The latest version supports dataview tasks format and multiple reminder lists with Routing Rules.
I think the product is pretty much feature complete now so I’ll probably start doing some marketing and move onto coding something new. Sales until now have all been organic.
I built it for myself after I began using Obsidian for day to day note making. A simple idea: get reminders for tasks you create in Obsidian. People seem to like it.

Currently working on supporting dataview tasks format and multiple reminder lists.
The app supports any markdown backed notes app, but I fear I may have limited its appeal by including Obsidian in the app name.

You should have experience in swift and swiftui, and preferably have worked on MacOS applications.

- if the app is running on your MacBook the reminder is added as a task to your vault as soon as iCloud syncs it to your Mac calendar
- if the app is not running, next time it runs the Task will be added to your vault
I think what Obsidian with recent changes to their sorage sync fees is actually brilliant. I paid $8/month for 50GB, then they dropped the storage to 10GB. So I’m getting a great deal for the same $8 compared to new users & now they have a very low-grade $4/moonth plan that probably works for a lot of people … maybe even me. But going from 50GB to 1GB for half teh cost has me locked in to an extent.
That said $9/year doesn’t seem crazy for this one feature but I’m reluctant to install this without knowing this in advance. Still surprised Apple doesn’t require these details upfront … but these details aren’t in the app store or site as far as I can tell.
- syncing of vault tasks to reminders (once every six hours)
- completion of vault tasks in reminders (immediately when the app is running)
- creation of tasks from reminders (also immediate while running)
- manual syncing whenever you want (click a button to sync vault tasks to reminders if you don’t want to wait for the automatic sync)
If you purchase, you get access to the following nice to have features:
- faster sync intervals (I.e. your vault is checked automatically for new tasks up to every minute)
- deletion sync: if you delete a Reminder the associated Task is deleted from the vault (immediately)
- descriptions for Reminders: the reminder description includes the note name from Obsidian; soon this will also include any child elements of the task.
- ability to only sync tasks with a due date
Like I said the free version should still be useful for most people. Once installed there is also a description of premium features on the purchase screen.
I’ll add these to the App Store description; thanks for the feedback!
Tried it out just now as a free user and it synced thousands of completed reminders as `- [x] ...` for each. It's hard to make the jump to pay for this when I cannot test it out fully.
I designed the App to be running all the time on my MacBook as that is where I use Obsidian; during my usage I have observed syncing working with my machine plugged in and display closed. This should be possible to test yourself with the free 6 hour sync interval.
For the issue you mentioned, by any chance did you select an existing list or create a new empty list? If selecting an existing reminder list completed Reminders will be synced to the inbox. It was an untested flow, but I think it’s correct as the program ensures the list state is synced to the vault state. I believe the setup wizard recommends creating a new list, I will add a note that completed reminders will be added to your vault if you select an existing list.
Initially I released it for obsidian: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39764919 but realised it works with just markdown so I rebranded the app, added some new features and increased prices.
