TaskNotes 4.3.3

Changed

• Published mdbase-tasknotes (mtn), a standalone CLI for managing tasks in markdown files via mdbase

  • Works on the same vault and _types/task.md schema that TaskNotes generates, without requiring the plugin or HTTP API
  • Preferable over tasknotes-cli as a lighter-weight alternative and when Obsidian is not running, on remote machines, or in scripts and CI environments
  • Supports natural language task creation, time tracking, project aggregation, statistics, and an interactive REPL

• Extracted shared natural language parsing logic into the standalone npm package tasknotes-nlp-core

  • The NLP parser and related language configuration are now shared through this package
  • This keeps behavior consistent between the plugin and CLI tools

Added

• (#1549) Added setting to reset markdown checkboxes when recurring tasks are completed

  • When enabled, all checked checkboxes (- [x]) in the task body are reset to unchecked when a recurring task instance is completed and rescheduled
  • Useful for recurring tasks with subtask checklists that need to be repeated each instance
  • Configurable via Settings > Features > Recurring Tasks > "Reset checkboxes on recurrence"
  • Thanks to @phortx for the feature request

• (#1548) Added ability to create calendar events on connected external calendars directly from the calendar view

  • When clicking or dragging to select a time slot, a new "Create calendar event" option appears in the context menu
  • Opens a modal to enter event title, description, location, and select which calendar to create on
  • Supports both Google Calendar and Microsoft Calendar providers
  • Thanks to @Robubble for the feature request

• (#1597) Added MCP server for AI agent integration

  • Exposes TaskNotes tools at /mcp endpoint, gated behind enableMCP setting
  • Supports tasks (CRUD, query, toggle status/archive, parse from text), time tracking, pomodoro, calendar events, and task statistics
  • Thanks to @dstotijn for the contribution

Fixed

• Fixed generated mdbase type definitions for task dependencies using the wrong field type

  • In _types/task.md, blockedBy[].uid now uses type: link (was type: string)
  • Better matches how dependency links are serialized in task frontmatter ([[...]])

• Fixed generated mdbase reminder type definitions to better match TaskNotes reminder data

  • In _types/task.md, reminders[].type now uses enum values absolute|relative
  • reminders[].relatedTo now uses enum values due|scheduled
  • reminders[].absoluteTime now uses type: datetime (was type: string)

• (#1597) Fixed webhook payloads for time tracking start-with-description containing stale data

  • Thanks to @dstotijn for the fix

• (#1581) Fixed Pomodoro starting break instead of work session after app restart

  • After completing a work session and restarting, pressing Start would incorrectly start a break
  • Now properly resets nextSessionType when clearing stale sessions or stopping the timer
  • Thanks to @Sirnii for the detailed bug report and root cause analysis

• (#1577) Fixed Edit Note/Task modal hiding action buttons when content exceeds viewport height

  • Added vertical scroll to modal content area while keeping buttons pinned at bottom
  • Thanks to @hossam-elshabory for reporting and @ivannin for helping in discussion

• (#1600) Fixed kanban view grouping not working when more than 20 views exist

  • The getGroupByPropertyId() method had a hardcoded loop limit of 20 iterations
  • Views at index 20 or higher would not be found, causing groupBy to return null
  • Thanks to @IHaveNoShame for reporting

• (#1595) Fixed task modal floating buttons blocking content on mobile

  • Added mobile-specific (body.is-mobile) CSS to ensure proper flex layout
  • Button container now stays pinned at bottom without overlapping scrollable content
  • Thanks to @Jomo94 for reporting

• (#1590) Fixed HTTP API not allowing blockedBy dependencies when creating tasks

  • Added blockedBy field support to TaskService.createTask()
  • Updated API documentation with blockedBy, recurrence, and reminders fields
  • Thanks to @hGriff0n for reporting

• (#1582) Fixed recurring tasks not appearing at end of visible calendar range for non-UTC timezones

  • Daily/weekly recurring tasks with times after ~1pm would disappear on the last day of the visible range for users in positive UTC offsets (e.g., UTC+11)
  • Fixed date boundary comparisons in both generateRecurringInstances() and generateRecurringTaskInstances() to compare dates only, not timestamps
  • Thanks to @benefitbug for reporting

• (#1580) Fixed Google Calendar sync failing after OAuth token expires with unhelpful error message

  • When refresh tokens expire or are revoked (e.g., Google Cloud project in Testing mode, user revoked access), the error message was confusing: "Failed to refresh google token: Request failed, status 400"
  • Now detects irrecoverable token errors (invalid_grant, invalid_client) and automatically disconnects the OAuth connection
  • Shows actionable error message: "Google Calendar connection expired. Please reconnect in Settings > Integrations."
  • Prevents repeated failed refresh attempts and error message spam
  • Thanks to @osxisl for reporting and @Naesue for helping in discussion

• (#1584) Fixed DOMTokenList error when task status values contain spaces

  • Clicking the status ring on a task card threw an error when status contained spaces (e.g., "In Progress")
  • Status and priority values are now sanitized before being used as CSS class names
  • Thanks to @omber for reporting
