Prioritize your tasks by urgency and importance, right inside Obsidian. Based on the classic Eisenhower Matrix method.
Features
| Feature | Description |

| 4-quadrant matrix | Do, Schedule, Delegate, Eliminate — the classic Eisenhower layout |
| Task completion | Check off tasks with a single click — completed items move to a collapsible bin with timestamps |
| Revive or delete | Uncomplete a task to send it back to its quadrant, or delete it permanently |
| Drag and drop | Move tasks between quadrants on desktop. Long-press to drag on mobile |
| Due dates | Relative formatting (Today, Tomorrow, 3 days ago) with overdue highlighting |
| Inline editing | Click any task to edit its title or due date in place |
| Task count badges | Each quadrant header shows the number of active tasks at a glance |
| Undo on actions | Delete or complete a task by accident? A 5-second toast lets you undo instantly |
| Overflow scrolling | Quadrants scroll individually when overloaded — with a color-matched fade indicator |
| Syncs across devices | Works with Obsidian Sync — tasks update automatically on all devices |
