Over the past year, I have been gradually abandoning the other apps and tools I have used in my daily workflow, and replacing them with Obsidian. I am not sure I can do this with my calendar, however. This is quite devastating to me because calendars allow me to see how I spend my day at a glance, and therefore, are an essential part of my productivity system. I would love to know what your experiences have been with the full calendar plugin, or with using Obsidian as your calendar in general.
I use it and find it’s perfect for my use, and is very fast to add/remove/shift tasks around in. Since it just uses markdown files in a folder i can even use external programs to modify them or use the file itself to hold additional notes etc.
that said YMMV and i’d recommend giving it a test run for a day or so to see how it handles for you
I’m with you on wanting solid calendar integration. I’ve been looking for a integration with iCal (or iCloud or whatever) but haven’t found anything yet. I would rather trust a reliable calendar option (since syncing, alerts, etc are critical). Mainly I’d love simple sync with my core scheduling calendar to add that info to Obsidian as just sort of meta data of my day.
Interesting- Thank you for sharing. I think my use case is simple enough that I should not need another app and subscription. That being said, it looks nice. Thanks!
I get not wanting to use a lot of plugins in case they go away. But at some point, trying to not rely on anything gets counter productive. Be realistic in what you are going to use by all means. If the plugin has a large user base, it’s unlikely to vanish overnight.
