Integration with Obsidian

[feedhopper]

I love this tool and would very much like to see an integration with Obsidian.
obsidian.md/
It is the best note-taking manager out there and uses the open markdown standard.

Ideal would be to have super-productivity as a plugin within Obsidian. This would solve the problem of having to access an external website in order to use and sync the tasks as Obsidian already offers sync to all platforms.

In addition to that, SP would greatly benefit from being exposed to a very big and growing global community.

If it is too much work to implement SP directly as a plugin, maybe you could consider a solution that makes easy sync between Obsidian and SP possible so that users can manage their tasks in Obsidian where the data for their work is contained.

I am an Obsidian user and I would love to integrate the two apps together too! Is it possible, Devs?

It's been a long time since I used Obsidian. It'd be more helpful If any of Obsidian-SP users can provide more details, or even diagrams for how SP should be integrated into Obsidian.

Your SP data is on your hard disk. Is it possible to sync it to Obsidian?

And even if it is, there're still a lot of questions:

• real time? certain time? on user's action
• one way or two way?

Are there any syncing plugins for Obsidian that I can refer to?

[Onsowon]

An integration would be great! With the depth that you have with, for example, Excalidraw.

I tried to open "https://app.super-productivity.com" with the "Custom Frames" plugin, but not even that.

SuperPro (cool workflow) on Obsidian (best possible environment) = Super Powers.

Upon further research, it seems like this integration, whatever form it takes, will send Super Productivity data (tasks) to Obsidian, and that probably fall outside the scope of Super Productivity 🤔.

If there were a way to configure SP to save/sync projects and tasks to a directory hierarchy of markdown files with YAML frontmatter (rather than syncing to a single JSON file, for instance), then you wouldn't really need to do anything for Obsidian users to feel like they were integrated! We could then point our SP sync to a directory that's inside our Obsidian vault, and both apps would be able to work with the same files.

I am an avid user of Obsidian and my workflow ties heavily with it. (From Project maintaining to future goals, From Book/Tutorial notes to Blog writing). When I discovered Super Productivity, I began to use it for several month with OpenProject Integration. As things get simplified and more straight forward, I totally moved totally from OpenProject (project tracking, git issues tracking, documentation, budget and task tracking) to Obsidian. My Initial thought to write a plugin for superProductivity that can pull only certain tags (e.g: #task) from obsidian and I can utilize pomodoro on those tasks. On completion of task it will inject the time to the exact location of that specific task on obsidian with checked thus simplifies more. But Js is not my taste at all. And angular is a messy heart attack for me. Seems like I am stuck here. Reverse plugin (Obsidian) can be written very easily where I can expose webhooks so that superProductivity can connect with obsidian. But superProductivity has no webhooks integration. And if I have to write obsidian plugin its better to implement the superProductivity style pomodoro into obisidian. One less app to open. Haha.

Hey there, if you're still up for such an obsidian plugin, I created a feature request on obsidian-tasks that might be of use : obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks#2502

I would love to have a Super Productivity integration in Obsidian.
SP could store the data in the Obsidian folder (or the online "Obsidian Sync") and I would have all my notes and tasks in Obsidian (and benefit from the Super Productivity features).
@johannesjo is this somehow possible or planned?

[johannesjo]

I think I found a good approach with the new plugin system. Stay tuned!

[aka-rider]

Something like that would be great. https://github.com/jamiebrynes7/obsidian-todoist-plugin

Bi-directional integration, basically.
This approach doesn’t impose a specific flow on users, so one could use Super Productivity to quickly add simple tasks on mobile (avoiding the heavy Obsidian vault loading), and plan medium to large projects in Obsidian—using, for example, Mermaid Gantt charts, documents from the knowledge base, PDF attachments.

The shared view matters, because in the end, execution time is shared.

I just discovered SP, and my first thought was "omg integrate this with Obsidian!" 😂

It would definitely need to be two-way sync, and there's probably two main avenues we'd be looking at... either "each task is a file" or "tasks are all over the place, in many different files". Personally, I use the latter, and I think that could totally work provided we have projects be treated as a file, since those would naturally contain multiple tasks and other notes. Seems like a place to start, anyway.

[johannesjo]

The latter case sounds very complicated to deal with and a bit individual tbh. and I will go down an easier route with the official plugin, but with the new plugin system, you should be able to build whatever you need.

[aka-rider]

For the latter, Obsidian has a tasks plugin with its own API

I use Obsidian religiously every day.

The job to be done here is to leverage obsidian and the learning and notes we have -- not just bloat the amount of apps to get on top of.

What I do is run a agentic RAG agent that knows me and my tasks, ideas, etc. I feed it whatever structured data -- JSON, YAML, folders of notes. And it makes a vector store, or a knowledge graph. So when I setup an agentic agent, it knows how to answer questions, and can make decisions as good as me I give it specific information.

What I want to do is feed a sort of agentic AI thats in cahrge of a ((process)) or ((project)) and it can update data, or make API calls to other apps like n8n to automate workflows, then it gets some sort of feedback loop -- like a daily tracker.

For example, setting a goal, giving to AI, and it makes progress and reports, and shared problems and what its working on. Local AI agents take a lot of power and ram, and are 100x more slow, but full control with Pydantic AI and other frameworks.

I am not a programmer, but vibe coding using github repos and it works for me. Just chiming in, though. Not sure how I can help.

I would like something akin to the Citations plugin. It parses a .bib file and lets you search through the references and create new notes/text snippets based on that data and a given template. To be able to do this with SP tasks within seconds, through a hotkey and a couple symbols, would be great.
