The Novel Word Count plugin allows users to track a wide range of statistics for files, folders, and entire vaults directly in Obsidian's File Explorer pane. It provides real-time updates for metrics like word count, page count, reading time, character count, and even custom properties from frontmatter. The plugin allows users to display up to three statistics at once, offering flexibility to customize what data appears next to each file or folder.

It includes filtering options to exclude specific files, folders, or code blocks from word counts. The plugin is designed for writers, researchers, and anyone managing large collections of notes who want to measure writing productivity in detail.

The Better Word Count plugin is a powerful tool that enhances the built-in word count functionality in Obsidian. When you select text, it accurately counts the words within that selection, rather than the entire document. This plugin also allows you to store statistics about your vault, providing valuable insights into your writing habits and progress. With its highly customizable status bar, you can tailor the display to suit your needs. Additionally, it offers a range of stats, including word count, character count, sentence count, footnotes, and citations in current files, as well as total counts for your entire vault.

Multi-language support, including English and Chinese, is available, with the ability to adjust the start of the week based on the user's locale. This plugin is a useful tool for writers, students, and note-takers aiming to monitor and achieve their daily writing targets.

The Target Word Count plugin for Obsidian introduces a writing challenge by disabling editing until a set target word count is achieved.

Progress is monitored across all documents, and deletion is restricted until the goal is met, encouraging consistent writing habits. The plugin offers commands to reset progress or stop the functionality entirely if needed. It's a straightforward tool designed to help users focus on reaching writing milestones.

The Beeminder Word Count plugin integrates Obsidian with Beeminder to help users track their writing progress. It allows users to send the word count of their current note directly to a specified Beeminder goal. The plugin only counts the actively selected text to ensure accurate reporting, which is ideal for users who edit the same file over multiple days. With customizable settings for Beeminder username, goal name, and API token, this plugin streamlines word count tracking for writers who rely on Beeminder for productivity and goal management.

This feature allows users to monitor their writing habits over time and maintain consistency in their note-taking or writing goals.
