Markdown Task Tracker

Markdown Task Tracker is a VS Code extension that helps you track your task progress across markdown files in your workspace. It provides a dedicated view in the Activity Bar to visualize your task completion status at a glance.

Features

📂 Hierarchical Tree View

Tasks are organized by your workspace's folder structure. Folders aggregate the progress of all markdown files within them, helping you see the overall status of different projects or components.

🔍 Flexible Checkbox Detection

Works with all common markdown checkbox styles! It detects [], [ ], and [x] whether they are part of a standard list (-, *, 1.) or just free-standing in your text.

🎨 Color-coded Progress

Visual feedback from red to green:

• Red: 0% completed
• Orange: 1% - 39% progress
• Yellow: 40% - 69% progress
• Blue: 70% - 99% progress
• Green: 100% completed! Progress percentages are displayed as badges next to filenames and folders.

🔄 Automatic Updates

The view refreshes automatically whenever you save a markdown file, keeping your progress up to date in real-time.

Installation

1. Install the Markdown Task Tracker from the VS Code Marketplace.
2. Click the MD Tasks icon in the Activity Bar on the left side of your editor.
3. Your markdown files containing task checkboxes will automatically appear in the tree view.

Extension Settings

You can exclude specific paths from task tracking by adding them to the mdTaskTracker.excludePaths setting in your settings.json.
