Pushing the Vault to TickTick — Closing the Loop Between Obsidian and Task Management

Thu, 28 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The vault knows everything. It has the lesson schedule, the practice sessions, the quiz material. TickTick is where the day actually runs — it sits in the calendar, it sends reminders, it blocks time. For a while those two lived separately, and any reschedule meant updating both by hand.

Today that gap is closed.

The Problem

Obsidian is the source of truth for the learning plan. But TickTick is what I actually look at during the day. When a lesson moved, I’d update the calendar note in Obsidian and then forget to touch TickTick. Or update TickTick and leave the vault behind. Either way, something was always out of sync.

Every learning system needs somewhere tasks live. I went through three tools in fairly quick succession, and each one taught me something useful.

TickTick — The Comfortable Choice

I started with TickTick because I already knew it. Simple interface, good mobile app, doesn’t require an hour of setup to get started. For general life tasks it’s perfectly good.

The problem was the edges. TickTick doesn’t connect naturally to Obsidian. There’s no clean way to link a task in TickTick to a note in Obsidian, and no way to query TickTick tasks from inside the vault. Every time I finished a lesson and wanted to log it, I was switching apps, copying information, doing the same thing twice.
