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…

In plain words

Reminder Sync for Obsidian is a macOS app that bridges Obsidian Tasks and Apple Reminders. It periodically scans an Obsidian vault for tasks and syncs them to Reminders.app, making them accessible across iOS and macOS via iCloud. The app also allows users to create tasks in Obsidian from iOS devices by adding reminders. Designed for Obsidian Tasks users who need mobile access and system notifications for their task management.

In the maker’s words, at launch

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!
