**Checkbox Sync** is an [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) plugin that helps automate the management of checkbox states within hierarchical lists (parent ↔ children synchronization).

It automatically updates parent checkboxes based on their children's state, and optionally cascades changes from parent to children, providing flexibility for managing task lists and nested checklists.
