A full-featured project planner for Obsidian based on Microsoft Premium Planner.
- Grid View — Hierarchical task table with parent/child subtasks, inline editing, drag-and-drop row reordering, and configurable columns
- Board View — Kanban board with custom buckets, drag-and-drop cards, and collapsible completed sections
- Timeline View — Gantt-style chart with resizable task bars, dependency arrows (FS/SS/FF/SF), and synchronized scrolling
- Dashboard — Project KPIs, completion progress, priority/due-date alerts, effort summary, and budget/cost cards
- Dependency Graph — Interactive node-based visualization of task dependencies with HiDPI canvas rendering
- My Tasks — Cross-project aggregation of tasks due today (table mode) or this week (Outlook-style 7-day column layout)
- Task Detail Panel — Full editing of status, priority, dates, tags, links, description, subtask checklist, effort, cost, and dependencies
- Custom statuses, priorities, and tags with configurable colors
- Bucket assignment independent of task status
- Task dependencies — Four types (Finish-to-Start, Start-to-Start, Finish-to-Finish, Start-to-Finish) with dependency-driven auto-scheduling
- Parent task roll-up — Dates, effort, % complete, and cost automatically calculated from subtasks (MS Project style)
- Deep links to tasks via Obsidian URI protocol
- Microsoft Planner-style effort system — Completed hours, remaining hours, total, duration, and % complete
- Smart auto-sync — Entering completed hours auto-deducts remaining; marking a task complete moves all remaining into completed
- Effort columns in Grid View — % Complete, Effort Done, Effort Left, Effort Total, Duration (inline-editable)
- Per-task cost — Fixed amount or hourly rate × effort hours
- Project budget settings — Total budget, default hourly rate, and currency symbol per project
- Grid View cost columns — Est. Cost and Actual Cost (toggleable)
- Dashboard budget card — Progress bar with color thresholds (green → yellow → red), Estimated/Actual/Remaining KPIs
- Cost Report modal — Breakdown by bucket, status, or priority with totals and variance; over-budget task list
- Bidirectional markdown sync — Tasks sync to/from YAML frontmatter in markdown notes (status, dates, effort, tags, etc.)
- Daily note task scanning — Tag tasks in daily notes (e.g.,
#planner) to automatically import them into projects - Project hub notes and task notes for Obsidian graph navigation
- Column show/hide with checkmark menu
- Drag-and-drop column reordering with persistent order
- Column resizing with double-click auto-fit
- Inline editing for titles, statuses, priorities, dates, effort, and tags
- Right-click context menu — Add above/below, make subtask, promote, delete, open detail
- Multi-project support with project switcher in the header
- Customizable ribbon icons — Toggle visibility of Grid, Dashboard, Board, Graph, and Daily Note Scan icons
