Obsidian Bases

By Steph Ango (Kepano / Obsidian)

Create database views over your Obsidian notes to track projects, tasks, and reading lists.

DingTalk Calendar

• Creates calendar events with attendees and descriptions
• Checks availability of colleagues across time ranges
• Finds and books available meeting rooms
• Updates or deletes existing calendar events
• Searches for user contact information in your organization

Obsidian Bases

• Creates table, card, list, or map views of your notes based on filters you set
• Lets you group and sort notes by any property (status, date, tags, folders)
• Calculates fields automatically like days until deadline or price totals
• Shows summaries like averages, sums, and counts across your filtered notes
• Works with your existing Obsidian notes without changing how you write them
