holos_logo3_right **An integrated productivity system for Obsidian that bridges the gap between big-picture life planning and daily execution.** Most productivity setups are fragmented — Google Calendar for scheduling, Obsidian for planning, a separate app for tasks. None of them connect "what am I focusing on this season of my life?" to "what am I actually doing today?" Holos fixes that with a three-tier system built entirely inside Obsidian, with everything stored in plain markdown files you can read and edit directly. --- ## Demo https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0adbb3cd-8ad8-48ba-8204-7a00708c6e39 --- ## How It Works ### Tracks and Projects Tracks define what you're focusing on in a current phase of life. Think of them as the high-level areas that matter to you right now — work, health, a side project, a relationship. Each track has its own color, journal header, and time commitment target. Projects live inside tracks and drill into specific areas you're actively working on. Each project has a start and end date, a description, recurring habits, and tasks to complete. image ### The Planning Grid The grid is where everything comes together. Each column is a day, each row is a track. This is your daily view — what you're doing today across every area of your life, all in one place. image Within each grid cell you can: - Add tasks using plain text formatting (inspired by markdown — type it, it renders when you click away) - Set time labels and durations on individual tasks - Track time commitment per cell, automatically tallied in the corner - Drag and drop tasks across days or within the same day - Navigate infinitely forward and backward through your history - Configure how many days are visible at once Every cell links back to a markdown file. Everything you see in the grid is real, editable plain text in your vault. --- ### Task Syntax image ``` - An event - [ ] A task - [-] Cancelled task - [x] Completed task - Event/task @ 10:00 [1 hr] - Event/task @ 23:00 [100 min] - [x] Half-completed [1/2 hr] ``` --- ## Installation Holos is not yet in the Obsidian community plugin registry. You can install it manually using [BRAT](https://github.com/TfTHacker/obsidian42-brat). 1. Install the BRAT plugin from the Obsidian community plugins 2. Open BRAT settings and click **Add Beta Plugin** 3. Enter the repository URL: `https://github.com/caasion/holos` 4. Enable Holos in your Obsidian plugin settings --- ## Status Holos is actively in development (v3.0.0, 500+ commits). It is stable and usable as a daily driver — I use it every day myself. Some features are still being built out, including deeper Google Calendar integration and project-to-grid linking. Issues, feedback, and contributions are welcome. --- ## Background Holos started as a personal tool built around my own frustrations. The design went through three complete iterations before landing on what exists today — not just because the architecture evolved, but because understanding how I wanted to organize my life and building the tool to do it had to happen together.
