    Eisenhower, kanban, and timeline views in Obsidian

    The same Markdown tasks can be scanned as a list, grouped on a board, laid out on a timeline, or opened in the Eisenhower view. Day, week, and month are calendar scales. Schedule is a separate date entry. LifeOS Pro includes these planning features. Calendar Pro is also available as a standalone calendar plugin.

    For external calendars, see the Calendar Pro and Full Calendar Remastered comparison. First decide whether your main need is managing Markdown tasks or viewing external events.

    What each view is for

    The task view doc says list, timeline, and kanban are three presentations of one workspace. The active one is highlighted.

    ViewDocumented use
    ListSearch, sort, and complete tasks one by one
    KanbanGroup by status, due date, priority, or tag
    TimelineSee when work sits, and set start and end
    ScheduleA separate entry for arrangements by date
    Day / week / monthPlan time on the calendar
    EisenhowerThe homepage and the Calendar Pro comparison call it a separate entry for important versus urgent

    Filters follow the calendar’s global filter. Checking a task rewrites - [ ] to - [x]. Remote events are another layer. Setup is in iCloud and Google CalDAV.

    License

    Calendar Pro is the license when you want these views and remote calendars without the periodic-note system. LifeOS Pro already includes calendar planning. Prices and the split are in Free vs Pro. Check current LifeOS Pro pricing and Calendar Pro pricing before purchasing.

    Questions before buying

    Does changing views copy my tasks?

    List, timeline, and kanban are presentations of the same task workspace. Local tasks remain in their source Markdown notes. Completing a task writes back to its original checkbox. Editing remote calendar events depends on their source.

    Do I have to connect Google or iCloud Calendar?

    No. Start with local Markdown tasks. Configure CalDAV when you need external events or phone reminders.

    Do task planning and calendars require AI?

    No. Those features work independently. AI features and their DeepAsk license are a separate option.

    Where should I start?

    Read the task workspace walkthrough to see the interface and how tasks relate to source notes. These Pro views require an activated license. Before purchasing, read Free vs Pro or contact the author with the task you want to handle.
