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

ReminderSync turns the tasks in your Markdown notes into real Apple Reminders. Works with Obsidian, Logseq, NotePlan, TaskPaper and any Markdown editor. Two-way sync, private, no account.

Write a task in Obsidian, Logseq, NotePlan or any Markdown editor. ReminderSync turns it into a real Reminder, with alerts, widgets, Siri and, via iCloud, your iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. Check it off on either side and both stay in sync. Plain Markdown checkboxes with due dates and priorities in your favourite format. No new syntax, no plugin, no separate app to feed. A tiny menu bar app scans your notes and creates matching Reminders, carrying due dates, scheduled dates and priorities across. Rules route folders to different lists.

    https://github.com/acheong08/obsidian-sync Hello HN, I'm a recent high school graduate and can't afford $8 per month for the official sync service, so I tried my hand at replicating the server. It's still missing a few features, such as file recovery and history, but the basic sync is working. To the creators of Obsidian.md: I'm probably violating the TOS, and I'm sorry. I'll take down the repository if asked. It's not ready for production and is highly inefficient; Not competition, so I hope you'll be lenient.
