Show HN: macOS Reminder Sync for Obsidian Tasks
Greetings, I started using Obsidian and the brilliant Obsidian
Tasks plugin to manage Tasks in my notes however it didn'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's not easy to
stay on top of things. 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.
Other features apart from the core functionality described above
are: - Creating a Reminder adds a Task to an Inbox note in your
Obsidian Vault, allowing you to create Obsidian Tasks from iOS. -
Deleting/Completing a Task in Reminders app completes/deletes the
Task in your Vault 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. The app is available on the App Store:
https://apple.co/3TH1e5s You can view a demo video at the
homepage: https://turquoisehexagon.co.uk/remindersync/ I would
appreciate any feedback as it's my first solo App release!

| That's actually integral to the notetaking/productivity app

| and you move on to the next one.
|
| Just like with self-help products. Targets of the self-help
| market are never intended to just read one or two books and get
| on with their lives. They're vulnerable to seemingly unending
| consumption of one self-help product after another. They're
| endlessly sold on regurgitated feel-good crap that keeps them
| coming back for more.
|
| These productivity tools, like self-help books, become the ends
| in themselves, rather than the means.
|
| I used to do the same thing with productivity & learning apps
| and systems. Kept procrastinating looking for that One Good
| Tool. I had this misconception that if I didn't have that one
| perfect notetaking tool or productivity app, then I'd be held
| back.
|
| I ultimately realized that what was really holding me back was
| myself.
|
| I eliminated my dependency on The One Perfect Tool, I replaced
| that dependency with more practical action, lightly supported
| by simple pen & paper and plain text files, and now I'm more
| productive and more learned than ever.

|
| - Completing a synced Reminder will complete the Task in

|
| - Creating a Reminder in the synced list creates a task in a
| note called "Reminder Sync Inbox.md"
|
| - Editing a Task in Obsidian and syncing deletes the previously
| associated Reminder and creates a new one (effectively updating
| the text in Reminders.app)
|
| The only known limitation (so far) is:
|
| - Editing a synced Reminder description in Reminders.app does
| not update the text of the Task in Obsidian: This is hard to
| solve as the original Task may contain embedded links (which
| are stripped to just the link text for the Reminder
| description). Syncing those edits back to Markdown is a
| difficult problem that I haven't bothered focused on yet as I
| feel it may not be solvable.
|
| In case of a conflict, the state in Obsidian always wins :)
