# Views
TaskNotes provides multiple views for managing tasks and tracking productivity. All task-focused views operate as `.base` files located in the `TaskNotes/Views/` directory and require Obsidian's Bases core plugin to be enabled.
2025-06-29 02:25:19 +00:00
For details on Bases integration and how to enable it, see [Core Concepts](core-concepts.md#bases-integration). For view templates and configuration examples, see [Default Base Templates](views/default-base-templates.md).

## Task-Focused Views
2025-06-29 02:25:19 +00:00
Task-focused views are different entry points into the same underlying task notes. The [Task List View](views/task-list.md) is a common starting view for day-to-day planning because it exposes filters, sorting, and grouping in list format.
When you want workflow by status, [Kanban View](views/kanban-view.md) organizes cards into columns and can optionally add swimlanes for an extra organizational layer. [Calendar Views](views/calendar-views.md) are useful when schedule and timing matter more than backlog shape, with month/week/day/year/list modes plus drag-and-drop scheduling and time-block support.
[Agenda View](views/agenda-view.md) is a preconfigured list-oriented calendar layout designed for short-horizon planning, while [MiniCalendar View](views/calendar-views.md#mini-calendar-view) gives a compact month heatmap and fast keyboard navigation.

docs: Restructure and streamline documentation for improved clarity • Removed outdated/redundant docs files:  – Deleted "docs/concepts-rationale.md" and "docs/creating-editing-tasks.md" which duplicated content now integrated into core-concepts and task management documentation.  – Removed "docs/features/natural-language.md" and "docs/features/time-tracking.md" as their content has been merged or rephrased in other feature docs.  – Deleted the legacy "docs/views/task-view.md" to avoid overlap with the new Task List View documentation. • Revised core concept and feature documents:  – Updated "docs/core-concepts.md" to better explain the “note-per-task” approach and YAML frontmatter benefits.  – Streamlined "docs/features.md" and its subpages (Inline Task Integration, Calendar Integration, and the new Time Management doc) to reflect a unified, concise explanation of TaskNotes’ feature set.  – Refined inline task, calendar, and settings docs (including advanced, inline task, and task defaults) for consistent language and structure. • Introduced new documentation:  – Added "docs/features/time-management.md" to clearly outline time tracking, Pomodoro timer, and productivity analytics.  – Created "docs/views/task-list.md" to complement the suite of views now including Agenda, Kanban, Notes, Calendar, and Pomodoro views. • General improvements:  – Reworded and reorganized sections across multiple docs to enhance readability and better align with the new design philosophy.  – Consolidated similar topics and removed duplicate descriptions to simplify the overall documentation structure.   These changes improve the organization, clarity, and maintainability of the TaskNotes documentation, making it easier for users to understand the core concepts and features.

[Pomodoro View](views/pomodoro-view.md) supports focused intervals directly inside Obsidian, and [Pomodoro Stats View](views/pomodoro-view.md#pomodoro-stats-view) summarizes completed sessions so you can see pace and consistency over time.
