TaskForge is a DOCUMENT & FILE MANAGEMENT app for Markdown task files used with Obsidian. Its core purpose is to LOCATE READ EDIT and ORGANIZE Markdown (.md) task files across user-selected folders in shared storage (internal SD card or sync folders). To do this TaskForge requires Android's special "All files access" (MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE). Without this permission the app cannot perform its core file-management functions.

FILE SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
══════════════════════

TaskForge functions as a specialized FILE MANAGER for your Markdown task files. The app must:
• Read files in user-selected folders (outside app storage)
• Process large nested folders with many Markdown files
• Write updates back to ORIGINAL files when you create edit or complete tasks
• Monitor files for real-time changes

WHY "ALL FILES ACCESS" IS NEEDED
Obsidian vaults can live anywhere (internal storage SD card 3rd-party sync roots). To provide persistent real-time file management across these locations TaskForge requests MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE and operates on the folder you choose. We DO NOT upload or collect your files; data stays on device.
