Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks

155 点作者 rahilb大约 1 年前
Greetings,<p>I started using Obsidian and the brilliant Obsidian Tasks plugin to manage Tasks in my notes however it didn&#x27;t quite work for me as I would lose track of Tasks when away from my laptop, and there are no reminders for Tasks so it&#x27;s not easy to stay on top of things.<p>I wrote my first macOS App to solve the problem; Reminder Sync for Obsidian. It periodically scans your Obsidian Vault for Tasks and creates Reminders for them in Reminders.app! Once your Tasks are created as Reminders they are synced through iCloud so they are also visible on iOS; this solves the main problem I had with Obsidian Tasks, allowing me to keep on top of Tasks with system Reminders and Widgets on macOS and iOS.<p>Other features apart from the core functionality described above are:<p>- Creating a Reminder adds a Task to an Inbox note in your Obsidian Vault, allowing you to create Obsidian Tasks from iOS.<p>- Deleting&#x2F;Completing a Task in Reminders app completes&#x2F;deletes the Task in your Vault<p>The core functionality is free, and I believe the free version should be sufficient for most users. Paid features include increased automatic sync frequency, ability to delete tasks from Reminders.app and ability to generate a description for the Reminder.<p>The app is available on the App Store: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apple.co&#x2F;3TH1e5s" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apple.co&#x2F;3TH1e5s</a><p>You can view a demo video at the homepage: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;turquoisehexagon.co.uk&#x2F;remindersync&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;turquoisehexagon.co.uk&#x2F;remindersync&#x2F;</a><p>I would appreciate any feedback as it&#x27;s my first solo App release!

I use Obsidian daily, but my understanding of the app is terrible. I use it because it&#x27;s the best markdown editor I&#x27;ve found — I just edit separate .md files, many of which are essentially a &#x27;template&#x27; that contains a whole bunch of checkboxes.<p>Is there a good &#x27;starter guide&#x27; that I can use to get up to speed so I can start using Obsidian to track my notes, etc.? I&#x27;m very used to editing individual .md files for this kind of thing, but manually, and I get the impression Obsidian offers a bunch of benefits.

I love Obsidian - its approach, the ecosystem, and the implementation.<p>But... I can&#x27;t help but feel it will become the latest application to either pivot to something unpalatable (probably after being acquired) or become abandonware, leaving me to move to Yet Another Tool. And so it prevents me from really investing in any of it - I just use a no-frills text editor.

As in the other comments here, I use Obsidian but avoid making it tightly coupled with my workflows. I like the fact that I can walk away when needed.<p>I used reminders a lot earlier, but I have stopped using them these days. I continue to use Calendars and Notes. Between the two, the need for reminders has gone from my workflow. If I need reminding and have a date&#x2F;time, it is calendared. If I need a Checklist (Shopping), it is in a Note or part of a Note (e.g., Shared Shopping List with your partner).

Thank you, an excellent tool and works well so far. It was a nice easy setup, you already convinced me to purchase the lifetime pro to say thanks. Gotta support indie developers in an ecosystem I use.<p>A minor bug I noticed, you don&#x27;t have media controls on the demo video on your website. I had to right-click and select play, clicking the video didn&#x27;t start it either.

Is it possible to introduce a trial? I&#x27;d want to make sure that the features work as described and am curious how smooth this works when not using your Macbook often. Like whether it will sync them in the background when the laptop is closed. Should I simply buy and go for a refund via Apple if it doesn&#x27;t work out? Though I feel like this might be worse for you.<p>Tried it out just now as a free user and it synced thousands of completed reminders as `- [x] ...` for each. It&#x27;s hard to make the jump to pay for this when I cannot test it out fully.

This is really the missing puzzle piece for my Obsidian setup, and therefore was an insta-buy.<p>However important recomemndation though: I selected &quot;enable syncing&quot; in the onboard process and your app proceeded to sync <i>every</i> <i>single</i> task from my entire vault. I am watching the number climb into the hundreds. There should be some kind of warning that this will happen, and&#x2F;or some way to filter which tasks sync (ie: tags, or tasks in a specific note).

I wrote my own version of this - but ended up abandoning it for todoist. What I care about is that Obsidian is my “point of service” for all of my daily notes - but the actual management of todos seems better outside of the tool, rather then inside. As long as I can quickly and easily create tasks in notes, and display them in the correct output, using todoist to mange the backend seems reasonable to me.

Hi @rahilb, this sounds very intriguing; but I have a question regarding the In-App Purchases: what do these do? Is the app a trial that eventually requires a subscription or lifetime purchase?<p>I think what Obsidian with recent changes to their sorage sync fees is actually brilliant. I paid $8&#x2F;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 &amp; now they have a very low-grade $4&#x2F;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.<p>That said $9&#x2F;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.

Many apps lack a good means of triggering &quot;reminders&quot; on iOS and MacOs. Apple seems to keep the secret sauce to themselves. 3rd party apps just miss the mark IMO. However, the reminders app itself leave a lot to be desired. So something like this that ties a great app into what the native apps reminders is a great idea. Thank you for sharing!

I wish there was a way to syn from Apple Notes to Obsidian (or maybe there is?) Apple Notes is just faster and more convenient for daily notes, but I want Obsidian to be my repository, so I want some mechanism of automatically syncing certain notes or importing at some intervals.

Interesting. I’ve found ReminderCal’s approach to synching with the Calendar pretty novel and foolproof (basically use an action in Shortcuts to sync it it across when you close Reminders), and I’d be interested to know how your works.<p>That said, I’ve had many, many false starts with Obsidian, and I don’t think this is enough to tilt my workflows towards it again. The Apple Notes importer does not work with images or drawings, which kind of makes the thought of transitioning kind of moot.<p>Also, I can’t be trusted to not fiddle around as soon as I open my vault. Notes is much less customisable, but this is a wind for consistency and ‘stability’ when I open it up to <i>actually take notes</i>.

Very cool. Reminders is one of those Apple Apps that has proper API. So anyone can integrate with it.<p>I&#x27;ve build two apps on top of it: 1. macOS habits tracker <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;alto-computer&#x2F;id6478018751?mt=12" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;apps.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;alto-computer&#x2F;id6478018751?mt=...</a> 2. small web app to publish my daily habits online <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;public.me&#x2F;anton&#x2F;daily" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;public.me&#x2F;anton&#x2F;daily</a>

Thank you! This was something I was desperately looking for when I started using Obsidian. Already paid for the lifetime license :)<p>It&#x27;s unclear to me what happens if I run this on multiple machines. I have a few different machines that I use throughout the day but none are on &quot;24&#x2F;7&quot; so I&#x27;d love to install this everywhere so it&#x27;s always syncing. I&#x27;d love for that to be possible but I think either way it might be useful to document whether I can&#x2F;shouldn&#x27;t do that :)

I love Obsidian, but mostly use a filter (dataview) to deal with my tasks and overview. Most of the time on Windows and Linux. I do not use my macBook a lot. Only for testing the application we work on, so not very familiar with Reminders, though I like the idea. How do you properly link them up as they might go out of sync (loose relation) if one of the texts gets changed.

Feedback: - It works! and really easily too! Thank you - Things I wish it could do: Sync based on #tag #metadata. I use &#x27;Checklist&#x27; obsidian plugin and there&#x27;s check-boxes that I throw in and there&#x27;s &#x27;checklist&#x27; items with tag name (e.g., #TODO) that I use to actually collate things that are to-be-done.

Is anyone else experiencing issues with off-by-one dates? If I set a date of 2024-03-20 on an Obsidian task (today), I&#x27;m getting a Reminder out the other side with a due date of 2024-03-19 (yesterday).<p>Side note: it looks like the support email (remindersyncturquoisehexagon.co.uk) is malformed? Gmail is refusing to send emails to it.

How does this sync the other way? If you delete or complete a reminder or change the description do you get duplicates or do your changes get clobbered? What about conflicts? Does it matter if you make the changes in obsidian or reminders?<p>I guess I&#x27;m asking how fragile this is in practice.

Was it difficult to build? I&#x27;d like syncing with other task&#x2F;reminder providers from Obsidian

I would love to have exactly this but for Omnifocus! I currently do it with Shortcuts but is limited to one way sync which is very inconvenient. Having the task in context on Obsiadian but also nicely organized and actionable in a task manager is great.

Used obsidian for a while but had too many pains with it. Eventually migrated to SuperNotes and couldn’t be happier.

Why does no one use Logseq? I prefer it to Obsidian after using both
