Checkbox Sync for Obsidian

Checkbox Sync is an Obsidian plugin that helps automate the management of checkbox states within hierarchical lists (parent ↔ children synchronization).

It automatically updates parent checkboxes based on their children's state, and optionally cascades changes from parent to children, providing flexibility for managing task lists and nested checklists.

Example: Parent checkbox automatically reflects child completion status.
