OBSD Dashboard

A dashboard view for Obsidian with draggable widgets and Dataview-powered data.

How to use

After installing and enabling the plugin, open the dashboard with one of these options:

1. Click the dashboard icon in Obsidian’s left ribbon (Open OBSD Dashboard).
2. Run the command “Open Dashboard” from the Command Palette.
3. (Optional) Enable Open dashboard on startup in plugin settings.

Then: 2. Click the three dots menu and choose Edit dashboard. 3. Use the dashed + Add widget tile to add widgets. 4. Click Edit on a widget to configure it.

Task widget (tasks from tagged files)

The Task widget shows tasks found inside files that match your filters.

Example note:

---
tags: [project]
---

- [ ] Prepare slides
- [ ] #urgent Send agenda

Recommended filter:

• Filter 1 tags: project
• Filter 1 folders: (optional) Projects/2026

This shows tasks only from files tagged #project. If you add a folder, it becomes “tags in folder”. Add multiple filters to combine them with OR.

Check off tasks by clicking the checkbox in the widget. The plugin updates the markdown file.

Pie/Line chart widgets

Charts can either group files by a field or use custom series filters.

Group by (simple mode)

• Chart data mode: Group by field
• Filter tags/folders: optional
• Group by: Tag / File / Folder

This lets you compare how many files match each group.

Series mode (custom filters)

• Chart data mode: Series (Filters)
• Each series can count Files or Tasks

Example series:

• Series 1: Filter tags studium, count tasks
• Series 2: Filter tags personal, count tasks

Settings

• Open dashboard on startup — automatically opens the dashboard when Obsidian starts.

Notes

• Dataview must be installed and enabled. Without it, widgets show empty results.
