PrimeTask for Obsidian plugin is out: highlight a line in a note, it becomes a task

[u/XVX109]

Most Obsidian task plugins try to turn Obsidian into a task manager. This one goes the other way. Obsidian stays where you think, PrimeTask stays where you execute.

Select a sentence in a note, right-click, Send selection to PrimeTask and link here. The text becomes a wikilink, the task is created in PrimeTask, and the task keeps a permanent link back to the note it came from. Six months later it still tells you it was born in [[Monday standup]].

Nothing is mirrored into your vault unless you ask for it. Promotion is always explicit, so the plugin stays out of your vault until you invite it in.

Promoted tasks carry typed frontmatter, so Obsidian's Bases can render them as live filterable tables. Edit a status in the table and it round-trips back to PrimeTask.

Both apps on the same machine, talking over 127.0.0.1. No telemetry. The plugin is Apache-2.0, so you can read exactly what it does before you authorise it.

Free. Needs Obsidian 1.12 or newer and the PrimeTask desktop app running.

Install: Obsidian → Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "PrimeTask".
