TaskForge turns the Markdown to-do list in your vault into a real app: it reads and writes your task files, keeps everything on your device, and works with the Obsidian Tasks and TaskNotes formats you already use.

KEY FEATURES
══════════════════════

◆ REAL PUSH NOTIFICATIONS
Get notified when tasks are due. Set multiple reminders per task.

◆ HOME SCREEN WIDGETS
See Obsidian tasks without opening any app. Check off tasks from widgets. Widgets for Today, Overdue, #tags, or any saved filter.

◆ CALENDAR & KANBAN VIEWS
See tasks by due date, scheduled date, or start date. Connect your device calendars to view and manage events alongside tasks. Kanban board with drag-and-drop.

◆ FULL OBSIDIAN TASKS COMPATIBILITY
Works with Obsidian Tasks plugin format. Due/scheduled dates, priorities, tags, and recurrence are all supported.

◆ TASKNOTES SUPPORT
TaskForge reads and writes TaskNotes YAML format with customizable field mapping.

HOW IT WORKS
══════════════════════

1) Choose your Obsidian vault folder (internal, SD card, or sync folder)
2) TaskForge scans your Markdown files to discover tasks
3) Manage tasks in the app and from widgets; changes write back to your files
4) Real-time file monitoring keeps lists current

══════════════════════
FILE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS & "ALL FILES ACCESS"
══════════════════════

TaskForge is a DOCUMENT & FILE MANAGEMENT app for Markdown task files used with Obsidian. Its core purpose is to LOCATE, READ, EDIT, and ORGANIZE Markdown (.md) task files across user-selected folders in shared storage (internal, SD card, or sync folders). To do this, TaskForge requires Android's special "All files access" (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). Without this permission, the app cannot perform its core file-management functions.

TaskForge functions as a specialized FILE MANAGER for your Markdown task files. The app must:
• Read files in user-selected folders (outside app storage)
• Process large, nested folders with many Markdown files
• Write updates back to ORIGINAL files when you create, edit, or complete tasks
• Monitor files for real-time changes

WHY "ALL FILES ACCESS" IS NEEDED
Obsidian vaults can live anywhere (internal storage, SD card, 3rd-party sync roots). To provide persistent, real-time file management across these locations, TaskForge requests MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and operates on the folder you choose. We DO NOT upload or collect your files; data stays on device.

══════════════════════
PRIVACY & COMPATIBILITY
══════════════════════

• No data collected; works offline after setup
• Works alongside your sync solution (Syncthing, FolderSync, Drive, Dropbox, etc.)
• Your files remain plain-text Markdown and fully portable
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by Obsidian.md, OpenAI, or Anthropic

══════════════════════
