Show HN: An Android app that scans your Obsidian notes to set reminders

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notifian&hl=en

I'm an on and off Obsidian user who recently came back to Obsidian again. As flexible as the app is, one thing it can't do is set notifications on mobile devices. The feature seemed to be in demand on forums, reddit, etc but it's not on the Obsidian roadmap. So I figured I'd create a free app to set notifications from your Obsidian notes!

It's called Notifian and it's a "companion app" for the Obsidian Android app. It scans your Obsidian vault folder and identifies reminder properties in your notes to set:

- An initial reminder date/time

- (optional) A recurring schedule for reminders

- (optional) A "stop on" date/time, to stop scheduling reminders

It runs these scans in the background on a recurring interval and, as a bonus, it also has support for the Obsidian "tasks" plugin's task format!

The app just got out of closed testing and onto the play store, so I'd love to get more feedback on it now that it's released!
