Vault Tasks

Vault Tasks is an Obsidian plugin that gathers Markdown tasks from across the vault into one organized view.

I built it because I wanted a global task list that stays lightweight and native to Obsidian instead of turning the vault into a separate task system. Vault Tasks pulls everything into one place, keeps it organized, and lets me act on tasks without losing the context of the notes they came from.

What it does

• Collects tasks from across the entire vault into one place
• Groups tasks by note and optionally by section
• Filters by pending, completed, or all tasks
• Filters by section name across notes
• Keeps pinned notes at the top of the list
• Adds quick note and task actions through inline controls and context menus
• Supports note-level defer and hide behavior
• Writes task changes back to the original notes

The settings pane covers vault-wide defaults such as open location, filters, related notes, folder scope, sorting, and task-status actions, so the view can match how a particular vault is organized.
