Completed Task Display

This is a plugin for Obsidian that allows you to toggle the display of completed tasks in markdown preview mode.

Features

• Ribbon button to hide/show completed tasks globally.
• Exception symbols: define symbols that should be treated as not completed (e.g. ! so - [!] stays visible).
• Invert rule: optionally hide only items whose checkbox symbol matches the list (e.g. hide all - [!]).

Demo

How to install

In Obsidian go to Settings > Third-party plugins > Community Plugins > Browse and search for Completed Task Display.

Manual installation

Unzip the latest release into your <vault>/.obsidian/plugins/ folder.

Settings

• Unchecked symbols: comma- or space-separated symbols. Normal mode keeps these visible; with Invert rule enabled, these are hidden. Applies to both reading and source (Live Preview) views.
• Invert rule: when enabled, the list works as a hide-list instead of a keep-list.

Notes

• In Obsidian reading view, any non-space checkbox marker is considered “checked” by default. This plugin respects your symbols list to keep them visible (normal) or hide them (invert).
