Settings

TaskNotes provides settings to customize its behavior and appearance. The settings are organized into tabs, each controlling a different aspect of the plugin.

← Back to Documentation

General

The General tab controls how TaskNotes recognizes tasks, where files are stored, and how task cards respond to clicks. This is the best place to start if your vault already has conventions you want TaskNotes to follow, such as custom task tags, property-based identification, or specific folder structures.

For more information, see the General Settings documentation.

Task Properties

Task Properties defines the schema TaskNotes writes to frontmatter, including status, priority, dates, reminders, projects, and user fields. Each property card lets you remap key names and behavior so TaskNotes can match existing metadata rather than forcing a migration.

For more detailed information, see the Task Properties Settings documentation.

Modal Fields

Modal Fields controls the task create/edit experience by deciding which fields are visible and in what order. If your workflow depends on a handful of fields, you can surface only those and reduce form noise.

For more information, see the Modal Fields Settings documentation.

Appearance & UI

Appearance & UI handles task card density, calendar defaults, time formatting, and visual toggles for supporting widgets. Use this tab to tune how much information is visible at a glance.

For more detailed information, see the Appearance & UI Settings documentation.

Features

Features groups behavior toggles for inline tasks, natural language input, Pomodoro, reminders, and performance-related options. It is where you enable advanced workflow capabilities and then refine defaults.

For more information, see the Features Settings documentation.

Integrations

Integrations covers external connectivity: Bases view wiring, Google/Microsoft OAuth calendar sync, ICS subscriptions, automatic ICS export, HTTP API settings, and webhook endpoints.

For more detailed information, see the Integrations Settings documentation.
