The Update time on edit plugin automatically tracks and updates file metadata in Obsidian, ensuring accurate timestamps for file creation and last modification. It maintains synchronization between Obsidian's internal file data and metadata properties, with default keys set to 'created' for creation time and 'updated' for modification time. Users can customize the date format and choose between string or Unix timestamp formats. The plugin can exclude specific folders from updates, which is useful for templates or other files that should remain unchanged. It works on both desktop and mobile versions of Obsidian, and it updates metadata even when files are changed from external sources. This ensures that file timestamps remain accurate across different devices and editing environments.
The Task Marker plugin enhances task management in Obsidian by allowing users to assign distinct statuses to tasks and append timestamps for better organization and tracking. With customizable hotkeys and a right-click context menu, users can quickly update task statuses such as open, completed, or transferred directly within their notes. This plugin helps highlight important items like action points, questions, or follow-ups, making it easier to review and prioritize tasks in extensive notes. By integrating time-based tracking, Task Marker provides clarity and streamlines workflows, ensuring users stay focused on what truly matters.
The Relative Timestamps plugin is designed to automatically display the time difference between two entries in your Obsidian notes, which is particularly useful for food logs, diaries, or any note where time gaps between entries may be significant. The plugin allows users to set a reference timestamp and insert the current time along with the elapsed time since the last entry. This feature helps users quickly grasp the time span between entries without needing to manually calculate or remember the intervals. The plugin is currently basic in functionality but is open for customization and improvements.
The Update Time plugin enhances your Obsidian workflow by automatically updating the metadata of your notes to include creation and modification timestamps. It tracks file changes, whether they occur inside or outside Obsidian, and updates the `created` and `updated` properties in the front matter with accurate file creation and modification times. Additionally, it supports folder exclusions, allowing users to specify directories where updates should not occur, such as templates. This plugin is particularly helpful for maintaining an accurate timeline of note edits and organizing metadata effectively.
The tidit plugin allows users to insert timestamps into their Obsidian notes effortlessly. It provides a customizable datetime format, enabling users to control how and where timestamps appear as they type. The plugin includes a dedicated command that can be triggered via the command menu, making it quick and convenient to add time-based entries.
The Timecodes plugin enhances note-taking in Obsidian by converting raw timecodes (`MM:SS` or `HH:MM:SS`) into clickable links within reading mode. It streamlines referencing timestamps in notes, making it easy to jump to specific moments in audio or video recordings. The plugin also detects and processes YouTube links, supporting raw URLs, markdown links, and embedded video formats.
