Wake is a keyboard-first task manager for Obsidian that maintains a self-contained task database inside the plugin. Your vault stays clean, your tasks stay searchable, and your history stays forever.
Capabilities
Wake pulls your most important tasks out of the background noise and into a beautifully structured, keyboard-first workflow.
Tasks are safely stored in a local data.json file. Wake never scans, parses, or modifies your actual Markdown notes.
Every action has a keyboard binding. Add tasks with Ctrl+Shift+T, open the palette with Ctrl+K, and navigate with `j`/`k`.
Six automatic lists in the sidebar (Active, Today, Overdue, This Week, No Date, Logbook) group and sort your tasks automatically.
Advanced recurrence engine supporting natural syntax like every:day, every:week, and every:monday.
Workflow
Press Ctrl+Shift+T anywhere in Obsidian to open the universal quick-add input bar.
Type your task naturally. Add due:tomorrow, a priority like !2, and link to existing notes with [[Note]].
Hit enter. Wake parses your string and seamlessly slots the task into the correct Smart List in the background.
