An Obsidian plugin that deletes task lines shortly after their checkbox is ticked. Your notes keep only the tasks that still need doing — no graveyard of strikethroughs, no manual cleanup.
## Why
Most task workflows leave completed tasks in the file as `- [x]` lines. That's great if you want a historical log; it's noise if you want your notes to function like a todo app. Real Tasks removes that noise automatically while preserving undo.
## How it works
- When you check off a task in the editor, Real Tasks waits **800 ms**, then removes the whole line via the editor API. Undo (`Cmd/Ctrl-Z`) restores it.
- When a task gets completed programmatically — for example by Dataview checkbox clicks in an embedded query, or by a sync client — Real Tasks catches the `vault.modify` event, waits **400 ms**, and rewrites the file with the completed lines stripped out.
- A ribbon button and command insert a new `- [ ] ` task line at the cursor, ready to type.
