Mobile usage

I primarily use Obsidian on the desktop, and use Task Zero on my phone as a secondary device for browsing the tasklist and checking off tasks.

I also have a mobile quick capture script set up on Android. This allows me to instantly enter tasks without having to open Obsidian first.

Due to the keyboard-first nature of Task Zero, I’m not sure what else people would want in the mobile view, so I’ll wait for feedback and feature requests.

Mobile quick capture

I’m using Automate on Android, but I’m sure you can do this with MacroDroid and Tasker too.

This is the Automate flow, very simple:

I tell Obsidian to launch, and then pop up the input box for my new task. By the time I’ve finished typing the task, Obsidian is already opened and syncing away. This has completely solved any sync-related quick-add issues for me.

Here is the exported Automate flow if you want to import it:
