Welcome to Operon: choose your starting point

Operon is a task and project management system that unifies inline tasks and file-based tasks in the same workflows, with filters, Calendar planning, Kanban boards, recurrence, pinned tasks, and time tracking, all inside your Obsidian notes. Where you should start depends on what you were doing before. This page points you to the right path so you do not read the whole set to begin.

Whatever path you take, the promise is the same: you need one task and one view to start. Everything else waits until you want it.

What were you using before?

Find your row and follow the first link. The extra links are there when you want the migration steps and a quick Q&A for your situation.

If you just want to start now

You do not have to read a welcome page at all. The shortest useful path is four steps: install, set a few basics, make one task, build one view. It is laid out in Getting started with Operon, with Create your first task and Build your first filtered view as the two hands-on steps.

Understand the shape first (optional)

If you would rather understand Operon before touching it, two short pages save confusion later: Operon system map tells you what each part is for, and Operon core concepts explains the one idea the whole system rests on. The unifying idea, two task shapes in one workflow, is in One workflow, two task shapes.

Want a guided week?

If you like structure, Operon ships a day-by-day setup project in its demo workspace, and Your first 7 days with Operon is the written companion that walks you through it.

FAQ

Which lane if I used both Tasks and TaskNotes? Start with the one that holds most of your current tasks, then use the other lane's migration page for the rest.

Do I have to migrate anything to begin? No. You can start fresh with one new task and bring old work over later, line by line or folder by folder.

I am not sure I was using any system. Then you are the new user. Start with New or plain checkboxes.
