TaskChute Plus

English | 日本語

Execute tasks, don't just organize them.

TaskChute Plus is an Obsidian plugin focused on execution-first task management: you decide what to do now, run it, and keep a reliable log of what actually happened.

What You Can Do

• Manage daily tasks in one TaskChute view with date navigation.
• Start/stop tasks and track actual execution time.
• Group tasks by configurable time slots plus a No time section.
• Create and run routines (daily, weekly, monthly patterns).
• Move, duplicate, reset, and delete task instances with day-state persistence.
• Link tasks to projects and open project board views.
• Review history from execution logs and yearly heatmap data.
• Set reminder times per task.
• Export tasks to Google Calendar URL scheme.
• Use Japanese/English UI (or follow Obsidian language).

Commands

Available from Obsidian Command Palette:

• Open TaskChute
• TaskChute settings
• Show today's tasks
• Reorganize idle tasks to current slot
• Duplicate selected task (when TaskChute view is active)
• Delete selected task (when TaskChute view is active)
