How does the expected workflow look like?

Looks very promising.

1. Could you please tell me on how does the reminder get the events specifically Should obsidian be always running or does it sync events whenever obsidian is opened?
2. will it also work on mobile devices?

Essentially, I am looking for a reminder system that is reliable as in can work as a daemon without Obsidian having to run in the background for myself as well as potentially for the plugin I'm maintaining.

Hey thanks for trying it and giving feedback, very useful to me to understand what use cases exists outside my personal one.
So let me try to answer.

1. The plugin scans for your Obsidian vault (either the whole vault or a specific folder from the settings) and look for two kind of deadlines:

• YAML Frontmatter: files that includes scheduled: or due: fields:
• Inline Tasks: Markdown tasks with date patterns like 2024-12-25 or due:: 2024-12-25

Right now Obsidian must be running for reminders to work, so when is closed no checks occur. Plugin checks at the start and then every defined period set in the settings (default is 30 mins, if I'm not wrong :) ).

2. I didn't use a lot the mobile app BUT, I've tested it right now and it works.

I very much understand your needs but I'm not so sure that this plugin should do what your looking for. Obsidian plugin runs within Obsidian application process and cannot execute when Obsidian is closed, they don't have daemon capabilities so you need a separate standalone app/service with system level permission and it should monitor Obsidian folder.
I mean, it's 'doable' but it's not what I would like to have for this specific plugin.
