In simple English

This tool turns your notes into a visual calendar inside Obsidian. You can drag your tasks around to schedule them at different times of the day. It works alongside popular task plugins you might already use. You need the Dataview plugin installed for it to read your notes. It is free to use and runs entirely on your own device.

What it is

An Obsidian community plugin that combines a nested task list with a time-blocking calendar view. It reads metadata from multiple formats like Dataview, Tasks, and Day Planner.

What it is good for

Solo builders who use Obsidian for daily planning and want to drag tasks onto a visual timeline without leaving their note vault.
