The Tokei plugin introduces a customizable clock feature to Obsidian, allowing users to view and manage timezones directly within their workspace. It provides options to personalize the clock's layout and appearance using custom CSS snippets. Users can add multiple timezones by entering names or offsets in UTC format, with support for fractional offsets like +5.5. The plugin also includes an alternative style snippet for experimentation. Tokei's drag-and-drop functionality enables users to position the clock conveniently within their setup, enhancing productivity by keeping track of global times.

The Time Things plugin enhances time management and tracking in Obsidian by displaying a customizable clock in the status bar and integrating time-related metadata into note frontmatter. It records the last modified timestamp and tracks editing durations for individual notes, with options to display this data in the status bar. Advanced users can enable custom frontmatter handling for instant updates without disrupting workflows. This plugin is ideal for users who want to monitor their editing habits and maintain precise time records within their notes.
