Obsidian Maid

voidmap but on Obsidian instead.

How to setup

• Download obsidian-maid.zip from the releases page.
• Create a folder named path/to/your/vault/folder/.obsidian/plugins/obsidian-maid and unzip it.
• Turn on the Maid plugin on your obsidian editor (restart might be required, haven't tested that).
• It's likely you will need to unbind Graph View in your settings, or bind the Maid actions to different keys than the defaults.

Micro-tutorial

Consider maid as automation on top of markdown checklists. It does not attempt to force a specific organization strategy on those lists, other than each checklist item is a task.

Tasks can have priorities attached to them with the %prio=N syntax, where N is a number.

Use CTRL+G to jump to a random task, weighted by priority. Higher priority means it's more likely to be selected.

• If a task has no priority set, the default priority is 0. This is configurable.

Use CTRL+M to toggle the completeness of a task.

There is a widget in the lower right corner which shows overall task completion progress

Here is an example of a TODO list

- [ ] task 1 %prio=1
- [ ] task 2 %prio=30
- stuff
  - [ ] task 3
