Quick-and-dirty Scriptable (https://scriptable.app/) script to show a medium widget with today's tasks from Obsidian, for my set up (today is in journal/YYYYMMDD.md, tasks are under the `### Plan` heading). Optionally pass "tomorrow" as widget arg to render tomorrow (if it doesn't exist it will fail of course)

obsidianTodayWidget.js

let when = args.widgetParameter || 'today'

let now = new Date()
if (when == 'tomorrow') {
    now.setDate(now.getDate() + 1);
}
let formatter = new DateFormatter()
formatter.dateFormat = 'yyyyMMdd'
let today = formatter.string(now)


const journalBookmark = "journal"
const journalPath = "journal"
const obsidianURL = `obsidian://open?file=${journalPath}/"${today}.md`

let items = await loadList(today, journalBookmark)
let widget = createWidget(items, today, obsidianURL)

if (config.runsInWidget) {
    Script.setWidget(widget)
    Script.complete()
} else {
    widget.presentMedium()
}

async function loadList(today, journalBookmark) {
    const fm = FileManager.iCloud()
    const file = fm.bookmarkedPath(journalBookmark) + "/" + today + ".md"
    const download = fm.downloadFileFromiCloud(file)
    return download.then(() => {
        let lines = fm.readString(file)
        let found = false
        let items = []
        for (let line of lines.split('\n')) {
            if (found && line.startsWith("- [")) {
                let newline = line.replace("- [x]", "✓")
                newline = newline.replace("- [ ]", "☓")
                items.push(newline)
            }
            if (line.includes("### Plan")) found = true
        }
        return items
    })
}



function createWidget(items, today, obsidianURL) {
    let clippedItems = items
    if (clippedItems.length > 5) {
        clippedItems = clippedItems.slice(0, 5)  
        clippedItems.push("…")
    }
    console.log(clippedItems)
    let w = new ListWidget()
    w.url = obsidianURL
    let titleStack = w.addStack()
    let title = titleStack.addText(today)
    title.font = Font.boldSystemFont(17)
    title.textColor = Color.white()
    w.addSpacer(4)
    let stack = w.addStack()
    stack.layoutVertically()
    for (let item of clippedItems) {
        let line = stack.addText(item)
        line.textColor = Color.white()
    }
    return w
}
