tugtile
**A card table for your Markdown notes.**
Tug tiles to reorder. tugtile lays your notes out as a board of cards and lets you drag them into place — and it reads the kanban boards you already have, so there is nothing to migrate.
How it works
1.
Open a board
Point tugtile at any note. It reads existing Obsidian Kanban boards as-is — and its own tugtile format — so your columns and cards show up without conversion.
2.
Tug to reorder
Drag tiles between columns or within one. On iPad every edit opens as a modal, so reordering works the same by touch as by mouse.
3.
Switch the view
Cycle the same note between board, table, and a hand-written Markdown view. Lock the board to make every view read-only when you only want to look.
What's inside
Reads your kanban
Opens existing Obsidian Kanban boards with no migration, and offers a one-tap upgrade to the cleaner tugtile format when you are ready.
CJK-friendly
Built and dogfooded in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean — full-width punctuation, wrapping, and card widths behave the way CJK notes need.
Three views, one note
Board, table, and a self-written Markdown editor cycle over the same file, with a central lock that makes the whole board read-only.
Pairs with marktile
Shares an editor core with marktile, the companion Markdown editor — the same engine drives the cards and the prose.
Tug, don't migrate
tugtile is MIT-licensed; its sister plugin marktile is the same editor as a standalone Markdown pane. Install it from Obsidian's community plugins, or read the source on GitHub.
