Went into a deep dive looking for Obsidian/Markdown/To-do-list widgets for my phone. A rather frustrating exercise.
* Todosian (Fdroid) - doesn't actually have a widget
* Obsidian ToDo Widget (Fdroid) - unmaintained, and has crashed people's systems; but it does appear to be working, huh? Only displays strict tasks. Limited to ONE widget. But that's okay. Manual refresh (okay, because It Works). Can actually cross off completed tasks in the widget (YES).
* Markdown Widget (Aurora) - doesn't actually provide a widget at all
* A Markdown Widget (Aurora) - nice widget, button to edit in Obsidian, but isn't refreshing the widget
* Markdown Memo Widget (Aurora) - requires GPS; when you hit refresh, it thinks the file is empty (or can't find it), when you edit it, it sees only the old cached version of the file, not the current one.
* VaultMate (Aurora) - only displays tasks which are explicitly scheduled for today. (annoying)
* TaskForge (Aurora) - widgets are a paid feature, not bothering.
Are there any Android widgets that I've overlooked?
