Task Nexus is more than a Gantt chart plugin

It is a complete project scheduling system โš™๏ธ โ€” for personal task management ๐Ÿ“ and team collaboration ๐Ÿ‘ฅ alike, giving you real time planning and progress tracking without leaving Obsidian.

It reads the standard Markdown - [ ] task syntax and renders every task as a visual Gantt chart, with multiple time scales, multi-project management and per-person scheduling, so you always see the whole picture.

Why teams choose Task Nexus

โŒ The old way
  • Tasks scattered across notes, no way to see the whole picture
  • Jumping between multiple tools just to manage one project
  • Manually maintaining Gantt charts โ€” slow, tedious, error-prone
  • Team scheduling in Excel, always out of date and out of sync
โœ… With Task Nexus
  • Open Obsidian and every task becomes a Gantt chart automatically
  • One plugin for scheduling, analytics and AI decomposition
  • Drag to reschedule; parent tasks aggregate their duration
  • Dashboards update live, so managers always see the full picture
