Okay, with the latest Actions For Obsidian update (2025.1.1) and today's BarCuts update (2025.5) out of the way, I can finally start building that local CRM based on #Obsidian + Apple Contacts + #Shortcuts.

Bit weird, yeah, but hell – a local CRM that syncs to macOS address book, that's a cool idea! In theory 😉

I'll keep you posted.

My #Obsidian + Contacts + #Shortcuts mini #CRM is making good progress. This is fun. I had hoped that I would be able to only use core plugins for it, but Bases alone doesn't cut it – no way to get the vault name inside a Bases document, it seems, which is vital for what I'm trying to do. So… Bases + Dataview, then.

Still early days 😅

@czottmann What about Apple Reminders integration with as the Task Notes plugin, is that possible?

@timfidd No idea, haven't looked into that yet, but tasks are a minefield of complexity, so I doubt it'll be doable in a reliable way.

@czottmann Yes understood, but Task Notes has a Rest API and a task note is a single note with the task details as properties, so theoretically shortcuts could pull the data from Task Notes and also Reminders and then somehow sync??? A big ask I’m sure.

@timfidd Probably. I won't go there myself, though. 🤷🏼‍♂️

@czottmann But if achievable, a big win.
