw markdown immediately. The "Clear completed (N)" button removes all - [x] lines from the file.

Features

• Reads all - [ ] and - [x] checkboxes from the active note
• Supports - [ ], * [ ], and indented items
• Live toggle: clicking a checkbox flips it in the markdown file
• "Clear completed" button removes all checked items
• Respects your Obsidian theme (light/dark) via CSS variables
• Works on desktop and mobile ("isDesktopOnly": false)
