Tasks Datetime

Tasks with date and time support down to seconds

Tasks Datetime is an Obsidian task-management plugin with optional date and time support down to seconds. It keeps date-only task workflows compact while allowing precise task planning when time support is enabled.

Independent project. Tasks Datetime is independently maintained and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or supported by the upstream Obsidian Tasks project or its maintainers.

Relationship to the upstream project

The upstream project remains the date-only compatibility baseline. Tasks Datetime preserves that workflow and adds optional time-of-day and seconds precision for people whose planning needs cannot be represented by a calendar date alone. It is not presented as an official replacement for the upstream plugin.

Highlights

• Time management with optional YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss task dates, a combined date and time picker, and compact date-only display when you need less detail.
• Quiet Obsidian reminders and a structured reminder snapshot for Agent automations. See Reminders.
• Recurrence presets and four-quadrant importance/urgency editing.
• Task dashboard for filtered progress, risks, plans, saved views, and bulk task updates.
• Query support for date and time values, plus documented query examples.

Installation

Until Tasks Datetime is accepted into the Obsidian Community Plugins directory, install it manually:

1. Download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from a release.
2. Create .obsidian/plugins/tasks-datetime/ in your vault.
3. Copy the three files into that directory and enable Tasks Datetime in Obsidian.
