Requirements
What you need
Keep it simple and reliable with these pieces.
Task Board plugin. Mandatory. Install it in Obsidian; it’s fast and actively maintained.
GitHub mirror. One repo with at least one synced file acts as an always-on task mirror.
Optional mobile Obsidian. With the mirror, you don’t have to run Obsidian on iOS for widgets to update.
iOS device. Add Topsidian widgets to your Home Screen for live tasks.
How it works
End-to-end flow
Task Board → GitHub mirror → Topsidian widgets.
Why GitHub. Avoids iOS sandbox quirks and keeps widget updates reliable.
Stay current. If you already sync Obsidian to GitHub, you’re done—no extra setup.
Flexible. Works even if you dislike Obsidian’s mobile UX; the mirror alone powers widgets.
Widgets first. Designed to live on your Home Screen so you see tasks without opening apps.
Lean. Small app footprint; focuses solely on tasks and reliable updates.
